Increasingly detailed, physics-based models are improving steadily, but an in-depth understanding of the persisting uncertainties is still lacking.

A team of scientists, led by UK Met Office, has achieved a scientific breakthrough allowing the longer-term prediction of North Atlantic pressure patterns, the key driving force behind winter weather in Europe and eastern...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall A new climate study has dismissed utterly implausible high end climate models. But the new study also seeks to raise the low end of the range of estimated climate sensitivity into the discomfort...

Climate scientists are worried a beaver boom may be helping to melt the Arctic ice.

In order to convince you of the veracity of that proposition I will first tell you a little story, an allegory if you want, regarding a thought experiment, a completely fictitious account of what a research project might...

Computer models are sometimes useful, and often wrong. In the case of climate and Coronavirus predictions, "wrong" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Those who defend climate model predictions often produce plots of observed surface temperature compared to the models which show very good agreement.

As scientists work to determine why some of the latest climate models suggest the future could be warmer than previously thought, a new study indicates the reason is likely related to challenges simulating the formation and...

Climate model sensitivity to CO2 is heavily dependent on artificial parameterizations (e.g. clouds, convection) that are implemented in global climate models that utilize the wrong atmospheric dynamical system and excessive...

by Gerald Browning Climate model sensitivity to CO2 is heavily dependent on artificial parameterizations (e.g. clouds, convection) that are implemented in global climate models that utilize  the wrong atmospheric dynamical...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall Even worse than we thought ™ – global warming estimates have been raised, just in time for next year’s COP26 conference...

From Scitechdaily By University of California Davis May 6, 2020 The lightness of water vapor buffers climate warming in the tropics. Conventional knowledge has it that warm air rises while cold air sinks. But a study from...

From Lockdown ScepticsStay sane. Protect the economy. Save livelihoods. An experienced senior software engineer, Sue Denim, has written a devastating review of Dr. Neil Ferguson’s Imperial college epidemiological model...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall University of Michigan researchers have done the unthinkable, and checked climate model predictions against available paleo-climate data to see if the predictions are plausible...

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley Models! Dontcha just wish your taxes didn’t have to pay for them? First there was the Imperial College model that predicted 500,000 deaths in the UK and 40 million worldwide from the...
