Climate model, definition of

The relative amount of carbon emitted per unit of energy or fuels consumed

• Climategate, what is going on?
  Global warming, climate change, greenhouse effect and climategate; how 'valid' is the climate science?

• Cloud feedback wrong in climate models, paper
  A recent paper by Miller et al 2012 in the AMS Journal indicates that the climate models could be out by a factor of 19 with respect to actual cloud feedback.
• Climate models are just wrong..
  In a recent paper climate models were hindcast tested against actual surface observations, and found to be seriously lacking if not totally useless... We provide some more background detail.
• Climatic Modelling - the problems with getting it right
  Climatic Models are being used more and more to demonstrate human induced climate change is happening; we look at the problems with this.
• Lets the climate models tell the truth we want to see..
  Climate models are just that, a model, based on assumptions and theories. Their accuracy is limited not only through the complexities of the climatic systems they model but also by the conclusions researchers want to see from them..

• Cenozoic Ice Age Caused by Drop in CO2… Because Models

• First-time direct proof of chemical reactions in particulates
  Paul Scherrer Institute Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed a new method to analyse particulate matter more precisely than ever before...
• A Tale Of Two Convergences

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1SgmFa0r04 NASA just launched a new high-resolution computer model that gives a stunning look at the yearly movement of carbon emissions through the planet’s atmosphere. NASA created the model by combining ground-based
• The Lewis and Crok exposition – Climate less sensitive to Carbon Dioxide than most models suggest
  Full papers plus additional comments from co-author Nic Lewis follow. I have added some relevant diagrams and tables from the report, plus reproduced the foreword by Dr. Judith Curry as well as updated the summary Equilibrium Climate Response Graph originally...

• Global Warming is REAL but NOT a Big DEAL
  Guest essay by Dr. Ira Glickstein We’ve reached a turning point where it is hard for any Global Warming Alarmist to claim (with a straight face) that the world as we know it is about to end in the coming … Continue reading →
• Climate Craziness of the Week: only the ‘cooler’ models are wrong – the rest say 4ºC of warming by 2100
  From the University of New South Wales and Dr. Steven Sherwood: “Climate sceptics like to criticise climate models for getting things wrong, and we are the first to admit they are not perfect,” said Sherwood. “But what we are finding … Continue...
• Earth Could be Two Times More Sensitive to CO2 Than Previously Thought
