Greetings all,

This relates to geoengineering because many have used 2023-24 spikes as an argument to fast track deployment of SRM. Figured worth alerting you if you have questions for Gavin:

I may open the studio link for a few folks to come on face to face to ask questions but one way or the other this will be a very worthwhile moment of clarity amid a lot of speculation on ocean/atmosphere spikes, drivers, model gaps and more. 



Longtime climate journalist ANDY REVKIN speaks with longtime NASA climate scientist GAVIN SCHMIDT about his Nature commentary on what missing factors may be behind 2023’s shocking ocean and atmosphere temperature spikes and what data are needed to help climate models, forecast and policies catch up.

I am surprised by the heading "Climate models can't explain 2023's huge heat anomaly". I don't think any climate center would claim they can predict climate anomaly for the next year with good skill. We have good predictability for weather over about 5-7 days and for climate change on multi-decadal timescales. That is about it. 

I am surprised to see statements to the effect that climate models cannot predict next season's rainfall correctly or next year's temperature. We can and should try to improve predictability on seasonal, annual, and decadal timescales. However, there is no basis for good skill on these timescales....
