Secondly, unlike the global average surface temperature trend, which has a lag with respect to radiative forcing, there is no such lag when heat content is measured in Joules (see http://blue.atmos.colostate.edu/publications/pdf/R-247.pdf).

(PS we are considering the climate sensitivity to be in terms of changes in global - time average surface temperature per unit global - time average radiative forcing, though one could also define other sensitivities for other measures of climate).

I think it's a mistake to refer to changes in global average surface air temperatures as if they were definitive measures of the change to the climate system.

Warming as measured by increased global heat, (heat in greater than heat out) and warming measured as increased globally averaged temperatures are closely linked but are still different things.

First they said the Mars and Venus measurements weren't measured, just computed; then they said we couldn't measure temperatures on other planets; then they said we'd need billions of measurements to estimate average surface temperature.

This is clear by your repeated confusion about how taking thousands of temperature measurements to get an average, repeatedly over time, then comparing those averages to identify changes over time, does not yield results measured in integers.

HadCRUT4 measures the average temperature over most of the globe, but not all of it.

Dana, I think you are pushing in the right direction with this; heat content is a much more direct measure of the underlying changes to the climate system than average air temperatures and climate science communicators should make heat content their first response to the suggestion that global warming is something that waxes and (allegedly, recently) wanes.

Ernst simply takes the averages, modern science simply (and rightfully) ignores the Bern data as completely unreliable, as these are the equivalent of measuring temperature on an asphalted parking lot...

to be consistent, either we should have 100 points measuring the temperature on a specific hour of the day on mountains and in the ocean, and no average world temperature, or we should do the same with CO2, measure high for the day, low for the day, average, and make a global average from many regions, and then define an anomaly on the same interval as the temperature anomaly in order to be consistent.
