If a model reproduces the overall characteristics of the real-world climate record reasonably well, that's a good sign.
The climatological risk index for accumulated, 'fatigue' damage is established, using a procedure to reduce irregular real-world climate histories into simple RH cycles of known damage impact.
As with interpreting the movements of the real-world climate, the pro-format types are over inclined to over-interpret the significance of runes and draw too-narrow conclusions.
"It's a good step forward, showing how the technology can work in the real world," says climate scientist Drew Shindell of NASA in New York City.
In the real world, thanks to climate tipping points which turn modest temperature rises into searing ones, we cannot afford to dip at all.
Now, hopefully, the Union can move on to deal with real problems in the real world, such as climate change, energy security, Kosovo, the revival of Russian power, and so on.
Others believed that the rising influence of developing nations is good for the scientific process, putting some real world experience of climate change in among the models and chart.
Now, we're starting to see the real world damage coming from climate change a thing that for many is simply an abstract concept.
"That's not what happened in the real world," said said Benjamin D. Santer, a climate scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who was lead author of the new study.
On a practical level, many of these study design elements that we aim to optimize are difficult to control in the real world with the current funding climate.
