Global warming ‘pause’ could have been predicted — But wasn’t! Scientists invent time-travelling models that ‘might have worked’
Research shows surprise global warming ‘hiatus’ could have been forecast: [The Guardian] Australian and US climate experts say with new ocean-based modelling tools, the early 2000s warming slowdown was foreseeable. Australian and US researchers have shown that the slowdown in the rate of global warming in the early 2000s, known as a so-called “global warming hiatus”, could have been predicted if today’s tools for decade-by-decade climate forecasting had been available in the 1990s.
