Per Climate Models, The Observations Must Be Wrong

A pithy post by Dr. Roy Spencer 95% of Climate Models Agree: The Observations Must be Wrong I’m seeing a lot of wrangling over the recent (15+ year) pause in global average warming…when did it start, is it a full pause, shouldn’t we be taking the longer view, etc. These are all interesting exercises, but […]
