Have Climate Models Ever Gotten Anything Right?

They seem to be almost 100% negatively correlated with the climate.

    News: CRU have released nearly all remaining data under a FOI request!

    • DirkH says:

      They suddenly FOUND the data?

      • DirkH says:

        Oooh! And Phil Jones made it all happen!
        “”So when earlier requests were turned down by the University of East Anglia (UEA) on what I thought were foolish grounds, I decided to push this to the limit.””

        His NOTW PR hack really knows how to feed the media lines.

      • It was in the binder with Obama’s birth certificate.

      • Peter Ellis says:

        Dirk: Read the article. The “Jones” in question is Jonathan Jones, from Oxford.

    • Latitude says:

      good Lord…..
      ….you mean it took this long for them to “edit” it

    • Michael says:

      Except raw data is not worth much without a site history audits which most countries haven’t done. America’s many site histories show they are severly compromised e.g. locations are moved multiple times including across, up and down and local influences ignored.

    • Blade says:

      It’s now up in a thread at WUWT …

      UEA/CRU releases their climate data under ICO order, but there are a few holdouts

      “All data sent to the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia by National Meteorological Services around the globe to complete its global land temperature dataset CRUTEM3 will be released today, apart from data from 19 stations in Poland.”

    This is not fair! It’s inevitable that they’ve gotten something right.

    Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

  3. DirkH says:

    This is not fair! They get most of the past right when you tweak the historical aerosol concentrations and the according forcing just right! It’s only the future where they fail!

  4. Latitude says:

    The climate computer games only got one thing right…..
    Temperatures went up just a tad from the LIA

  5. Gator says:

    (Sigh) Your observations are obviously incorrect.

  6. Don E says:

    There is a new forest fire forecast in today’s SF Chronicle. Someone should look at the numbers.

  7. Jon P says:

    An umpire relying on models to make the “right” call.

    Is that Michael Mann behind that mask?

  8. Jon P says:

    Sorry link above is “all busted up”.

    Try this one.

    “Dirk: Read the article. The “Jones” in question is Jonathan Jones, from Oxford.”

    The Brits should append a number to all the Joneses. My mistake; i should really try to read articles by Richard Black, but i fear irreversible brain damage. 😉

    • Grumpy Grampy ;) says:

      You are probably correct on the RB read! Peer reviewed research points to a probable 90+% chance of permanent irreversible damage due to reading what Chicken Littles produce . 😉

  10. ome of CRU’s critics do not endorse global warming – others want scientific practice to change

    Black would have been crucified for such a sentence, before Climategate…

  11. J Calvert N says:

    I’m sceptical – it’s Richard Black after all. There’s probably a half-truth hidden in there somewhere!

  12. Grumpy Grampy ;) says:

    As for climate models, the best output is not better than the worst input! GIGO Rules!
