Global warming predictions overestimated

by Scott Gilbreath ~ November 26th, 2008

Empirical observations throw doubt on the accuracy of climate models.

A detailed analysis of black carbon — the residue of burned organic matter — in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions.
[…]
As a result of global warming, soils are expected to release more carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, which, in turn, creates more warming. Climate models try to incorporate these increases of carbon dioxide from soils as the planet warms, but results vary greatly when realistic estimates of black carbon in soils are included in the predictions, the study found.

Using “realistic estimates” often causes problems for computer models of global warming.

    “Using “realistic estimates” often causes problems for computer models of global warming.”

    Yes, it would have the models make more realistic projections; and, that would not support the “reality” of man made global warming.

    What the models currently do is verify the old adage, “Garbage in; garbage out.”
