Climate Models Can’t Explain What’s Happening to Earth (www.theatlantic.com)

Fifty years into the project of modeling Earth’s future climate, we still don’t really know what’s coming. Some places are warming with more ferocity than expected. Extreme events are taking scientists by surprise. Right now, as the bald reality of climate change bears down on human life, scientists are seeing more clearly the limits of our ability to predict the exact future we face. The coming decades may be far worse, and far weirder, than the best models anticipated.

Supposedly this was predicted by many models that were once discredited as too alarmist for politicians to act upon.
