By Judith Curry Does global warming make extreme weather events worse? The IPCC SREX found limited evidence of global warming worsening extreme events. Nevertheless, there are a lot of climate scientists that think global warming is worsening extreme events. … Continue reading →
by Judith A. Curry My invited talk at the American Physical Society Meeting in Denver. The abstract for my talk: Causes and implications of the growing divergence between climate model simulations and observations For the past 15+ years, there has … Continue reading →
by Dagfinn Reiersøl The Big Question in the climate change debate, as traditionally and conventionally posed, is: “is global warming caused by humans?” To those of us who know a little about climate science, it’s clearly an over-simplification, since climate … Continue reading →
by Judith Curry How can the IPCC increase their confidence in anthropogenic global warming at the same time their model projections are diverging farther and farther from reality? – John Nielsen-Gammon This question is asked in a blog post by … Continue reading →
by Judith Curry Sixteen years into the mysterious ‘global-warming hiatus’, scientists are piecing together an explanation. – Jeff Tollefson Nature has a News and Views piece entitled Climate Change: The Case of the Missing Heat (complete article is available online). … Continue reading →
by Judith Curry In a word, no. And now for the 2nd question: Does the massive cold air outbreak blanketing much of the U.S. disprove global warming? Same word: no. The media are mostly in stupid mode over this one. … Continue reading →
by Judith Curry The scientific case is strengthening: developed countries are to blame for global warming – and there will soon be a legal reckoning. - Chris Huhne Chris Huhne has an article in the Guardian: It won’t be long … Continue reading →
by Euan Mearns and Clive Best In this post we present evidence that suggests 88% of temperature variance and one-third of net warming observed in the UK since 1956 can be explained by cyclical change in UK cloud cover. A … Continue reading →
by Judith Curry Insights from Ed Lorenz, pioneer of chaos theory, on the detection of anthropogenic global warming. Ed Lorenz has been arguably the most influential meteorologist in history, having laid the foundations of chaos theory. From his 2008 obituary: … Continue reading →
Several new analyses of relevance to interpreting the comparison of climate models with observations. Ed Hawkins Ed Hawkins has a new post Near-term global surface temperature projections in IPCC AR5. He refers to Figure 11.25 in the AR5 Report … Continue reading →
