If the test of “consistent with” is defined as any overlap between models and observations, then any rate of cooling or warming between -10 deg C/decade and +13.0 dec C/decade could be said to be “consistent with” the model predictions of the IPCC. This is clearly so absurd as to be meaningless.
Excellent auditing work by Roger Pielke, Jr. The point isn’t a “climate skeptic” issue, it’s just ordinary scientific method — can we agree on how to falsify the selected group of models upon which the serial IPCC reports are based?
