" A. Failed predictions1. Warming rate predictions1990 IPCC FAR: “Under the IPCC ‘Business as Usual’ emissions of greenhouse gases the average rate of increase of global mean temperature during the next century is estimated to be 0.3°C per decade (with an uncertainty range of 0.2°C – 0.5°C).” See here, page xi.Reality check: Since 1990 the warming rate has been from 0.12 to 0.19°C per decade depending on the database used, outside the uncertainty range of 1990. CO2 emissions have tracked the “Business as Usual” scenario. An interesting discussion of the 1990 FAR report warming predictions and an analysis of them through April of 2015 can be seen here. A list of official warming rates from various datasets and for various time spans can be seen here. "
Well, well.
First cab off the rank. Temperature is increasing.
Yes, the number is slightly high however as acknowledged by the author, the temperature is still increasing by 60ish % of the original prediction. Considering that estimate was from over 30 years ago one can only imagine how much science has advanced in that period. I notice that the credited scientists of today aren't saying that the climate isn't warming. They still agree that the planet is warming and they have a much better understanding of how that will affect the planet.
What you like to do ? Wait until you have a real, professional, scientific organisation that comes up with an alternative view and while we're waiting, we'll do nothing ?
What we also have learned is the potential exponential nature of temperature increase. We are now seeing the speeding up of permafrost melt. Releasing methane that has many times the effect of atmospheric co2. Another thing the scientists have observed and communicated in the past 30 years. And guess what happens to the global warming effect when you have gobs of extra methane entering the atmosphere over time ?
Any other facts from today you'd like to discuss ?
