Recent
weather model trends have increased the chances of the first, shore - hugging scenario.

While the
trends associated with climate change — hotter days, heavier rainfall and a greater number of extreme
weather events — are present in the
models, for many crops in Africa and Asia it's not clear how extensive the effects will be.
To project that
trend forward, the team then used
models recently developed to analyze Antarctic ice sheet collapse, plus large global data sets to tailor specific Atlantic tropical cyclone data and create «synthetic» storms to simulate future
weather patterns.
[Response: The study quoted uses the difference between the
weather models and the mostly independent surface temperature record to estimate a residual
trend.
While this methodology doesn't eliminate your point that the
trends from different periods in the observed record (or from different observed datasets) fall at various locations within our
model - derived 95 % confidence range (clearly they do), it does provide justification for using the most recent data to show that sometimes (including currently), the observed
trends (which obviously contain natural variability, or,
weather noise) push the envelop of
model trends (which also contain
weather noise).
These are
weather models that assimilate observed data, but as observing systems and technology has changed, they often have apparent
trends that are not climatic in origin.
I know in general terms that the hydrological cycle should intensify with warming and that one event is hard to pin on climate change, but it would be good to do a catch up on how the broad
trend of extreme
weather fits the
models.

For example, let's say that evidence convinced me (in a way that I wasn't convinced previously) that all recent changes in land surface temperatures and sea surface temperatures and atmospheric temperatures and deep sea temperatures and sea ice extent and sea ice volume and sea ice density and moisture content in the air and cloud coverage and rainfall and measures of extreme
weather were all directly tied to internal natural variability, and that I can now see that as the result of a statistical
modeling of the
trends as associated with natural phenomena.
This is why there is little faith placed in CAGW forecasts, any one who knows anything about how the
weather really works, understands the real drivers are not even understood enough to used in
models yet, and with out considering the background patterns of the seasonal, annual, decadal
trends that determine how the
weather works, are even used in
weather forecasting, in a viable active method, why should ANY confidence be placed in CAGW long range unverifiable
modeled forecasts?
Climate
models are what happens when you calculate changes over a long enough period of time for the fluctuations in
weather to average out so that you can see the underlying
trend.
Judge Alsup also mocked the numerous times IPCC predictive
models got the current climate
trends wrong and catastrophic
weather never arrived.
In particular, my foci include
modeling trends in the timing of transition seasons, such as spring, and evaluating the influences of Arctic amplification and sea ice variability on midlatitude extreme
weather events.
The observed
weather trends appear outside + / -95 %
model bounds for 19 to 25 years.
Summary of how they got to this finding: They use CMIP
models which, if not outright flawed, have not proved their validity in estimated temperature levels in the 2030 to 2070 timeframe, are used as the basis for extrapolations that assert the creation of more and more 3 - sigma «extreme events» of hot
weather; this is despite the statistical contradiction and weak support for predicting significant increases in outlier events based on mean increases; then, based on statistical correlations between mortality and extreme heat events (ie heat waves), temperature warming
trends are conjured into an enlargement of the risks from heat events; risks increase significantly only by ignoring obvious adjustments and mitigations any reasonable community or person would make to adapt to warmer
weather.
