In the mid-2000s, the energy imbalance was about 0.6 watts per square metre (W/m2) on average. In recent years, the average was about 1.3 W/m2. **This means the rate at which energy is accumulating near the planet’s surface has doubled. **

FAaFO , we're in the find out phase.

The models were deliberately not measuring/predicting ALL the factors they knew were involved. Back in 1998 I asked a Scripps Institute of Oceanography speaker why the models were ignoring the methane/permafrost feedback loop and was told "we decided to focus on other things"... so yeah, inaccurate models give inaccurate predictions. Get used to hearing "it is all happening faster than we expected" from now until we are incinerated.

But the economy is doing good and those little arrows are pointing up and numbers are going up instead of down ..... that means it's good.

Kind of the opposite, sadly.

On the bright side, billionaires have never made so much money as they do now.
