It is remarkable the IPCC and their compliant alarmists scientists can predict disastrous warming to so many degrees C, and point to their computer models for back up. Then, when the actual observations do not support their predictions, they say yes but,but,but…..
KR it is a joke for anyone to the temperature is exactly where it should be, when not a single alarmist climate scientist and their climate models predicted it.
And – they can’t get their models to replicate actual observations over any reasonable length of time without tinkering with variables they can’t measure!
The models which best fit the past 30 years are those which assume natural variability warming – nothing else.
The fact is climate scientists cannot accurately model future climate with so many variables still inadequately understood. At present climate science is blinded by ‘framing’ CO2, and scientists have inadequate knowledge of all negative and positive feedback mechanisms. Combine that with the other poorly understood forcing mechanisms and we have guess work at best!
Hardly a basis for turning our economy upside down and placing ourselves at a distinct disadvantage to our trading partners.

It sticks out like canine gonads, folks: The reason the IPCC exists is to blame the human race for the climate. If the human race can’t be blamed, the IPCC has to be disbanded and climatology is relegated to the back of the research funding queue because it can no longer generate taxes to pay for the gravy train, the conferences, the frequent flyer status credits and the self-congratulatory awards system. As the backers of the CO2 hypothesis become more irrational and friendless, I expect that a determined effort will be made in the next year to discredit the UAH satellite log, which Douglass and Christy point out is the only reliable, incorruptible high-technology record of global atmospheric temperature since 1979.
The fatal flaw and the telltale junk science alert attached to the CAGW hypothesis is that it has the backing of a global political movement dedicated to dismantling the Western economic system; climate scientists have become indistinguishable from the extreme left of politics and have willingly destroyed their credibility by basking in their status as radical activists. That inspires zero confidence in their professionalism and ethics. The well-founded popular suspicion is most entered the field as environmentalist zealots and regard scientific adherence to truth and evidence as an expendable concept.
