Figure 5 compares the IPCC SAR global
surface warming projection for the most accurate emissions scenario (IS92a) to the observed surface warming from 1990 to 2012.
We've narrowed the uncertainty in
surface warming projections by generating thousands of climate simulations that each closely match observational records for nine key climate metrics, including warming and ocean heat content.»
We can therefore again compare the Scenario A2 multi-model global
surface warming projections to the observed warming, in this case since 2000, when the AR4 model simulations began (Figure 9).
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.

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

Meehl and Teng recently showed that when this is done, thereby turning a model
projection into a hindcast, the models reproduced the observed trends — accelerated
warming in the 1970s and reduced rate of
surface warming during the last 15 years — quite well.
It is not a

In any case, as the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report showed, the observed global
surface warming remains within the range of climate model
projections.
«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).»
