Several models predicting the future of climate change have taken a drastic turn for the worse: multiple research teams are now forecasting that the planet will heat up more catastrophically than previously anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The changes are so dire that some researchers are doubting their own work, according to Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>. But if the simulations hold up, they convey a clear message: in order to stave off the worst of climate change, world leaders will need to take strong action<\/a> soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s possible that these models \u2014 which predict how much global temperatures will rise along with certain levels of greenhouse gas emissions \u2014 will be shown to be inaccurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute\u2019s senior researcher Klaus Wyser, for instance, told Bloomberg<\/em> that the sudden jump may well be in error \u2014 but it\u2019s too soon to know for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe hope it\u2019s not the right answer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the discrepancy, Bloomberg<\/em> reports, could come from the inherent difficulty of predicting how clouds impact weather<\/a>. When one team turned off updated cloud simulations, their forecast returned to previous levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat really scares me is that our model looked better for some really good physical reasons,\u201d Andrew Gettelman of the National Center for Atmospheric Research told Bloomberg<\/em>. \u201cSo we can\u2019t throw them out yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n READ MORE: <\/strong>Climate Models Are Running Red Hot, and Scientists Don\u2019t Know Why<\/a> [Bloomberg<\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n More on climate change: <\/strong>Doomsday Report Author: Earth\u2019s Leaders Have Failed<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February 3, 2020 by DAN ROBITZSKI (futurism.com) Nightmare Scenario Several models predicting the future of climate change have taken a drastic turn for the worse: multiple research teams are now forecasting that the planet will heat up more catastrophically than previously anticipated.
