Michaels](https://www.cato.org/people/patrick-michaels) --- SHARE Okay, maybe not “without” comment, but with very little comment. Dr. Peter Stott of the U.K.’s Hadley Center was a contributing author to Chapter 10 “Global Climate Projections” of the 2007 U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) *Fourth Assessment Report*. He is also the lead author of a new paper just published in the scientific journal *Environmental Research Letters*. For those of you who have been following much that [we](https://www.cato.org/projects#css) have been [writing](https://www.cato.org/blog/another-lower-climate-sensitivity-estimate) about climate change, the following will only be surprising in its candor. So, without further ado (we promise this time) here is the title of Stott and colleagues new paper: > “The upper end of climate model temperature projections is inconsistent with past warming” Details are available [here](http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/1/014024) (sorry, couldn’t help ourselves). ##### Related Tags [Energy and Environment](https://www.cato.org/research/energy-environment) [![Creative Commons License](/build/cato_2020/images/creative-commons.svg)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) This work is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/).
