It’s from Art Horn. Meteorologist.

The climate models get them all wrong. The missing hotspot and outgoing radiation data both, independently, prove that the amplification in the climate models is not present. Without the amplification, the climate model temperature predictions would be cut by at least two-thirds, which would explain why they overestimated the recent air and ocean temperature increases. Therefore,

* The climate models are fundamentally flawed. Their assumed threefold amplification by feedbacks does not in fact exist.

* The climate models overestimate temperature rises due to CO2 by at least a factor of three.

* The skeptical view is compatible with the data.
