Constantly failing? Have you actually read the literature in climate science? The models have been predicting pretty much everything that's been happening in the past 20 year.
Collapse of Antarctic ice shelves? Predicted. Ice cover of the Arctic? Surprisingly well predicted. Atmospheric CO2 ppm? Same thing.
- lemming 12y agoThe predictions have been off in one important aspect - they've completely failed to predict the rate at which these things are happening. Even the more exaggerated estimates have been way too low compared to how quickly the Arctic ice is actually disintegrating.
- jqm 12y agoAtmospheric CO2 ppm a prediction? Ok. You don't know what you are talking about do you?
- Daishiman 12y agoYup. Do you?
- jqm 12y agoI'm thinking that if you did know then you would be aware of how many (often quite prestigious and well funded) models have failed to predict global climate change outcomes, especially in timing... That's my point about models. For such a complex system they are very difficult to make with any accuracy, and there are any number of factors that can throw them off. I see this same lack of dimensionality in this article. Has nothing to do with man affecting the climate which most reasonable people agree is likely occurring.
