About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

It doesn't matter how powerful the computer is. If the model incorporates faulty assumptions, the output will be garbage. The best IPCC models fail to properly account for soot, cloud effects, ocean multi-decade oscillations, solar variations, water vapour feedbacks, and much more.
It is not so difficult to call IPCC GCM output garbage when one looks at recent Argo ocean heat output that shows earth cooling (not warming) and a significant divergence of temperature trends from IPCC trend lines.
It is a big problem.
