“How about if I were to predict that the summer in Iowa will be warmer than the winter? Will that do?”

Nope. That will not do. What we are asking for is precision on your part. Give us the temp within 1.5 degrees, because the Global Warming Crowd is saying the temp will rise this much at a point in the future. If you can’t predict the correct temp of an Iowa summer then neither can you predict the temp of the earth with any precision decades into the future. I’m glad you aren’t a doctor because you wouldn’t have any patients left

Gene,

Scientists did not recently discover the SUN. The effect of the varying output of the sun has been studied and found to be a minor contributor to climate change.

Read the IPCC 4th assessment report found here;

http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/assessments-reports.htm

You will also find data and analysis on atmospheric temperatures, sea
surface temps, CO2 and other GHG concentration histories, aerosols (which contribute to cooling), ice masses, reflectance, etc, etc.
Thanks

Just to clarify:

If we want the February 2009 comparison to bear on the December 2008 measurement, that is what we need to do, right?

I have a question:

Why do we go from comparing December 2008/1979, to February 2009/1979?

We should be comparing February 2009 to February 1980, right?

What do the data show then? Just curious.

That, titled “Hubris” — appropriately enough — posts some beliefs about how uncertainty is handled in scientific work that come right out of the PR sites.

Not from me, to be clear.

To that “Hank” — please, compare the beliefs you posted with what’s published in the science journals about uncertainty. You’re copypasting stuff from PR sites intended to confuse people. You can look this stuff up. Your library — any library — will have this:
