Please bookmark this page (http://bit.ly/zA0a2j) so that we could compare IPCC’s projection with observation in the coming years. This the most easily verifiable graph IPCC ever gave regarding the performance of climate models in the near term.
Why has the realclimate’s error shades look like a diverging tube instead of a cylindrical one?
Is not the projection a linear warming of 0.2 deg C per decade? In this case, does not the error shade need to look like a cylindrical tube?
May be they wanted to keep the recent observations inside the error shades.
I prefer the following comparison than RC’s one => http://bit.ly/xQJNcF
