The original Charney Report that says doubling CO2 will yield 1.5-4.5 degrees C temperature change (
geosci.uchicago.edu/~archer/wa
)
featured these two models from #NOAA 's #GFDL and #NASA 's #GISS - incidentally, gfdl was also in the news yesterday

" The gutting of NOAA was outlined earlier this month in a leaked memo from the Office of Management and Budget that detailed steep reductions at the Department of Commerce, which houses the science agency. ... NOAA’s overall funding would be slashed by 27%…
most significant target is the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research ⎯ a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling, including the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory ⎯ which would be cut by 74%. “At this funding level, OAR is eliminated as a line office,” the memo stated.”

#gsa has told #nasa to vacate it’s only office in #nyc

This facility is unique in that it is a partnership between #columbia and nasa with about 2/3 of the 120 people in the building being researchers employed by Columbia. This lab could not exist at all outside of nyc.

This lab, along with #gfdl in Princeton NJ were the first to come up with how sensitive the #climate is to inputs of CO2 in the 1979 Charney report.

We still make estimates of future climate change today.
