With the new climate change, this can become a tropical Island.

There is no new climate change. The climate has been changing since the very beginning. Climate is never static, but always dynamic. It even changes from day to day, or haven't you noticed?

I have notice a early January blooming, here in Florida. That normally starts in March.

Weather goes in cycles over a period of years, or didn't you realize that?

You "noticed"? I wonder if the climate records ever "noticed" this before.

The phrase "climate change" only came about because they couldn't make a valid case for Global Warming.

The year 2021 is now expected to qualify among the hottest seven in history, all of them recorded since 2014, according to an early estimate by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization that was released Sunday.

One quarter of one degree C. Yup it's a veritable heat wave; we're all going to die!

Back when I was young, the fear tactics then were that we were on the verge of another ice age.

Where I live we are having several weeks of a cold snap and a bit of an ice storm the last few days. Where is all that global warming they promised us?

Yep...us as well, @Jerry. We were 76 degrees one day, and the next we were getting snow and ice that stuck. Yep...Global warming is so important...NOT! Don't know how seemingly intelligent individuals could look at all the evidence and be so stupid.

Obviously you have not researched the topic and seemingly know nothing about how climate warming models predict both hotter and colder temperatures. Try doing some research and eliminate your unconsciousness ignorance. There is no shame in being ignorant. There is shame in staying ignorant. 

The greatest form of ignorance is rejecting something you know nothing about.

 

Blessings.

Try avoiding presuppositions that make you look uninformed....I've done much research on weather, weather patterns, etc. I used to chase storms in Illinois, Wisconsin, and MN....You are consistantly making yourself look ridiculous. Your statement is like the pot calling the kettle black! Nice, try though, BB.

Study Confirms Climate Models are Getting Future Warming Projections Right

In a study accepted for publication in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, a research team led by Zeke Hausfather of the University of California, Berkeley, conducted a systematic evaluation of the performance of past climate models. The team compared 17 increasingly sophisticated model projections of global average temperature developed between 1970 and 2007, including some originally developed by NASA, with actual changes in global temperature observed through the end of 2017. The observational temperature data came from multiple sources, including NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP) time series, an estimate of global surface temperature change.

The results: 10 of the model projections closely matched observations. Moreover, after accounting for differences between modeled and actual changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other factors that drive climate, the number increased to 14. The authors found no evidence that the climate models evaluated either systematically overestimated or underestimated warming over the period of their projections.

“The results of this study of past climate models bolster scientists’ confidence that both they as well as today’s more advanced climate models are skillfully projecting global warming,” said study co-author Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies in New York. “This research could help resolve public confusion around the performance of past climate modeling efforts.”

Scientists use climate models to better understand how Earth’s climate changed in the past, how it is changing now and to predict future climate trends. Global temperature trends are among the most significant predictions, since global warming has widespread effects, is tied directly to international target agreements for mitigating future climate warming, and have the longest, most accurate observational records. Other climate variables are forecast in the newer, more complex models, and those predictions too will need to be assessed.

To successfully match new observational data, climate model projections have to encapsulate the physics of the climate and also make accurate predictions about future carbon dioxide emission levels and other factors that affect climate, such as solar variability, volcanoes, other human-produced and natural emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols. This study’s accounting for differences between the projected and actual emissions and other factors allowed a more focused evaluation of the models’ representation of Earth’s climate system.

Schmidt says climate models have come a long way from the simple energy balance and general circulation models of the 1960s and early ‘70s to today’s increasingly high-resolution and comprehensive general circulation models. “The fact that many of the older climate models we reviewed accurately projected subsequent global temperatures is particularly impressive given the limited observational evidence of warming that scientists had in the 1970s, when Earth had been cooling for a few decades,” he said.

The authors say that while the relative simplicity of the models analyzed makes their climate projections functionally obsolete, they can still be useful for verifying methods used to evaluate current state-of-the-art climate models, such as those to be used in the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report, to be released in 2022.

“As climate model projections have matured, more signals have emerged from the noise of natural variability that allow for retrospective evaluation of other aspects of climate models — for instance, in Arctic sea ice and ocean heat content,” Schmidt said. “But it’s the temperature trends that people still tend to focus on.”

Other participating institutions included the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Razor, Bill...or whatever you're calling yourself these days...there hasn't been significant enough of a change in temperature for anything to be classified as "global warming." You can keep posting "science" pieces...but you'll probably find that few will agree with you. Though interesting at times, they're all conjecture, and USUALLY incorrect. Sad, really.
