Scientists Compare Warming Projections to 15 Years of Temps, Found Projections Were Wrong
Would it surprise you to know that the change to the climate so strenuously projected by scientists to occur after the year 2000 hasn’t really materialized?
Yeah, me neither.
In a study published Monday in Nature Geosience, a group of scientists confirmed what we already knew — models being used to predict global warming were way wrong.
In fact, as The Daily Caller notes, there hasn’t been very much of a temperature change at all between the years 1998 and 2014, and that models were unable to predict a 15-year “hiatus” on global warming.
“Satellite data showed a more than 20-year ‘hiatus’ in warming,” The Daily Caller writer Michael Batasch remarked.

Michael Grubb, a professor of international energy and climate change at University College London and one of the authors of the study, admitted that his initial projections were, in fact, wrong. “When the facts change, I change my mind, as (John Maynard) Keynes said,” he noted according to The Times.
He probably meant for that to sound intelligent, but basically the man believed what he believed until he was proven to be categorically wrong. That’s hardly praise-worthy.
Myles Allen, professor of geosystem science at the University of Oxford, and another author of the study, said, “We haven’t seen that rapid acceleration in warming after 2000 that we see in the models. We haven’t seen that in the observations,” according to The Times.
They’re not the only scientists reporting the discrepancies between scientific models and reality, either. Another study in Nature Geoscience published May 2017 said the same thing.
“In the early twenty-first century, satellite-derived tropospheric warming trends were generally smaller than trends estimated from a large multi-model ensemble,” the study states in its abstract.
What’s more frustrating is that these reports of climate change models coming up short will be ignored by so many because, thanks to a rigorously “progressive” Democrat agenda, science has been turned into a political battlefield.
