Research survey shows global warming models have been accurate since the 1970s

There are dozens of disciplines and subdisciplines within the broad ambit of climate science, studying everything from ancient geology to the spread of disease. But one discipline in particular is exposed to intense public scrutiny, the subject of long-running political and legal disputes: modeling.

As interesting as the details of climate science may be, what society most needs from it is an answer to a simple question: What the hell is going to happen? What are we in for? That’s the question models seek to answer.

It turns out that attempting to understand, model, and predict the entire global biophysical/atmospheric system is complicated. It’s especially tricky because there’s no way to run tests. There’s no second Earth to use as an experimental control group. The best scientists can do is use their knowledge of climate history and climate physics to build models of Earth systems and then test the models against future emission scenarios.

Repugnuts claim there is no such thing as global warming. They don't believe much of anything that's the truth.

I know that "climate change" is real, and that the world is warming at an accelerating rate, simply from spending so much time out in the real world over my life time, and closer to 'nature' than many people that I know...

And yet those idiot denialists keep on flooding the letters pages, the airwaves, and the internet, with their mindless parroted coal&oil company-inspired drivel day in and day out..

And as long as the corporate polluters and their financiers "own" so many politicians around the world, their denialist nonsense will keep on flowing.

"The Anti-Expert’s Guide to Everything – 2020 National Tour"
2020 National Tour

Dr Charles Firth (The Chaser) and Prof James Schloeffel (The Shovel) are packing up their healing crystals to go on a tour from one side of this flat earth to the other, presenting one hour comedy lecture all the secrets doctors, scientists and all the other “experts” don’t want you to know.

   Did you know that climate change graphs look very different indeed if you turn them upside down?
   Have you ever noticed the alarming number of celebrities who have been vaccinated and then later died?
   Did you know that over 99% of people who die in car crashes have eaten sultanas at some point in their life? And yet the government refuses to ban sultanas!

Fresh from a national tour playing to sell-out crowds across the country, this show will alarm even the most level-headed conspiracy theorist. Charles and James take on topics that others fear to address for fear of looking like a total idiot.

the models appear to be as accurate as the hockeystick. GIGO

there is no such thing as proven man made global warming, thats the difference.

the reason for the warming is that big ball of fusing hydrogen in the sky.

You mean that same sun that has been there for the past few billion years  ???

If only you had managed to fit some science into your pathetic corporatist/redneck education --  instead of only learning how to exploit other peoples, spreading hate and division, and reading up on the joys of unregulated 'dog-eat-dog' free market paradises --  you would have some understanding of just what the 'Greenhouse Effect' is, and how much human activity (industry, pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity and biomass, overpopulation..) has managed to accelerate 'climate change' over the last couple of centuries..

Unfortunately, you obviously don't care what kind of world your grandchildren will inherit.

yes that's the one. The one that drives our entire climate.

brain-dead republicans keep their heads in the sand. They don't give a shit what happens to the earth.

Notice that the gormless and spineless uneducated fuckwit DYKnose has pulled up his skirts and done a bolt from here, yet again,  when his attempts at deflecting attention away from his beloved oil company bosses ongoing efforts at destroying our planet, fell over in a heap...

Doubling down on his usual efforts at totally denying any climate change,  he then tried to muddy the waters further by attempting to move the discussion onto how he personally considers the plastic pollution in the oceans  to be the world's #1 enviro' problem (!)  --  without providing one iota of substantiation (as per usual)..

When I started systematically destroying his bullshit claims, he then started in on his personal attacks, claiming that I said/believed/claimed things that I never have.   True to form there was no action from Victor against DYKface, no comments against his behaviour from Fred or Tommy, and nicko even wanting me basemented for insulting his belover guru T'DYK.

I saw a very interesting video on YouTube last week from the current efforts on cleaning up the NE Pacific "plastic patch" rubbish dump  --  which totally destroys all of DYKheads lies :

https://youtu.be/FrpCk-ZfsrI


Not only does that report totally destroy DYK's lies,  but it also shows just what a couple of total fools Maddog and gelico look now, for both supporting DYKbrain's idiotic rants and for their personal attacks on what I said back then :
*  the cleanups' first successfu haul was only 3 weeks ago
*  last years efforts failed
*  so far, they have collected only 1/2 a container load..
