When It Comes to Global Warming, Scientist's Best Predictions May Be Wrong

As we reconfigure energy strategies and the global economy around a climate future defined by carbon emissions, a new study, which appears in Nature Geoscience, found that climate models explain only about half of the heating that occurred during a well-documented period of rapid global warming in Earth’s ancient past.

“In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record,” said oceanographer Gerald Dickens, a co-author of the study and professor of Earth science at Rice University. “There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models.” via Science Daily.
