IPCC admits that climate models fail (Professor Stein Storli Bergmark, physicist)
IPCC admits himself that climate models fail...climate change by consensus...
Clouds and Climate Professor Henrik Svensmark:
Svensmark: The Cloud Mystery
The IPCC concluded even as early as 2001 that their research and climate modeling can not be used for long-term predictions of the future climate. For the Panel's Third Assessment Report, paragraph 14.2.2.2 page 774 it says in my translation: "In research and modeling of the climate, we should be aware that we are dealing with a chaotic, nonlinear coupled system, and that long-term predictions of future climate states is not possible. " This I have already mentioned above.
This little known and surprising fact alone disqualifies large parts of the IPCC's work as a basis for practical climate policy.
Then we have the IPCC Synthesis Report from 3 November 2014. It demonstrates IPCC yourself how badly climate models have been with regard to predicting thermal break we've had since 1998. The panel said in the report page 41, in my translation. "For the period from 1998 to 2012, shows 111 of 114 available model simulations of the climate warming trend that is greater than the observations." In plain language this means that the IPCC first tells us that 97% of climate models provide for high temperatures, and that they then want us to continue to have confidence in their model-based scenarios. This should our politicians, editors and climate journalists noting.
The theory of human CO2 emissions as the main driver behind climate change is in fact falsified. Climate models' temperaturprojeksjoner fails rough, and can not be used to develop policy.
1. CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
2. Anthropogenic emissions of CO2 leads to a slight increase of atmosphere temperature.
3. In the years after the last ice age about 11,500 years ago, and in the last 2000 years until the end of the Little Ice Age in the late 1800s has been very significant climate changes that have been driven and guided by natural variation.
4. From the end of the Little Ice Age around 1890 and until today the climate has also changed.
An overwhelming historical climate reality forms the background for "climate realists" vision. Figure 1 shows reconstructions of temperature from isborekjerner Greenland and CO2 content in the atmosphere of Antarctica. The time period extends from the end of the last ice age until about 1950. We see that the temperature has fluctuated violently, that we have four warm periods marked in green, which the far right is the medieval warm period. We also see that we are actually the last 3500 years is a period of a falling trend.
Furthermore, we see that there is any correlation between temperature and CO2. Thus, there is nothing to suggest that CO2 affects temperature.

Your post is rubbish.
The IPCC predictions have been discussed several times on this forum, and have proven to be pretty good.
https://www.skepticalscience.com/cosmic-rays-and-global-warming-advanced.htm
"The galactic cosmic ray (GCR) warming hypothesis is based on the premise that GCRs can "seed" clouds, and clouds reflect sunilight. So if there are fewer GCRs reaching Earth (because a strong solar magnetic field is deflecting them away), the hypothesis says there will be fewer clouds, more sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, and thus more global warming.
So more solar activity means a stronger solar magnetic field, which means fewer GCRs reaching Earth, which hypothetically means fewer clouds and more warming.
The body of scientific research has determined that GCRs are actually not very effective at seeding clouds. However, the hypothesis is also disproven just by examining the data. Over the past five decades, the number of GCRs reaching Earth has increased, and in recent years reached record high numbers. This means that if the GCR-warming hypothesis is correct, this increase in GCRs should actually be causing global cooling over the past five decades, and particularly cold temperatures in recent years.
On the contrary, while GCRs are up, global temperatures are also way up, and temperatures in recent years reached record highs."
Yes we have had significant temperature swings over the millennia related to natural variation. But the recent CO2 rise due to man's endeavors correlate directly with the temp rise.

Mark Twain has a great quote ... 'It ain't what you don't know that gets you into the most trouble ... it's what you know for sure to be true that just ain't so'
There are not very many downsides to switching over to renewables like solar.
For sure, the most reasonable conclusion based on the evidence is that fossil fuels are bad ... thus Occam's razor.
A willingness to consider alternate paradigms is difficult for everyone .. but key to advancing science.
I want an electric car.
- Because it is cheaper to run than a gas car.
- Because i don't have to open my garage door in -20c weather to run a my car in order for it to heat up.
- So I don't have to go to a gas station, especially in -20c weather.
- I don't have to go to a dealership to buy it
- I can take it in once a year for service instead of every 3 months.
I want to put solar on my house.
- because it makes my monthly electricity bill cheaper.
- because it will pay for itself in the long run.
- Because i will have an electric car.
- because it will make my house worth more money if i want to sell it.
I want a Tesla PowerWall.
- Because i want the lights to stay on if the power goes out.
- Because i want to store the energy from my solar panels, Instead of selling it to the power company.
Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal have a fundamental advantage over any other method of producing energy (including Nuclear) The fuel costs nothing.
One day my home will run on its own with no power from the outside world and it will not cost me a dime. The price of all the hardware will be part of the purchase price of the home, just like windows, garages, and every other convenience item that have been added to the family home over the last couple of hundred years.
You don't need to believe in Climate change, the money will speak for itself.
Therefore the motto "Follow The Money"
@0. So time to stop BS posts that contain inaccurate science. Glad you are a Tesla supporter for whatever reason. But let's not pretend that climate science is wrong.
If you think your going to change Zero's mind, or if you think he will stop posting contradictory articles your sadly mistaken.
The point of my post is that things will change regardless of peoples doubts on climate change. The only thing Incentives and Penalties will do is speed up the inevitable. it might take 10 years for the balance to tip but when it does there will be no turning back and there is nothing Zero can post that will change it.

@dchuck. I agree he will likely continue posting. Habitual deniers are pretty persistent. They main purpose to address them directly and point out their false statements is for those bystanders who are trying to learn. Also it does no harm to reinforce our own understanding of the topic.
The great thing about where Tesla (and renewables in general) is taking us is that it soon won't matter. Even the people with no skin in the game (in their minds) will value the economics, stability in case of natural disasters in regards to power consumption, and flexibility that the renewable energy generation will bring. (At a smaller cost than fossil fuels, soon enough. In fact, a reality already in parts of our world)
