Frankfooter's posts from 2015 show the IPCC's predictions of global warming were spectacularly wrong

Actually, you're the one who's cherry picking, using the 2000 La Nina weather phenomenon as a starting point and ending the calculation in 2020 when we're now in February 2022.

I chose 2001 as a starting point because it came after both the El Nino and La Nina weather phenomena at the turn of the century. It's called intellectual honesty.
You chose 2001 because you are using dishonest cherry picking.

Why are you even debating this now?
You've already admitted that the planet is warming just as much as the IPCC projected.
Are you now calling yourself a liar?


Yes, the planet has experienced some warming over the past 350 years.

The Met Office numbers on your graph confirm what I said yesterday -- a temperature increase of about 1ºC over 135 years.

Here's another calculation that avoids El Nino and La Nina.

If you go back 25 years, the NASA graph shows a temperature increase from 0.33ºC in 1996 to 0.83ºC at the end of 2021, an increase of 0.2ºC per decade.

That's only half of the 0.4ºC "median" prediction and only one-third of the predicted 0.6ºC that was to come from the now-realized increase in fossil fuels.

It's also only half of the 0.4ºC per decade prediction that Frankfooter said in 2015 "look accurate."

Hogwash.

I was completely transparent: I chose 2001 to avoid having the calculations distorted by El Nino and La Nina.

If you prefer the 25-year record that shows warming of 0.2ºC per decade, that's fine with me. It still shows the IPCC's predictions have been spectacularly wrong.

In fact, it's only half of the predicted 1ºC per 25 years that you said in 2015 "look accurate:" https://terb.cc/xenforo/threads/cli...on-a-warmer-planet.543407/page-2#post-5394609

You keep posting this bullshit claim (in various threads) that I've said the IPCC projections were correct - and then you question why I'm debating it.

You've answered your own question.

I'm debating it to reaffirm what I have actually said - and what I've always said: that the IPCC's predictions continue to be spectacularly wrong.

And for added fun, your assertion that the IPCC was correct about a 4ºC temperature increase this century is also wrong based on the observed data to date.

This was Movie-fan's take in 2015:



Promo pretty much said it better than I could but you don't seem to understand that ideologically driven data and opinions seem to dominate the climate change discussion rather than facts. The looney left has 97 percent of the world's scientists on their side and these ones don't work for big oil.
Actually, the propaganda claim is that 97 per cent of climate scientists support the hypothesis of man-made global warming, and it's B.S.

For example, a recent survey of the members of the American Meteorological Society only found 52 per cent support for the hypothesis that man-made emissions are the primary driver of warming:

http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/BAMS-D-13-00091.1

twizz said:
According to NASA's website, 10 of the warmest years were within the last 12

http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
As the original post noted, the satellite data show there hasn't been any warming for more than 18 years.

In fact, since 1850, there have been three similar warming periods that cover 20-year periods. They occurred from about 1860 to 1880, from about 1918 to 1937, and from the late 1970s to the late 1990s.

It is only in the third period, from the late 1970s to the late 1990s, where there is a correlation between man-made CO2 emissions and the warming of the planet. In the earlier periods, the warming couldn't possibly be attributed to heavy burning of fossil fuels. While there was a correlation from the late 1970s to the late 1990s, correlation doesn't prove causation.

Furthermore, the predictions of skyrocketing temperatures in the early 21st century that were based on that 20-year period of correlation proved to be completely wrong.

The research that was the basis for those predictions -- particularly the notorious "hockey stick" graph -- has been discredited by the observed data and by other research, and the "hockey stick" conclusion that the Medieval Warm Period wasn't global is equally shaky. As leading climate researcher Phil Jones admitted in an interview with the BBC, if the Medieval Warm Period was global, "then obviously the late-20th century warmth would not be unprecedented."

So no warming for more than 18 Years??

Denying it than according to "Satellite" data"? Which satellite data??

I honestly believe Franky believes anything he posts, as long as it aligns with his opinions...e.g. he believes Israel is an Apartheid state because some social media columnists he aligns with says so...

Cherry picking dates because those are the only ones that give you those numbers?

Is that all you've got?
So lame.

You cherry picked those numbers because if you use any others your argument is bullshit.
Pick 1999 and its 0.3ºC a decade
Pick 2000 and its the same.

Its really lame all this cherry picking.

You better take it up with Amnesty International and those Israeli politicians that agree with Him:
Amnesty says Israel is an apartheid state. Many Israeli politicians agree.


But are You in denial with respect to Climate Change and well as the Predictions that were in line to what he stated?

No. Climate Change is happening....just not as exaggerated as you want it to be...

So the projection was made in 2015 and a little more than 6 years ago… and you claim it is nearly a quater century.

I’m not sure what the correct answer on this but just not sure how can you look at a projection in 2015, and then include data from 15 years earlier to analyze how they are doing on that. You would need to look at 2015 to 2021.

You caught me, really that's my full time gig.
They pay me to post here, mostly, of course.
You should check the reviews I do for them....

There are lots of models out.
You can start with Exxon's predictions in the 1980's, which are pretty close to what we're seeing now.
James Hansen did a back of the envelope calc around then that stands up.
Most of the modelling is now over 20 years old, so you can go back and check to see how they've held up and as moviefan noted, they've been quite accurate.

1999: 0.38ºC
2021: 0.85ºC


According to Frankfooter, a difference of 0.47ºC over 22 years is "0.3ºC a decade."

?????

In fact, the actual per-decade amount using 1999 as the starting point is only about one-third of the IPCC's predicted 0.6ºC per decade increase due to record levels of emissions.


Indeed, it's not even close to the 0.4ºC prediction that was based on emissions well below the current levels.

The spectacularly wrong predictions were made in 2001.


It was in 2015 that Frankfooter attempted to defend the spectacularly wrong predictions.

Who is exaggerating it, when one is going by the real stats? It has been posted several times. We know that once upon a time according to those on the right, there was "No global warming", and it was going to be only a "Cycle". But then it all changed when the facts were out and now it is changed to just a "minor" warm up and nothing to do with Human involvement, but just "Nature". Hilarious!!

But You were the one that stated that there was "No Warming" for more than 18 Years according to the Moviefan Satellite.
Does that satellite need to be recalibrated?
