Here the adjustment is determined by (1) calculating the collocated ship - buoy SST difference over the global ocean from 1982 - 2012, (2) calculating the global areal weighted average of ship - buoy SST difference, (3) applying a 12 - month running filter to the global averaged ship - buoy SST difference, and (4) evaluating the mean difference and its STD of ship - buoy SSTs based on the data from 1990 to 2012 (the data are noisy before 1990 due to sparse buoy observations).

Delegates debated at length to find the clearest language possible to explain that a claimed «15 - year hiatus» is based on a single variable (global mean surface temperature), too short a period of observation for climatic significance, and sensitive to the choice of the starting year from which a 15 - year period is calculated.

The significance of straightness is that this is what Arrhenius calculated as the expected behavior of global mean surface temperature with rising CO2.

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global» warming in localized areas of the globe.

Measurement sites form the core input of the data set for calculating this «global mean temperature» (whatever that actually means), but the measurements from these sites is accurate at best to the nearest 1 degree, in actual practice around the nearest 5 degrees since many are reading off mercury thermometers — and this condition increases in frequency the further back in time you go.

That's the point of my question — how do you claim to get 0.00 accuracy in order to claim that you know, for a scientific fact, that a «global mean temperature» for say 1940 can be calculated, compared to a «global mean temperature» for 2010, and the «difference» is 0.75 degrees Celsius, when the inputs aren't accurate to that level?
