    Well not bad from a Oxford Scholar.  

    Stating the flaming obvious.  Yet we have many here who state the rate of change is still belting along.  All those Brian Cox supporters and some up their posters here on HC


    The global warming backpedalling begins. “It’s less worse than we thought”

    Computer modelling used a decade ago to predict how quickly global average temperatures would rise may have forecast too much warming, a study has found.
    Myles Allen, professor of geosystem science at the University of Oxford and one of the study’s authors told The Times: “We haven’t seen that rapid acceleration in warming after 2000 that we see in the models. We haven’t seen that in the observations.”

    According to The Times, another of the paper’s authors, Michael Grubb, a professor of international energy and climate change at University College London, admitted his earlier forecasting models had overplayed how temperatures would rise.
    At the Paris climate summit in 2015, Professor Grubb said: “All the evidence from the past 15 years leads me to conclude that actually delivering 1.5C is simply incompatible with democracy.”


    And then 3 years ago the IPCC hid this already KNOWN news.

    A report published 3 years ago by the Global Warming Policy Foundation showed that the best observational evidence indicates our climate is considerably less sensitive to greenhouse gases than climate models are estimating.


    The clues for this and the relevant scientific papers are all referred to in the Fifth Assessment report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). However, this important conclusion was not drawn in the full IPCC report – it is only mentioned as a possibility – and is ignored in the IPCC’s Summary for Policymakers (SPM).
