THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds IPCC climate models unable to reproduce solar radiation at Earth's surface

A new paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres finds the latest generation of IPCC climate models were unable to reproduce the global dimming of sunshine from the ~ 1950s-1980s, followed by global brightening of sunshine during the 1990's. These global dimming and brightening periods explain the observed changes in global temperature over the past 50-60 years far better than the slow steady rise in CO2 levels. The authors find the models underestimated dimming by 80-85% in comparison to observations, underestimated brightening in China and Japan as well, and that "no individual model performs particularly well for all four regions" studied. Dimming was underestimated in some regions by up to 7 Wm-2 per decade, which by way of comparison is 25 times greater than the alleged CO2 forcing of about 0.28 Wm-2 per decade. The paper demonstrates climate models are unable to reproduce the known climate change of the past, much less the future, that the forcing from changes in solar radiation at the Earth surface is still far from being understood and dwarfs any alleged effect of increased CO2.

The Strange History Of Global Warming Fear :: The Market Oracle

What we can rather sure of is that Hutton's "no prospect of an end" does not apply to junk science claims that Global Warming Apocalypse is just around the corner, that the warming of 1980-2000 was due to CO2 from fossil fuel burning and will continue. The prospect and threat of global cooling is alive and well. Like glaciers it has no respect for human beings who get in its way!

Robert Bennett: Cool off the global warming debate | Deseret News

There is an old saying, "Your view depends upon your point of view" — a truism that applies to politics as well as scenery. A single set of facts can produce a number of entirely different conclusions. Nowhere is that better demonstrated than in the debate about global warming.

To fight climate change, don't mention it, study suggests - Science

Shhh! Widespread adoption of energy-efficient technologies such as compact fluorescent light bulbs and electric cars promises to curb the pace of global climate change. But if widespread adoption is the goal, don't mention the environmental benefits, a new paper suggests.
