1. The Data Have Spoken: Climate Model Forecasts Have Failed Dr. Roy W. Spencer Principal Research Scientist The University of Alabama in Huntsville 30 October 2015

2. Global Tropospheric Temperatures Monitored since 1979 with satellites by two separate research groups (UAH, RSS)

3. Climate Models Over-Forecast Global Warming when compared to all 3 types of temperature data (satellites, radiosondes, near-surface thermometers)

4. The Model Failures Extend to Regional Predictions e.g. the U.S. CORN BELT …this then leads to exaggerated projections of climate change impacts on agricultural yields.

5. Conclusion It is difficult to base energy policy (e.g. the Social Cost of Carbon) on models which are demonstrably wrong in their predictions.
