Why Climate Models Are Way Off

American Thinker

Climate scientists recently discovered that they’ve been underestimating the impact of a particular organic compound in the atmosphere, and the oversight’s significance is so profound that it’s left existing climate models completely obsolete. As Jo Nova writes, “This is so big, it may change the sacred ‘climate sensitivity’ of the whole Earth”.

Isoprene is what’s known as a volatile organic compound, or a VOC, and “has a recognized role in protecting plants against many abiotic stresses” like “heat stress…drought…[and] oxidative stress” with trees being the greatest emitters. (When the chemical isoprene interacts with other compounds in the atmosphere, the products are a number of secondary organic aerosols.) More

  3. An endless source of frustration, if anyone wants such a thing, can be readily found in attempts to get a climate loony to realize that building and running climate models has nothing to do with science. The output of a climate model isn’t science. It isn’t even knowledge.

  4. The models are off because they’re not models. They’re a bunch of bad assumptions wrapped inside some piss poor number crunching designed to yield a predetermined outcome in order to keep the bureaucrat bucks coming in.

  5. These wako scientists create models based upon what the crazy Leftists tell them to create. I think the best place still to go is the Farmer’s Almanac, at least until the Leftists totally invade that publication.
