UN’s IPCC preying on people’s ignorance


CFP: UN’s IPCC preying on people’s ignorance
To summarize, the IPCC claim they are not making predictions when the public think they are and their own words betray them. These predictions fail to meet scientific standards for forecasting, but the models fail to meet standards for modeling. Consider this statement on the Yahoo group site Climatesceptics by a financial modeler. Any model with dozens of assumptions, the interactions between which are not even understood is useless, or worse dangerous, if future actions are taken based upon it. The GCM’s can’t even get the sign right in many cases, they are worthless. The fact that the IPCC allows them to look at the data each year, and then go back and make unscientific adjustments to force the output to conform to observational data tells any objective observer everything they need to know about the provenance of GCM’s.
