Climate Change Endgame In Sight?
"In my Weekly Standard cover story about the fallout from the “Climategate” email scandal three years ago, I offered the following question by way of prediction:
Eventually the climate modeling community is going to have to reconsider the central question: Have the models the IPCC uses for its predictions of catastrophic warming overestimated the climate’s sensitivity to greenhouse gases?
That day appears to have arrived. The new issue of The Economist has a long feature on the declining confidence in the high estimates of climate sensitivity. That this appears in The Economist
is significant, because this august British news organ has been fully
on board with climate alarmism for years now. A Washington-based Economist
correspondent admitted to me privately several years ago that the
senior editors in London had mandated consistent and regular alarmist
climate coverage in its pages.
As The Economist shows in its first chart (Figure 1 here), the
recent temperature record is now falling distinctly to the very low end
of its predicted range and may soon fall out of it, which means the
models are wrong, or, at the very least, that there’s something going on
that supposedly “settled” science hasn’t been able to settle." [Power Line]
