LOL. We learn from the Daily Sceptic that the Met Office is to start using model predictions instead of actual data in order to assess when we have passed the 'catastrophic' 1.5C global warming threshold.

In keeping with the Christmassy message, I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago:

“Betts of the Met has the answer: consult the Ghost of Climate Change Future and see what he has to say, and combine his warnings with the testimony of the Ghosts of Climate Change Past and Present and thus designate their combined testimonies as ‘present’ for the purpose of informing policy here and now! There, climate Scrooged. No really, a friend thought I was actually joking when I quoted this from Betts of the Met’s recent paper published in Nature:”

They've been doing that for some time.
