Economic Forecasters, Take Heart . . .

Economic Forecasters, Take Heart . . .

. . .  climate change forecasting models are even worse than your own models.  A paper published in the peer-reviewed Climate Dynamics ”amounts to a stunning challenge to climate science orthodoxy.”   Researchers Professor Judith Curry and Dr. Marcia Wyatt find that a natural cycle is responsible for the 17-year pause in climate change--as well as the previous period of warming--during which there has been no statistically significant rise in the earth’s temperature since 1997.  As it stands today, the earth’s temperature is below almost all the predictions made by the 138 computer models relied upon by the enforcers of climate change orthodoxy, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).  The natural “stadium wave” cycle of climate change discovered by Curry and Wyatt predicts that the pause in climate change will extend into the 2030s, in sharp contrast to the 0.3 to 0.7 C  warming forecast by the IPCC earlier this year.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
