How bad are the climate models?
The observations as a group exhibit a significant trend of 0.110 C per decade, compared to a model trend of 0.272 C decade. In the MT layer the model trend was 0.253 C decade remains significant but the mean observed trend is a statistically insignificant 0.057 C per decade. So much for the ‘hotspot’, the models exaggerate warming X2 in the lower troposphere and X4 in the middle troposphere.
I would say very weak.
All I can say is this is taking the green thing way too far…. The human waste powered VW Beetle

Great minds think alike….Pesky! Ship find shows present Arctic Sea Ice conditions similar to 1853
Interesting that the ship was lost in 1853, right at the end of the Little Ice Age, and coincidentally just 3 years after the start of the HADCRU global temperature record, from which we are led to believe the earth has warmed about 0.7C. If we are seeing “unprecedented” global temperatures and changes in Arctic sea ice, how did the HMS Investigator get this far north at the end of the Little Ice Age?
