In 1994 he compared model results to observed temperatures and found that the predicted temperatures for 1950 – 1980 deviated from the temperatures that had actually occurred, from which he concluded in his regular column in The Washington Times — with the headline that day " Climate Claims Wither under the Luminous Lights of Science "— that climate models are faulty.

In 2007 he collaborated on a study that found tropospheric temperature trends of " Climate of the 20th Century " models differed from satellite observations by twice the model mean uncertainty.

According to the latest Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, " most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations ".

The group formed in response to several reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ).

Total Solar Irradiance upon Earth ( TSI ) was earlier measured by satellite to be roughly 1. 366 kilowatts per square meter ( kW / m² ), but most recently NASA cites TSI as " 1361 W / m² as compared to ~ 1366 W / m² from earlier observations et al., 2005 ", based on regular readings from NASA's Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment ( SORCE ) satellite, active since 2003, noting that this " discovery is critical in examining the energy budget of the planet Earth and isolating the climate change due to human activities.

The Medieval Warm Period ( MWP ), Medieval Climate Optimum, or Medieval Climatic Anomaly was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region, that may also have been related to other climate events around the world during that time, including in China, and other countries lasting from about AD 950 to 1250.

Climate is influenced by the temperatures of the surface waters and water currents as well as winds.

Climate change is thought to have led to the emigration of Chacoans and the eventual abandonment of the canyon, beginning with a 50-year drought in 1130.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) has concluded that " of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.

Climate can be contrasted to weather, which is the present condition of these elements and their variations over shorter periods.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) glossary definition is:

The difference between climate and weather is usefully summarized by the popular phrase " Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get.

Climate change is the variation in global or regional climates over time.

In some cases, the term is also used with a presumption of human causation, as in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ).

Climate forecasting is a way by some scientists are using to predict climate change.
