NOTES ON GRAPHS
If you use one of my graphs or other illustrations, please provide a link to the post where it was found.
Also, please advise me via a comment if an illustration does not appear in a post. The image hosting site loses them occasionally. I have the illustrations on file and should be able to replace/repair them. Thanks.

ON THE IPCC’s UNDUE CONFIDENCE IN COUPLED OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE CLIMATE MODELS – A SUMMARY OF RECENT POSTS
OVERVIEW This post is a summary of the series of our recent posts that compared observed Surface Temperature data to the simulations of the coupled ocean-atmosphere climate models used by the IPCC in their 4thAssessment Report (AR4). The IPCC’s response … Continue reading

CMIP3 Models Versus 20th Century Land Surface Temperature Anomalies
I was writing the summary post for my recent series that compare observed Global Surface Temperatures to the IPCC and CMIP3 Climate Model outputs when I realized I had not presented Land Surface Temperature Anomaly comparisons. COMPARISONS This post illustrates … Continue reading

IPCC Models Versus Sea Surface Temperature Observations During The Recent Warming Period
OVERVIEW This post compares satellite-based Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies to the hindcasts and projections of the multi-model mean of CMIP3 models. CMIP3 is the archive the IPCC used as the source of their models for AR4. The period being … Continue reading

Mid-December 2011 SST Anomaly Update
NINO3.4 NINO3.4 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies (a commonly used El Niño-Southern Oscillation Index) are varying near the threshold of a moderate La Niña. They’ve been bouncing back and forth across -1.0 for a few weeks. For the week centered … Continue reading

The IPCC AR4 Models Of 20th Century Surface Temperatures With And Without Anthropogenic Forcings
This is a quick post. It reinforces one of the points made repeatedly in recent comparisons of the observed rise in Global Surface Temperatures during the 20thCentury and of those hindcast by the Multi-Model Mean of the models used by … Continue reading

It Really Should Go Without Saying, BUT…
OVERVIEW In a good number of posts over the past few months, we have discussed and illustrated how poorly the coupled ocean-atmosphere climate models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in their 4th Assessment Report (AR4) simulate … Continue reading

Part 2 – Do Observations and Climate Models Confirm Or Contradict The Hypothesis of Anthropogenic Global Warming?
OVERVIEW This is the second part of a two-part series. There are, however, two versions of part 1. The first part was originally published as On the SkepticalScience Post “Pielke Sr. Misinforms High School Students”, which was, obviously, a response to … Continue reading
