The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has accepted that output from the Hadley Centre transient climate model is “evidence” that man-made global warming is occurring. This paper explains that the model output only indicates that the Hadley Centre climate model does not emulate climate changes in the real world. The IPCC and the Hadley Centre have presented the GCM model's input data as being its output. This proclamation is not true and contravenes the principle of science that hypothesis are tested against observed data.
