There's been a little discussion of a non-peer reviewed (so far) paper published by Anthony Watts et
al. claiming the warming at the best - sited US weather stations is two - thirds» that estimated by NOAA for the US based on the entire adjusted weather station record.

al., focusing on the
claim that climate models have supposedly overestimated global
warming.
BTW, the authors continue considering both the LIA and the MWP as valid concepts, contrary to Mann et
al. 2) Even though they have little confidence in temperature reconstructions previous to AD 1600 and very little for those previous to AD 900, the authors consider that Mann et al's
claim of the last decades being
warmer than any such period in the past millennium is nonetheless plausible.
How do Levitus et
al. do the attribution part of their study, when they
claim that the

al. studies seemed to vindicate those who had been
claiming that the recent global
warming was unusual and «man - made».
For a while Spencer et
al. were
claiming that their data didn't show
warming, but then errors were found in their analysis method.
This is an important point, because Christy is constantly
claiming that his UAH satellite temperature record is the gold standard, contrary to other research, for example Mears et
al. 2011 and Thorne et
al. 2011, which note that the satellite data possibly have outstanding issues, and contrary to the Watts and Christy preliminary paper in which the amount of
warming the authors
claim is happening in the United States is inconsistent with the amount of
warming in the UAH record.
In the Comment by Nuccitelli et
al., they make many false and invalid criticisms of the CFC -
warming theory in my recent paper, and
claim that their anthropogenic forcings including CO2 would provide a better explanation of the observed global mean surface temperature (GMST) data over the past 50 years.
True to climategate form, as the IPCC chapters continue to be leaked out, we can see the widespread attempt to ignore O [Donnell et
al.] 10 and use the incorrect
warming caused by math errors of S09 to
claim that the Antarctic is in danger of melting — even though it is not.»
This all changed in the mid-2000s, when several researchers began publishing papers
claiming to have finally discovered evidence proving that man - made global
warming was increasing the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones, e.g., Trenberth, 2005 (Abstract; Google Scholar access); Emmanuel, 2005 (Abstract; Google Scholar access); Webster et
al., 2005 (Abstract; Google Scholar access); Trenberth & Shea, 2006 (Abstract; Google Scholar access); Mann & Emanuel, 2006 (Abstract; Google Scholar access); or Holland & Webster, 2007 (Open access).
According to the World Health Organization, climate change is already
claiming more than 150,000 lives annually (Patz, Campbell - Lendrum, Holloway, & Foley, 2005), and estimates of future migrations triggered by unmitigated global
warming run as high as 187 million refugees (Nicholls et
al., 2011).
Warming has been occurring but it is more muted than
claimed by Tom Karl et
al..
Were Rose and Curry Skeptical Science readers, they would have known several days prior to the publication of this article that the
claim about global
warming «pausing» in 1997 was pre-bunked by Nuccitelli et
al., as Figure 3 clearly shows.
It would appear rather odd that Bhaskar et
al. (2017) would wish to
claim, for example, that methane gas has been a significant driver of
warming, but at the same time reject water vapour and cloud cover changes as factors affecting global temperatures.
The fact that England, et
al., can
claim the «robust nature of twenty - first century
warming projections» and «increased confidence «in IPCC projections, when their models are obviously incapable of resolving the climate energy state, merely shows that they can have no understanding whatever of the source of physical meaning.
However, inspection of a
claim by Cook et
al. (Environ Res Lett 8:024024, 2013) of 97.1 % consensus, heavily relied upon by Bedford and Cook, shows just 0.3 % endorsement of the standard definition of consensus: that most
warming since 1950 is anthropogenic.
Anyone remember, when Spencer's UAH data showed supposedly no
warming of the lower and mid troposphere, which was used by AGW - «Skeptics» back then to
claim that global
warming claims based on the surface temperature data were wrong, but turned out to be actually a problem with Spencer's own retrieval algorithm (Fu et
al., Nature 2004, http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature02524)?
«These analyses suggest that a contribution from ENSO - e ffects to global temperatures, when expressed as the cumulative sum of the SOI, can potentially account for 50 % of the variation in global mean temperature in the last 50 years — a «large part» of
warming, as
claimed by McLean et
al. [2009].

The more recent analysis of available Chinese data by Jones et
al. (2008) showed, as the article states, that «far from being negligible [as
claimed in the 1990 work], the urban heat phenomenon was responsible for 40 % of the
warming seen in eastern China between 1951 and 2004 ″.
