Even 50-year-old climate models correctly predicted global warming
Where is the story hère though? So they looked retroactively and found some models in the past that fitted with current observations even though they had no clue that China would become such a powerful force in terms of CO2 emissions?<p>If you run random models and wait long enough you will always be able to find at least one model that predicted the current observations. That does NOT mean the models were right, it means that you are basically ignoring all the other models that made bad predictions. So in order to make a headline out of this you would need to make a extensive review of all the models we had back then and found out HOW MANY were actually not bad.<p>Would not make that much of a headline because you would find most models were bad. Anyone involved with forecasting will know what I mean.
