The lag isn't a minor factor though. We are talking a decade plus of incorrect predictions. Newer models that have taken deep ocean warming into account are probably more accurate.
The oceans are now significantly warmer than earlier models predicted. There's no way that doesn't impact the outcome.
- repolfx 7y agoActually newer models don't predict the lag / the pause at all. Instead what happened is they decided the temperature records that showed a pause were wrong, went back and adjusted them so there's no longer any real pause if you look at the latest temperature datasets. The entire thing was written off as a giant measurement error.
