CRUTEM4 shows no warming from 1866-1910, but in 1997 GISS land temps showed a strong warming trend during that period.

A decline in ocean cloud cover projected in climate models points to more than 5.6°F (3°C) of global warming coming in this century, on the high end of past global warming estimates, warn climate scientists in a new study.
“This degree of warming would make large swaths of the tropics uninhabitable by humans and cause most forests at low and middle latitudes to change to something else,” says Steven Sherwood of Australia’s University of New South Wales, who led the study.
That would be the same tropics which has barely warmed over the last 34 years.
The changes, Sherwood says, would take Earth “back to the climate of the dinosaurs or worse, and in a geologically minuscule period of time—less than the lifetime of a single tree.”

Atmospheric scientists have long asked how high atmospheric temperatures will rise if greenhouse gases double. This “climate sensitivity” estimate has emerged as a key climate question, with estimates ranging from a low of about 2.7°F (1.5°C) to highs of more than 8°F (4.5°C) of warming in this century.
My model predicts 1,000 degrees warming. Here is the code.

Those 1930’s V-12’s were tough on the climate.
Just kidding.
Really. Just kidding. Not.
The researchers, journalists and others currently trapped on the Shokalskiy face a different environment from the one encountered by Mawson. In 2013, for the second year in a row, Antarctic sea ice grew to a record extent: the continent’s ice reached more than 19.5m square kilometres (12m square miles) in September. Those sceptical about climate change claim the fate of the Shokalskiy is an embarrassment to scientists worried about global warming. Nay-sayers should not crow too loudly. The world’s changing climate may be altering polar winds, which in turn could be affecting the volume of Antarctic ice. As wind pushes sea ice together, it forces ridging, leading to thicker and longer-lasting ice formations. Stronger winds also drive ice to move more quickly. Antarctica’s blustery weather, and the thicker ice it creates, therefore may be signs of climate change in themselves.
In 2007 winds compressed Arctic ice into a thick mass with record low extent, not record high extent. How stupid are these people?

Planet likely to warm by 4C by 2100, scientists warn
New climate model taking greater account of cloud changes indicates heating will be at higher end of expectations
Professor Steven Sherwood, at the University of New South Wales, in Australia, who led the new work, said: “This study breaks new ground twice: first by identifying what is controlling the cloud changes and second by strongly discounting the lowest estimates of future global warming in favour of the higher and more damaging estimates.”
“Climate sceptics like to criticise climate models for getting things wrong, and we are the first to admit they are not perfect,” said Sherwood. “But what we are finding is that the mistakes are being made by the models which predict less warming, not those that predict more.”

Actually, what we are finding is that many climate scientists now lie about everything in order to keep their funding intact. The climate models predicting more warming have been shown to be completely useless.
