YouTube video falsely claims that climate models systematically over-estimated warming and that we are heading towards an ice age
Claim:
"The official observed temperatures are coming consistently below the scary global warming numbers"; "Melting polar ice triggers ice age"
Article in The Guardian misleads readers about sensitivity of climate models by narrowly focusing on single study
“The article correctly reports that the most recent versions of some climate models estimate more warming for a given increase in CO2 concentrations. It is also correct in highlighting that how clouds are represented in these models is the likely reason for these higher estimates. However, it does not report all the science available on this topic and its claims are thus misleading.”
Caleb Rossiter falsely claims that climate models are "running very hot"
Claim:
The models predicted about three times the amount of warming in the world we’ve seen since [1988].
On BBC Newsnight, Myron Ebell falsely claims climate models exaggerate warming
Claim:
The rate of warming according to the data is much slower than the models used by the IPCC
Financial Post commentary misleads about warming effect of greenhouse gas emissions by cherry-picking studies
“This article selectively cherry-picks studies showing low climate sensitivity, leaving out whole lines of evidence (e.g. paleoclimate studies) that agree with the sensitivity estimates found in models. It also glosses over the many criticisms of instrumentally based (or “energy balance”) sensitivity estimates published in recent years.”
Prof. John Christy incorrectly claims to show climate models are too sensitive to carbon dioxide
Claim:
the real atmosphere is less sensitive to CO2 than what has been forecast by climate models
Daily Wire article incorrectly claims climate models have overestimated warming
Claim:
climate models have overestimated the amount of global warming and failed to predict what climatologists call the warming ‘hiatus’
Heartland Institute report’s claim that climate models are too sensitive to CO2 does not reflect evidence
Claim:
[climate models] systematically over-estimate the sensitivity of climate to carbon dioxide ... and modelers exclude forcings and feedbacks that run counter to their mission
