“Such decadal forecasts, while still subject to large uncertainties, have emerged as a new area…” In other words, they still haven’t a clue.
Oh this is hilarious. In a “Back To The Future” sort of moment, this press release from the National Center for Atmospheric Research claims they could have forecast “the pause”, if only they had the right tools back then.
Yes, having tools of the future would have made a big difference in these inconvenient moments of history:
“We could have forecast the Challenger Explosion if only we knew O-rings became brittle and shrank in the cold, and we had Richard Feynman working for us to warn us.”
“We could have learned the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor if only we had the electronic wiretapping intelligence gathering capability the NSA has today.”
“We could have predicted the Tacoma Narrows Bridge would collapse back then if only we had the sophisticated computer models of today to model wind loading.”
Yes, saying that having the tools of the future back then…

Hi Lonnie….followed your link in WUWT to take a look. Amazing what passes for science today.
I took a summer course in”atmospheric science” this summer. Despite 100% on all quizzes and exams! I was given a D because of “a lack of scientific competence” this after thirty years of teaching science, with a BA in physics, and a BA in geology. The problem was I didn’t agree with the thirty something instructor that we were all going to die of GW.
I guess he didn’t like it when I answered test questions with ” the answer you want is ……, the more accurate answer is ……”
Appealed the grade. I got an A, he got a reprimand .
I’ll keep popping in to read this site……love the name
