There is no golden path to discovery. One of my problems with all the focus on p-hacking, preregistration, harking, etc. is that I fear that it is giving the impression that all will be fine if researchers just avoid “questionable research practices.”

The rate of warming has increased notably over the past 15 years. This is not just natural variability – there is increasing evidence that the world is now warming faster than it has since 1970.

However, this should not come as a surprise; acceleration is exactly what our models…

Is there really a big disagreement among climate scientists about expected acceleration of climate changes (in the absence of large emission cuts)? Not so much!

Ken Rice Perhaps too many people still don‘t quite (want to) understand what a scientific consensus actually is and isn‘t? If that‘s the case, our article on Skeptical Science might help:

I did wonder if this comparison might come up. It's true that we shouldn't use paper counting as evidence for some hypothesis, but consensus studies in climate are motivated by claims that there isn't one, and are not intended, by themselves, to be evidence for AGW.

Despite recent extremes, global temperatures remain well within the range that climate models project.

But this tells us little about whether warming has or will accelerate, as climate models project a notably faster rate of warming in the future than we have seen since 1970:

A year ago today the IPCC published its Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023.

Here's my 4th & final   explaining — at a super high level — what the olympics of climate science had to say.
