Understanding The Seven Major Errors In Climate Models
by Roy Clark, guest post Aug 22, 2024
There are at least seven major mistakes found in climate models. Five of them come from oversimplified ideas about how energy moves. Another one involves errors that build up when solving complex equations about how air and water behave.
The last mistake is assuming that the global average temperature is a good measure of climate change.
I detail these errors in my paper “A Nobel Prize for Climate Modeling Errors”, Science of Climate Change 4(1) pp. 1-73 (2024). References to specific sections of this paper, identified as C24, are provided in the discussion.
The first three errors in simplifying energy transfer come from the 1967 paper by Manabe and Wetherald, titled “Thermal equilibrium of the atmosphere with a given distribution of relative humidity” [MW67].
