surface temperature projections (way too much ocean heat uptake, incorrect short term variability, incorrect rainfall patterns, even incorrect absolute temperatures, very poor region projections..

The idea apparently persists that climate models are somehow built on the
surface temperature records, and that any adjustment to those records will change the model
projections for the future.
McIntyre has a new post where he tries to rescue the previous «
projections» — but he confuses the changes in HadSST (ocean
temperatures, which he is plotting) and the changes in HadCRUT3 (the global
surface air
temperature anomaly) which is what his
projection was for (as can be seen in the figures in the main post).
Average

me warming of the earth's
temperature, but that the observed rate of warming (both at the earth's
surface and throughout the lower atmosphere) is considerably less than has been anticipated by the collection of climate models upon whose
projections climate alarm (i.e., justification for strict restrictions on the use of fossil fuels) is built.
You can make them go down just as easily by increasing that aerosol forcing within it's uncertainty bounds and the earlier «ice - age» model
projections did exactly that — using
surface temperature as a target.
Figure 6: Easterbrook's two global
temperature projections A (green) and B (blue) vs. the IPCC TAR simple model
projection tuned to seven global climate models for emissions scenario A2 (the closest scenario to reality thus far)(red) and observed global

What's lost in a lot of the discussion about human - caused climate change is not that the sum of human activities is leading to some warming of the earth's
temperature, but that the observed rate of warming (both at the earth's
surface and throughout the lower atmosphere) is considerably less than has been anticipated by the collection of climate models upon whose
projections climate alarm (i.e., justification for strict restrictions on the use of fossil fuels) is built.
Ed Hawkins, of the University of Reading, in Britain, points out that

The real issue is the growing divergence between climate model
projections and the
surface temperature observations, illustrated in this diagram by Ed Hawkins:
Climate
projections calculated in this paper indicate that the future atmospheric CO2 concentration will not exceed 610 ppm in this century; and that the increase in global
surface temperature will be lower than 2.6 DegC compared to pre-industrial level even if there is a significant increase in the production of non-conventional fossil fuels.
One dynamically downscaled IPCC simulation (WRF - MPI - ECHAM5) has a robust representation of Pacific sea

Like all models, it has its quirks — an absolute
surface temperature that's a bit too low,
projections of ocean heat uptake that are a bit too high.
According to Ward's full commentary, accepted for publication in the same journal as Lomborg's paper, «
Projections of global mean
surface temperature for the period up to 2100 are based on cumulative annual global emissions of greenhouse gases up to the end of the century.
«From 1910 - 1949 (pre-agricultural development, pre-DEV) to 1970 - 2009 (full agricultural development, full - DEV), the central United States experienced large - scale increases in rainfall of up to 35 % and decreases in
surface air
temperature of up to 1 °C during the boreal summer months of July and August... which conflicts with expectations from climate change
projections for the end of the 21st century (i.e., warming and decreasing rainfall)(Melillo et al., 2014).»
Its revised
projection indicates that if we stick with business as usual, in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, average
surface temperatures on «Earth by 2100 will hit levels far beyond anything humans have ever experienced.
While he represents that this fault lies in inconsistency of the predictions of the models with a global average
surface air
temperature time serties, the fault truely lies in our inability to statistically test the
projections of these models.

Projections emphasizing relative rather than absolute sea

The discrepancy between recent observed and simulated trends in global mean
surface temperature has provoked a debate about possible causes and implications for future climate change
projections.
The thick blue line shows the
projection using the full spatial gridded
temperatures and confidence interval (5 — 16 — 84 — 95 %); magenta and black show the

The highly publicised, monthly global
surface temperature has become an icon of AGW alarmist
projections made by the IPCC.
This point was also made by Schmidt et al. (2014), which additionally showed that incorporating the most recent estimates of aerosol, solar, and greenhouse gas forcings, as well as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and
temperature measurement biases, the discrepancy between average GCM global
surface warming
projections and observations is significantly reduced.
Example: IPCC calculation and
projection of precipitation is in the order of +40 % to +60 %, which is clearly very wrong and misleading, so is
surface temperature and sea level rise, to name a few.
