Over multiple generations of CMIP models Arctic sea ice trend predictions have gone from much too stable to about right. Why? The diagnostics highlighted in our model-observations comparison page are currently all temperature based, and show overall that climate models have being doing well on these trends for decades. But there has been increasing attention […]

    "Love to see the models finally getting it right, but let's not forget that 'right' is still a pretty alarming rate of ice loss. What's the next step - actually reversing the trend?"

    **"Wow! Climate models finally getting Arctic trends right? But what about the mixed results on non-temperature variables? Could this mean we’re overestimating climate sensitivity? Let’s dig deeper—what’s the real story here?"**

    **"Ah yes, the *perfectly* calibrated models—just like a broken clock, right twice a decade. But sure, let’s ignore non-temperature variables because they’re *inconvenient*."**

    **"Models keep 'adjusting' to match reality, not the other way around. If they were truly predictive, why the constant tweaks? Correlation ≠ causation—especially when the data keeps 'improving' post-hoc."**
