Global warming predictions have been hotly debated.
What was behind the unscientific New York Times review of the “impeccable” findings of Dr. Soon?
How accurately do climate models measure trends in global temperature?
Step One: Compare predictive accuracy of simulated versus observed temperature trends, using 114 fifteen-year periods (1900-2012).
Step Two: Compare simulation sensitivity and assumptions to random climate fluctuations, as influencers of climate study outcome.
The scientists felt random variation explained discrepancies in climate patterns.

Assuming there is global warming, what is its cause?
Is solar activity more determinative of climate change than man-made “greenhouse” gases?

The 21st Century slow-down of climate warming appears related to the Maunder Minimum (low sunspot activity).

Human pollution may make earth’s natural “greenhouse” too warm.
Global warming impacts the ocean with not only a rise in temperature, but also with acidification.
