Climate scientists: Previous warming estimates were ‘on the hot side'
2017-09-20
The world has warmed more slowly than had been forecast by computer models, which were “on the hot side” and overstated the impact of emissions, a new study has found. Its projections suggest that the world has a better chance than previously claimed of meeting the goal set by the Paris agreement on climate change to limit warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

The study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, makes clear that rapid reductions in emissions will still be required but suggests that the world has more time to make the changes.

#3  That was true when scientists were odd-balls on the fringes of society, SteveS. Nowadays, people who get into tenure track science positions are well socially adjusted, group dynamics alpha, wheeler dealers.

#2  The value of a scientific theory or model lies in it's ability to make predictions, not in it's explanations. If your predictions suck, so does your theory. It's as simple as that.
