: Ten years later what has changed? Three decades ago climate models predicted that global mean surface temperatures would increase by about 0.3 degrees C a decade. Have those models been junked as useless (which they are)? Not at all. Recently the perpetrators of them got Nobel prizes. In that case did temperatures go up by 0.3 degrees in the decade since James Lovelock made his observation?

| October 6, 2021 | Syukuro Manabe, 90, of Princeton University, and Klaus Hasselmann, 89, of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany get half a Nobel between them. It should have been an Ig Nobel awards. |
| October 6, 2021 | These climate models led to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicting in 1992 (Climate Change: The IPCC 1990 and 1992 Assessments) that global temperatures would increase by 0.3°C a decade. That was 30 years ago (three decades) so if the models were correct we should have had about an extra degree of warming since then. |
| August 27, 2021 | IPCC issues graphs showing temperatures and CO2 increases in lock step Yet atmospheric CO2 has increased by 15% since the 1980s. In the early 1990s IPCC was saying there had already been 1°C warming. |
