“The significance of 4 of the 10 warmest yrs now being in the 1930’s vs the 2000’s, appears to escape you. The earth’s temp was warmer than than now, (not by much, granted)”
The warm 1930s numbers are US temps not global temps. Careful you dont make his point by getting your own facts wrong.
if I was to summarize his long essay, it is :
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. The earth is warming, evidence be damned, the Great AlGore has spoken!”
It’s particularly shocking that he responds to an error in *HIS* work with ad hominem blasting other people as engaged in ‘deceit’.
Thanks for that point. It is a good one. I hoped readers qould correlate my response on the temps to that of the US as it is in that context. It never hurts to make things as clear as possible.
I think the real problem here is the admission that the numbers they use for their analysis and charts are all corrected, not raw data merely averaged and then compared with influences to see where their corrections took them.
No matter what, we know that this is not the same as you writing down what your thermometer says every day.
Somewhere there ought to still be the raw data to be analysed by someone with no ax to grind.
