Climate models can't explain 2023's heat anomaly
- LorenPechtel 3y agoOne thing immediately comes to mind: methane hydrates. We don't know how much is out there and we don't know how temperature sensitive it is--the result is that they aren't even included in the climate models. Yet the worst-case predictions are even worse than for CO2.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoThey don’t try to account for methane hydrates at all?

- jkic47 3y agonot surprised. by their very nature, they are predicting highly complex systems from super limited data given the scale of the planet and the number of variables. when they find an anomaly, they eventually find root cause, add their learnings into their models and get better.
