More Global Warming Mistakes

Climate scientists withdraw journal claims of rising sea levels

Another day, another global warming fallacy exposed

"From the Guardian in England: “Scientists have been forced to withdraw a study on projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding mistakes that undermined the findings.”

The newspaper cited the Nature Geoscience publication, which published a retraction on its prediction that the seas would rise a whopping 89 centimeters (a little over 2 feet) by 2100."

"Nature Geoscience said in its retraction: “First, we tested the sensitivity of our results to the length of the time step used in the integration of the model for the period of deglaciation, which we found to be robust. However, we overlooked that the simulations of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are sensitive to this time step, which led to an overestimation of the sea-level response to warming in the simulations for these centuries.

“Second, we did not include the effect of the uncertainty in the temperature reconstructions since the Medieval Climate Anomaly in our uncertainty estimates for the twenty-first-century projections. This led to an inconsistency between the twentieth-century simulation used to test the predictive capability of the model and the twenty-first-century simulation, owing to a provisional allowance for warming since the Little Ice Age in the twentieth-century simulations.”"
