Those Ugly Climate Models

Possible? There's much to suggest that the models the world is expected to bow to have missed the mark by a wide margin.

"When the history of climate modeling comes to be written in some distant future, the major story may well be how the easy, computable answer turned out to be the wrong one, resulting in overestimated warming and false scares from the enhanced greenhouse effect," Robert L. Bradley Jr. wrote a few months ago for the American Institute for Economic Research.

Bradley bases his observation on comments made by Steven Koonin, not a Republican operative nor corporate shill but a Massachusetts Institute of Technology- and CalTech-educated physicist and Obama appointee, who has said that because results produced by models "Generally don't much look like the climate system we observe, modelers then adjust these parameters to get a better match with some features of the real climate system."

The buried truth is the models are off nearly a half degree Celsius.

Simply put, "Climate models overheat."

Economist David R. Henderson and visiting Hoover Institution fellow Charles L. Hooper say that because "We have virtually no ability to run controlled experiments, such as raising and lowering CO2 levels in the atmosphere and measuring the resulting change in temperatures," researchers "Build elaborate computer models that use physics to calculate how energy flows into, through, and out of our planet's land, water, and atmosphere."

Reality will ultimately catch up to the climate hyperbole.
