Turn’s out what NASA predicted in the 70’s around climate was as accurate then, as it is now.
There’s an old saying that “the proof is in the pudding,” meaning that you can only truly gauge the quality of something once it’s been put to a test.
Such is the case with climate models: mathematical computer simulations of the various factors that interact to affect Earth’s climate, such as our atmosphere, ocean, ice, land surface and the Sun.
For decades, people have legitimately wondered how well climate models perform in predicting future climate conditions.
Based on solid physics and the best understanding of the Earth system available, they skillfully reproduce observed data.
Nevertheless, they have a wide response to increasing carbon dioxide levels, and many uncertainties remain in the details.
The hallmark of good science, however, is the ability to make testable predictions, and climate models have been making predictions since the 1970s.
How reliable have they been? Now a new evaluation of global climate models used to project Earth’s future global average surface temperatures over the past half-century answers that question: most of the models have been quite accurate.
Climate change denial is dead save for among a few Fanatics, Contrarians, and Dullards.
Only a complete f***king idiot at this point is denying climate change.
