Mark my words,
this new system for climate modeling devised by two scientists from the University of Washington will be the new standard in measuring the impact of CO2 and other greenhouse gases on our planet.
This sentence about explains it all:
While the new equation will help scientists quickly see the most likely impacts, it also shows that far more extreme temperature changes -- perhaps 15 degrees or more in the global mean -- are possible, though not probable.
Here is how it works:
In political polling, as the same questions are asked of more and more people the uncertainty, expressed as margin of error, declines substantially and the poll becomes a clearer snapshot of public opinion at that time. But it turns out that with climate, additional research does not substantially reduce the uncertainty.
The equation devised by Roe and Baker helps modelers understand built-in uncertainties so that the researchers can get meaningful results after running a climate model just a few times, rather than having to run it several thousand times and adjust various climate factors each time.
Another words, make it easier to run the models and get more frightening results. That's just what the IPCC and other man-made global warming activists were looking for! Better and faster!
