«This thing is real» A
temperature series study recently published in the International Journal of Climatology found that over 175 years (1838 to 2012), the
annual average temperature in Oslo, Norway, has
gone up 1.5 C.
Annual average GCR counts per minute (blue - note that numbers decrease going up the left vertical axis, because lower GCRs should mean higher temperatures) from the Neutron Monitor Database vs. annual average global surface temperature (red, right vertical axis) from NOAA NCDC, both with second order polynomial
Annual average GCR counts per minute (blue - note that numbers decrease
going up the left vertical axis, because lower GCRs should mean higher

annual average global surface temperature (red, right vertical axis) from NOAA NCDC, both with second order polynomial
annual average global surface
temperature (red, right vertical axis) from NOAA NCDC, both with second order polynomial fits.
There seem to be two answers; either
temperatures are
going to rise at an
average annual rate as predicted by the IPCC and the GCMs, or
temperatures are
going to reach a maximum and then decline.
If you have a reconstruction of
annual average temperatures at a location over the past 1000 yrs with an error range of, say, + / -0.3 deg C in the proxy data, and the net
temperature change over that time period is 1.0 deg C from the proxy data, your counts and timing of records are
going to be heavily dependent on errors.
But it is one heck of a leap to
go from those general propositions to assert that you can measure local
average annual temperature — and
temperature alone — to within less than a degree by doing the same.
And how does a plant know that the
annual average temperature has
gone up or down a degree here or there since 30 years before it grew from seed.
