For example, the criticisms of James Hansen's 1988 global warming projections never go beyond «he was wrong,» when in reality it's important to evaluate what caused the discrepancy between his projections and actual climate changes, and what we can learn from this.

In particular, we find that the observationally informed warming projection for the end of the twenty - first century for the steepest radiative forcing scenario is about 15 per cent warmer (+0.5 degrees Celsius) with a reduction of about a third in the two - standard - deviation spread (− 1.2 degrees Celsius) relative to the raw model projections reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.»

lolwot and a couple of other CAGW flag - wavers kept trying to keep the failed 1988 Hansen warming projection alive by fogging the issue up with secondary trace GHG trends.

[UPDATED, 6:10 p.m: The preceding line was adjusted to reflect that Dr. Schellnhuber was not describing a worst - case warming projection.

Their notion is to have a «Plan C» if emissions trajectories are not bent downward and the higher end of warming projections comes to pass.

However, in a major about - face on June 20, «Climate change: A cooling consensus,» The Economist takes writers at the New Republic and the Washington Post to task for admitting that the global warming projections predicted by the computer models have failed, while at the same time trying to spin the results in such as way as to maintain the urgency for enacting drastic (and very costly) climate policies.

The creation of high end unachievable scenarios just to create alarming but impossible warming projections seems inherently deceptive and dishonest.

By that measure (measure 1 in the table), the no - change forecast errors were 12 percent smaller than those of the IPCC dangerous warming projection.

In the latter case, the alternative relative SST measure in the lower panel does not change very much over the 21st century, even with substantial Atlantic warming projections from climate models, because, crucially, the warming projected for the tropical Atlantic in the models is not very different from that projected for the tropics as a whole.

In Addendum: Climate Change Impacts in the United States (pp. 26 - 28), Michaels and his colleague Chip Knappenberger discuss those studies in greater detail and also illustrate with two graphs how the IPCC AR4 warming projections should be adjusted in light of more recent climate sensitivity research.

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.»

But by looking at around 200 projections from climate models, and separating those that capture the slowdown from those that do not, we have shown that the slowdown does not affect long - term warming projections in any measurable way.
