Over the past fifty years, the planet has warmed by about 0.25 degrees Celsius. That’s a fact.

But we’ve learned something else.  Temperature models that drive climate change policy have been consistently wrong in predicting the extent of warming. The chart below from the Heritage Foundation shows the models, on average, have overestimated warming by more than double.

That’s excusable. Predicting the future – especially the weather – is hard. But what is suspicious is that EVERY major model that is cited on the front pages of the newspapers with hysterical headlines that the planet is overheating got it wrong in the same direction.

These aren’t random errors. Either the modelers are incompetent, or they are intentionally lying to us. We’re not sure which is worse
