Comments on: Climate Reporting in Physics WorldClimate science commentary by actual climate scientists...By: Barton Paul Levenson- November 30, 2010 The warming is real, but it is mostly making cold places warmer rather than making hot places hotter. To represent this local warming by a global average is misleading, because the global average is only a fraction of a degree while the local warming at high latitudes is much larger.14 It's not misleading at all, it's the simplest index for capturing the heat content of the atmosphere and hydrosphere. And we've known about "polar amplification" for a long time. In fact, the models Dyson is..http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/02/climate-reporting-in-physics-world/#... By: pete best- November 30, 2010 Does anything that Freeman Dyson says about climate models ring true with this subject. He mentions that because climate models cannnot demonstrate the el nino effect it is of limited value in prediction but good for understanding climate. Criticism of global warming studies Dyson has questioned the predictive value of current computational models of climate change, urging instead more extensive use of local observations. He considers this view to be "heretical", along with his views on the...http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/02/climate-reporting-in-physics-world/#... |
