Heartburn Institute Spreading Climate Change Doubt

Based on a recent interview given by Hans von Storch.

von Storch is answering questions very straightforwardly.

But the Heartburn Institute's anti-science bullshit propaganda generator, James Taylor cherry picks the aspects of the interview which suit his agenda.


And he doesn't even interpret that correctly.

For example, von Storch says, "At my institute, we analyzed how often such a 15-year stagnation in global warming occurred in the simulations. The answer was: in under 2 percent of all the times we ran the simulation. In other words, over 98 percent of forecasts show CO2 emissions as high as we have had in recent years leading to more of a temperature increase.'

But notice how Taylor has subtitlted that paragraph: "98 Percent of Models Wrong".

No, at one institute running a particular model with varying parameters, that model got it wrong 98% of the time.  

Global temperature increase is one metric associated with global warming.

Here's more.
