Ironic that you think your predictions (without computer models) are more reliable than those backed by computer models.
Please cite the evidence which shows the models have been proven wrong.
I have seen reports that the ice is actually melting faster than the models predicted. Bear in mind that models are never perfectly accurate; that does not mean they are "wrong."

that we would start to hear less and less about "global warming" and that they would come up with something else. Well, I was right, "global warming" is being steadily pushed aside in favor of the rhetorical catch-all "global climate change", the dishonesty of which is breathtaking.
