Spencer analyzed 90 climate models against surface temperature and satellite temperature data, and found that more than 95 percent of the models «have over-forecast the warming trend since 1979, whether we use their own surface temperature dataset (HadCRUT4), or our satellite dataset of lower tropospheric temperatures (UAH).»

These models can then be mapped against climate forecasts to predict how phenology could shift in the future, painting a picture of landscapes in a world of warmer temperatures, altered precipitation and humidity, and changes in cloud cover.

The two most common arguments against warming theories seem to be (1) local temperature variations (or mutually - inconclusive data) disprove global warming itself; and (2) models aren't real science, anyway, so we don't need to worry about them.

The model variables that are evaluated against all sorts of observations and measurements range from solar radiation and precipitation rates, air and sea surface temperatures, cloud properties and distributions, winds, river runoff, ocean currents, ice cover, albedos, even the maximum soil depth reached by plant roots (seriously!).

The system could also, I think, be used to check some weather and climate theories against historical temperature data, because (a) it handles incomplete temperature data, (b) it provides a structure (the model) in which such theories can be represented, and (c) it provides ratings for evaluation of the theories.

There is mostly no actual past temperature series to compare, and so the techniques you cite are of little relevance — what model is Frank supposed to do a chi - square test against?

• On the climatic scale, the model whose results for temperature are closest to reality (PCM ‐ 20C3M) has an efficiency of 0.05, virtually equivalent to an elementary prediction based on the historical mean; its predictive capacity against other indicators (e.g. maximum and minimum monthly temperature) is worse.

Clement et al (2009), Observational and Model Evidence for Positive Low - Level Cloud Feedback — regressed cloud amounts against sea surface temperature.

I prefer if possible to study models that provide a viable hypothesis for 20th century temperature change, pushing against other observational constraints as a necessary expedient.

Simulations where the magnitude of solar irradiance changes is increased yield a mismatch between model results and CO2 data, providing evidence for modest changes in solar irradiance and global mean temperatures over the past millennium and arguing against a significant amplification of the response of global or hemispheric annual mean temperature to solar forcing.

Perhaps the IPCC's models are correct between 1890 - 1990 for all I know but since no - one was measuring global tropospheric temperatures in 1890 that specific prediction has yet to be checked against observed reality.

«Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of change of temperature in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5) global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at projected rates in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializing.

My recollection was that in another context, when confronted with the fact that climate models have not been successfully validated against temperature records, or general global climate, Gavin responded that that type of validation was not necessary.

Each model's climate feedback parameter is derived by regressing the model's radiative imbalance response against its global temperature response over the 150 years following an abrupt quadrupling of CO2 concentration.
