Nice article on the pioneering Manabe work that led to the first conceptually correct modeling (namely, a radiative convective equilibrium with fixed relative humidity) and then later developments, particularly using a dynamic ocean. Also see Nadir's in depth paper.

In case it needs to be said, the DOE report is not simply another point of view or a highlight of subtle points overlooked by others. It’s not even a dismissal of an “existential crisis” (whatever that means) for the U.S., and I suspect the vast number of “mainstream” scientists.
Okay. Overall, the U.S. Department of Energy's Climate Working Group report does not stand sharply at odds with the findings of IPCC AR6 WG1. Both reports fundamentally agree that:. 1⃣ The Earth has gotten warmer over the last century and a half by ~1.2°C or so. 2⃣ The carbon.

The entire red team is an exercise in scientific fraud and malpractice, and people with no interest in actual scientific engagement. They know this too, but shame knows no bounds. The standards will always be asymmetric, the obfuscation will always substitute for insight. The.

We are shocked that the working-backwards-to-arrive-at-preconceived-conclusions “red team” will not find much substantive to engage with. This was not predictable at all.
Very good post from @curryja on responses to the DOE CWG report.

The blue team response shows that there isn’t really a red team, it’s just propaganda-by-design.
Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

Huh?.
Just about every young Earth or climate “scientist” believes that the planet is this fragile object that was in harmonic balance before humans came along and messed it all up. This isn’t a scientific view, it is a political worldview that these people adopted by their.

This graph is maybe the most frequently shared one by Chris, but it’s a different metric than in WaPo, and also almost certainly wrong. I am not sure how it was made, as daily data requires a lot of bias adjustments for known issues. USHCN data would need these things removed, as.
Climate change isn't a hoax. But it isn't a crisis either, Senator. Although average temperatures have gone up in the United States (mostly due to rising overnight lows, largely a byproduct of urbanization), high temperature extremes, which is the focus of the Washington Post

Destroying any flag should be well within the bounds of free speech. The only people who want to criminalize this stuff are authoritarian nutjobs and fake patriots.
Yes, make it a crime to burn the American flag. Desecration of the gay pride flag is already prosecuted as a hate crime in this country. No more double standards. If the sacred symbol of the LGBT cult is protected, American flags should be too. Simple as that.

Yes, climate change is very detectable in fire risk.
Yesterday, Governor @GavinNewsom blamed climate change for the increased fire risk in California in recent decades. But, the facts don’t quite square with his claims, which is a gross oversimplification of what’s really going on.

Roger is actually right here, and this section of the article reads like a passionate undergraduate wrote it.
There are lots of legitimate criticisms of Trump admin’s “gold standard science”. But “RCP8.5 is actually BAU” is not among them
