The IPCC climate models have repeatedly shown lack of skill in reproducing observed global and regional features of Earth’s climate for the past 4 decades. These include inability to predict global patterns of warming since 1980. Thus, the IPCC models project higher rates of warming in the tropics than at the Poles and similar warming over the Arctic and Antarctica. However, satellite observations show the highest rate of warming in the Arctic region and almost no warming over Antarctica during the past 4 decades with the tropics only exhibiting a modest warming. The models also failed to predict the “warming pause” measured by surface and satellite monitoring
systems between 1998 and 2013. Recently, Schmidt (2024) admitted that climate models could not explain the unusual global heat anomaly in 2023, which put climate science in an uncharted territory.
The above problems point to deficiencies in current climate models that require thorough investigation. Our research for the past 14 years focused on examining the physical foundation of the current climate theory resting on the 19th-Century “greenhouse” concept as a possible explanation for the IPCC model failure. Thus far, the results from our research have been published in 3 peer-reviewed papers (Volokin & ReLlez 2024; Nikolov & Zeller 2017; and Nikolov & Zeller 2024) and discussed at numerous science conferences around the World. Some conference presentations reported novel findings about drivers of Earth’s paleo-climate that are still to be published in the scientific literature (for example, this video presentation at the 101st AMS Annual Meeting in 2021).
