The point at which a trend becomes clear within the average temperature data for a given region — known as the «time of emergence» — depends on when the source of the warming begins, how fast it happens and the amount of background «noise» obscuring the signal.

Given the decadal averages and the issue of what is meant by «the next» decade, Romm does have a point that the result of the paper could more clearly be described as representing «a period of flat global mean temperatures extending somewhat into the coming decade, following by a very rapid rise in temperature leaving the planet on its long - term trend line by 2030.»

Using the known amplification of the solar cycle (and presumably the long term trend) in the UV band, allowing stratospheric temperatures and circulation patterns to adjust and including the direct radiative forcings from the sun and volcanoes, we found that it gave temperature anomalies and spatial patterns that were in fair agreement with the observations (Shindell et al, 2003).

When I look at any of the graphs of global temperature I am struck by an impression of a very high degree of autocorrelation (indeed, tending towards I (1) behaviour)-- particularly given the inflection around the turn of the century that seems inconsistent with a deterministic trend.

Given the uncertainties and compromises surrounding temperature measurement and the definition of a «global average» I wonder if temperature is the best indicator of climate trend.

And so the world is awash with quotes of absolute global mean temperatures for single years which use different baselines giving wildly oscillating fluctuations as a function of time which are purely a function of the uncertainty of that baseline, not the actual trends.

The trend line gives the misleading impression that there has been a constant but noisy rise in global temperatures.

Revkin wrote Hansen: «given that quite a few folks (Gore and some environmentalists particularly) have often used the USA temp trends in arguments for action (string of record years), its hard for me to ignore the re-analysis of these annual temperatures...» Its hard to know exactly what Revkin is aiming to say; there is ambiguity.

That given, I have long thought that the notion of a «global average temperature» (GAT) constructed from a sparse set of mixed quality data, statistically infilled (and outfilled) spatially and temporally to try to simulate global coverage is poorly suited to discerning trends presumably based on thermodynamics of the global climate system (GCS).

(c) The global mean (80 ° N to 80 ° S) radiative signature of upper - tropospheric moistening is given by monthly time series of combinations of satellite brightness temperature anomalies (°C), relative to the period 1982 to 2004, with the dashed line showing the linear trend of the key brightness temperature in °C per decade.

If there happened to be a natural temperature cycle which was at a minimum in 1861 and near a maximum at present, then plotting out temperatures over this time period and drawing a straight line through them could give a misleading impression of the trend.

Another thing: Regardsless what the source is for the rising trend of CO2, its the temperature sensitivity of CO2rise / year that gives the flat Antarctic curves problems.

The year as a whole gave miserable summer weather to many, and there has been no upward trend of temperatures since the highs of 1998, despite steadily rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

ie, a look at the actual temperature in the central england data set from the 1600's, would give a null hypothesis for any significant observable human AGW signature (ie a low % of AGW) as there only appear to be a gradual warming trend from a period known as the «little ice age».

Anomalies more accurately describe climate variability over larger areas than absolute temperatures do, and they give a frame of reference that allows more meaningful comparisons between locations and more accurate calculations of temperature trends.
