82 First awareness from climate models

Geologists were not good with computers and data. Physicists, statisticians and computer modelers started shaping up “climate science”

See image below. The top panel shows results from two ensemble of climate models driven with natural forcings, shown as thin blue and yellow lines; ensemble average temperature changes are thick blue and red lines. Three different observed estimates are shown as black lines. The lower panel shows simulations by the same models, but driven with both natural forcing and human-induced changes in greenhouse gases and aerosols.
