CLIMATE COMMISSION MISLEADS WORLD ON IPCC

Canadian author and blogger Donna Laframboise thinks the Climate Commission is gilding the lily.

"It’s disturbing how routinely the public is misled regarding the nature of that UN body known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Take, for instance, a page on the website of Australia’s Climate Commission titled The IPCC at work in Hobart."

CLIMATE MODELS WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT

Anthony Watts at his website draws attention to the continuing failure of climate models to reasonably forecast climate.

"A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters finds that the latest climate models are performing even worse than the earlier generations of climate models in predicting

“…both the mean surface air temperature as well as the frequency of extreme monthly mean temperature events due to climate warming.”

The author hypothesizes the reasons for this are that attempts in the latest generation of models to reproduce observed changes in Arctic sea ice are causing “significant and widening discrepancy between the modeled and observed warming rates outside of the Arctic.”
