Study: Climate Models Overestimated Global Warming For The Last 55 Years
http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/25/study-climate-models-overestimated-global-warming-for-the-last-55-years/ The paper, which was published in the journal Environmetrics, found that observed temperatures differed greatly from modeled temperatures in the tropical lower troposphere and mid-troposphere. “Over the 55-years from 1958 to 2012, climate models not only significantly over-predict observed warming in the tropical troposphere, but they represent it in a fundamentally different way than […]
