The Heisenberg failure
Heisenberg failed in many ways while developing, or trying to develop a working reactor, and of course atomic bombs during WWII. This is attributed by Bodanis (and others of course) to the facts that he was a theorist, while many of the others working on the same problem were trained as engineers, And the German educational system, and the fascist mentality, which Heisenberg personified, preventing his subordinates from even mentioning his errors, much less solving fundamental problems that he had in fact created by using theoretical methods, rather than practical engineering.
This applies to current climate research, where open hostility and a refusal to even consider any other ideas when it comes to solving large problems for general circulation models.
These include (but not limited to) solar physics, atmospheric chemistry, biological forcings, clouds, precipitation, ocean circulation, large scale atmospheric changes, snow and ice, other pollutants besides CO2, vulcanism, especially undersea activity and under the ice sheets.
The list goes on and on.

Why does the global warming theory predict the most warming in winter, over the NH land masses?
When I bring this fact up. almost nobody knows about it, much less why.

GISS update of March 22 2015 post, February data
an old blog post
-------------------------------------
GISS will show you a map that minimizes the data, and uses the coldest period in the last century as a baseline for the anomalies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since GISS has changed the version they use, compare the 2014 version with the current one
February 2014 version
Current version (captured April 14 2020)

This shows a more scientific view of just how cold February was, especially in the areas that saw records broken for both cold and snow.

For temperature, the 1800s were considerably cooler with a remarkable warming trend through about 1940, followed by a cooling trend through the early 1980s. While temperatures have warmed in recent years, they were not as warm as the 1930s.
