News roundup; 1.4.16

Here's a few stories that I thought were interesting for some reason or other:


Incidentally, with reference to that last AGW news item, there was another mention at another article that discusses how the climate models were wrong in predicting temperatures.  Once again, models are not supposed to be used that way.  If they are used incorrectly like this, then it isn't science anymore.  Models are to be used in order to better gather data, not to generate predictions.


If the models don't predict the temperatures correctly, then they should seek to explain temperature fluxes another way, the retry their model.  One thing the models might have detected would be the placement of weather stations.  Since they are too close to "heat islands", the data has been skewed.  If their models are based upon faulty data like that, then no wonder the models don't predict the temperatures correctly.  But that's what models are for, if they were truly being used for science.
