Climate Scientists Get Another One Wrong: Climate models underestimate cooling effect of daily cloud cycle

in #environment7 years ago

Princeton University researchers have found that the climate models scientists use to project future conditions on our planet underestimate the cooling effect that clouds have on a daily -- and even hourly -- basis, particularly over land.

The researchers report in the journal Nature Communications Dec. 22 that models tend to factor in too much of the sun's daily heat, which results in warmer, drier conditions than might actually occur. The researchers found that inaccuracies in accounting for the diurnal, or daily, cloud cycle did not seem to invalidate climate projections, but they did increase the margin of error for a crucial tool scientists use to understand how climate change will affect us.

Porporato and first author Jun Yin, a postdoctoral research associate in civil and environmental engineering, found that not accurately capturing the daily cloud cycle has the sun bombarding Earth with an extra 1-2 watts of energy per square meter. The increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Age is estimated to produce an extra 3.7 watts of energy per square meter. "The error here is half of that, so in that sense it becomes substantial," Porporato said.

Remember the climate gate emails when one of the top scientists said "hide the decline" when temperature reading weren't showing them what the wanted to see. Then NASA was caught over estimating global temperatures and the UK weather office had to come out and say looked at the same data and got much cooler readings.

Now we have this case of scientist fucking up the data. At what point do we say these people are clueless? If they were car mechanics working on your you would of already sued them because they would say they fixed your car and replaced a bunch of parts but in reality they just patched up the broken parts hoping you wouldn't notice.

This is a huge error too, possible 50% extra energy in these climate models. Are we even warming at all? Who knows but I do know that Climate change is no where near where it needs to be to be called scientific fact. The data is changing all the time and models are always wrong so at best it's just a theory. A really shitty theory right now.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I used to be an environmental warrior before I realized that pretty much everything else was a lie. I dont know what to think about climate change any more but I do know we have bigger fish to fry I.e. Mind Control and Central Banking

Wakeupnd, I am always happy to see more science exposing the sham that is global warming. Thanks for the contribution!

Yesterday I saw in my new feed some talking heads trying to upsell flu shots (even though they seem to be particularly ineffective this year.) And today the feed had an article where the talking heads where saying how unprepared they are for a global pandemic! People need to realize that they 'experts' are moving in the wrong direction :)

Funny how that works. Almost like they are leading the sheep to slaughter.

al gore is nothing more than a puppet that needs to be put in prison where he can preach his shithole scam.

There's an ice age on the way. For three years running, it has snowed in the Sahara Desert.

I have heard both sides, and I think that the earth is changing...I am not 100% sure what thoes changes will look like. What do you think?

That's what the UN was predicting in the 1970.

Where did the graph come from, i couldn't find it in the source you gave yet?

Informational blog. Thank you for sharing this information with us. There was nothing known.

thank you for this scientific article
