Settled Science: A new study published in a peer-reviewed journal finds that climate models exaggerate the global warming from CO2 emissions by as much as 45%. If these findings hold true, it's huge news.
X. In the study, authors Nic Lewis and Judith Curry looked at actual temperature records and compared them with climate change computer models.
As a result, they say, the planet will warm less than the models predict, even if we continue pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
How much lower? Lewis and Curry say that their findings show temperature increases will be 30%-45% lower than the climate models say.
This is the same journal, after all, that recently published widely covered studies saying the Sahara has been growing and the climate boundary in central U.S. has shifted 140 miles to the east because of global warming.
The Lewis and Curry findings come after another study, published in the prestigious journal Nature, that found the long-held view that a doubling of CO2 would boost global temperatures as much as 4.5 degrees Celsius was wrong.
The question now is: What will it take for the "Settled science" crowd to stop trying to silence dissent and admit that maybe, just maybe, the science on global warming isn't so settled after all?
