Abstract
- The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has accepted that output from the Hadley Center transient climate model is 'evidence' that man-made global warming is occurring. This paper explains thatthe model output only indicates that the Hadley Center climate modeldoes not emulate climate changes in the real world. The IPCC and theHadley Center have presented the GCM model's input data as being itsoutput. This proclamation is not true and contravenes the principle of science that hypothesis are tested against observed data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
