text: Lets take a look at how well the CMIP3 climate models simulated the lack of warming for the Indian & Pacific Oceans Plus sea surface temperature data over the last 19+ years. See Figure 4. The multi-model ensemble mean of the CMIP3-archived climate models simulate continued warming of that dataset during that period. The simulated sea surface temperatures marched happily on their way skyward. Why? Because theyre FORCED by greenhouse gases, while the sea surface temperatures of the global oceans are not. As noted on the graph, If The SST Anomalies Of The Indian & Pacific Oceans Plus Dataset Were Warmed By Greenhouse Gases They Would Have Warmed 0.31 Deg C.But they havent warmed.
