I have also had an abstract (very rushed) accepted for a EGU poster session.
http://www.cosis.net/abstracts/EGU2007/10906/EGU2007-J-10906.pdf
I, like Singer, am also citing the report " Temperature Trends in the Lower
Atmosphere: Steps for Understanding and Reconciling Differences." The
Executive Summary (Wigley et al., 2006) concludes:
"A potentially serious inconsistency, however, has been identified in the
tropics. Figure 4G shows that the lower troposphere warms more rapidly than
the surface in almost all model simulations, while, in the majority of
observed data sets, the surface has warmed more rapidly than the lower
troposphere.
...
It may arise from errors that are common to all models, from errors in the
observational data sets, or from a combination of these factors.The second
explanation is favored, but the issue is still open."
However, unlike Singer, I do not believe that measuring sea level rise is a
good way of establishing the correctness of atmospheric climate models. The
fact that the models cannot explain the lack of warming in the troposphere,
nor explain rapid climate change is enough to convince me that they are
wrong.
Cheers, Alastair.
