(although, it is ironic that the IPCC "model" is actually 90 models. Its like having 90 models of gravity. Yet I digress) not ironic, not nothing, gravity is not at all chaotic, it is very well behaved and has some real simple rules. Climate is more complex and is beholden to several million more variables, but you have demonstrated in that single sentence how it is you understand neither. Ah, so you agree that the IPCC model is wrong. Because they seem rather fixated on CO2. Here's the link to the IPCC executive summary. I defy you to find one reference to any driver other than CO2. http://www.climatechange2013.org/images/uploads/WG1AR5_Headlines.pdf Funny that when I say the IPCC is too simplistic you attack the statement. And yet you say the same thing yourself. Despite your bleatings of protest at inconvenient findings, as Galileo is reputed to have muttered: "And yet, it moves." I don't know why I even try. Modern science is obviously beyond you. KEEP UP! You are fixated on historical science, not current work. Several times now more recent work updating the partial Earth study the 'flatened' curve embarrassment came from has been posted. NO pause is now observed, deeper investigation keeps showing continued warming as well as more complex and variable climate behaviors and feedbacks than understood before. DUH! It's a Big planet. Arctic, 8 times the temp increase observed anywhere else in the last decade and more, info not available when the curve with the flattening was plotted. Mid-depth S. Pacific, huge caloric storage no one expected. (That means WARMER.) Again, information not present when the flattening curve was published. Antarctic, double the previous net ice melt in just the last 3 years, warmer surface water has now uncut the single most vulnerable ice shelf and associated glacier feed structure we know about. No even hypothesized block to an accelerating collapse of that whole W. Antarctic ice cap has been suggested. Ocean acidification observed world wide. Just natural variability?? From what other mechanisms than the unprecedented anthropogenic CO2 rise in the atmosphere? Last time there was this much CO2 in the air and things were stable, NO polar ice caps?? That's a problem. Climate change Very closely followed all over the N. Hemisphere is continuing to shorten Winter all through the 'pause' as observed by vegetative growth patterns and migratory animal, bird and insect patterns. Less studied S. Hemisphere behaviors seem in lockstep. The Southern Ocean is changing fastest of all by present inadequate studies. The latest work show More S. Ocean warming than earlier, not less. Saying 'Climate Scientists are inherently biased is like saying Physicians invent disease and create injury. Or astronomers create stars. Studying a phenomenon isn't promoting it or creating it. Climate scientists are the most upset about anthropogenic climate change and the most involved in finding realistic coping mechanisms and possible controls mitigating the warming and it's disastrous consequences for humanity world wide. Deniers are the modern equivalent of allegorical Ostriches, burying your head in the sand only gets sand in your eyes, your butt gets mowed just the same as if you saw the trouble coming. The rest of the world, and scientists generally, aren't sociopathic NeoCons or delusional US Right Wing corporate apologists. If your science isn't sound, the data verifiable, the arithmetic adds up, it doesn't get published and you don't have a career. Other people, methods and replicating studies have to agree or everyone gets busy figuring out why. Scientist Love sound but unexpected findings. The key word is "FINDINGS", not creative ways to confuse issues and 'refute' the irrefutable observations from the field. You say there is no warming. The people with thermometers and space satellite instruments, etc. all over say you are lying. Mistakes get made, the system is the Only one on Earth that has inherent self-correcting mechanisms built in. Why we pay scientists and not Witch Doctors to figure how 'why' and keep as much shit out of the fan as possible. A revelation to political animals who argue to fools, but, there it is. Ah personal attacks in the absence of facts. First - to address your question about .. warming of the oceans. I have no question that there is heat transference between the surface and depths of the oceans. It is, however, precisely irrelevant to the question of .. is the IPCC model accurate. The ipcc models make predictions of temperature. Those predictions are wrong, therefore the theory is wrong. Instead of accusing me of being illiterate - perhaps you should examine paleontological papers - where there were ice ages that had co2 concentrations in excess of 380 ppm. And in fact up to 600ppm. How is that possible if the IPCC is right hmm? There have also been temperature excursions higher than now with lower co2 concentrations - again - how can it be anthropomorphic - or more precisely how can you be so close mindedly *sure*
