Andrew Dessler @AndrewDessler Prof of Atmospheric Sciences & climate scientist @ Texas A&M; AGU and AAAS Fellow has been prognosticating on Twitter, talking up a model that predicts another 2C of warming by 2100 (0.25C/decade, twice the rate 2013-2023).
When challenged about this alarming rate of warming, he clarified for us.
Of course, if the central estimate is warming of 0.25C/decade, but cooling is instead a possibility, this means that the upper bound for warming is at least 0.5C/decade. I think this tells us all we need to know about the usefulness of climate models (and the sanity of the modellers).
I asked a question, no reply yet.
Why is the possible range not shown on the graph Andrew?
