No, according to the charts in this article they are really very accurate.

Why can't you read a chart?
This is hilarious -- it takes me back to some of Lovehobby's old posts, where he would provide links to articles he clearly hadn't read.
The solid black line in the graph is the CMIP5 average. The updated temperature anomalies are nowhere near that solid black line. In fact, there's been a clear divide between the CMIP5 average and the actual temperatures going back to 1999.

The graph confirms exactly what I've been saying and the same thing as the graphs that I provided. Even when it's updated to include data from this El Nino year, the temperature anomalies in the Gavin Schmidt graph are nowhere near what was predicted.
The predictions have been spectacularly wrong -- Frankfooter's own source confirms it. :thumb:
(By the way, has anyone besides me ever noticed that whenever the AGW crowd wants to make it look like the temperature anomalies aren't too far removed from the predictions, the horizontal axis is suddenly lengthened and the vertical axis is reduced. Frankfooter's latest graph by Gavin Schmidt shows a horizontal axis dating back to 1950 that is longer than the usual NASA-produced graph dating back to 1880.)
Make up your minds.
The HadCRUT temperature anomaly for 2015 (to the end of July) was either 0.68 degrees C. or 0.809 degrees C.
We need the two of you to reach a "consensus" on the answer. We'll then determine whether or not you know what you're talking about.
