Best summed up by a quote from Congressman Henry Waxman, House Oversight Committee Chairman:

The rest of the report is just as damning. It’s short, I’d recommend taking a look if you’re even the least bit interested in the politics of climate change.

I would love to see this guy—Oscar winner and as of this morning Nobel Laureate—in the Oval Office.

Apparently they’re only capturing about 10% of the observed changes in pressure in the models
