During the last few months and years there have been events which cannot be explained by our current understanding of climate change. As these are identified by scientists they are tested and if possible included in future climate models thus providing a more accurate total picture.
One of these was the discovery that air pollution of various forms had delayed the warming that was expected from the levels of CO2. As some of this pollution was controlled cleared skies led to accelerated warming.
We invite you to add such events here. The first is an explanation for the faster than expected decrease in the Polar Icecap in the past 4 years.
Together these events seem to indicate that scientists tend to be too conservative in their estimates of the rate of change and politicians are too hopeful that their measures are effective.
If the scientists are unable to predict such events with any accuracy how safe can our climate planning be? The cry of the general public who cannot be expected to evaluate th risks can only be "Give us a Safe Climate".
The giant unpredictable event is the next Ice Age.
