There are no trends in temperatures over this period and
the inherent uncertainty in the data is largest at this time due to a sparser observing network.

This is intended to take account of some of the
uncertainties inherent in data on whale populations, and requires only two kinds of
data: current estimates and their statistical error; and historical details of catches.
Your reference to the Paleo is understood, however as with models there must be some
inherent uncertainty in the different methodologies (particularly the transient constraints as recent
data should also be accounted for
in them).
The structural
uncertainty represents the
uncertainty inherent in the DNDC model and is set using independent validation
data (directly measured daily methane fluxes on benchmark sites) available at the time of methodology publication.
I would have liked to see mention of
uncertainty that
inherent in examining short term
data, whether the end points used introduces an element of bias, whether the «pause» is on a much higher plateau of warming than
in the past, whether decadel cycles
in ocean heat displacement may have interacted with the the known minimum levels of solar activity (not modelled) to cause this «pause».
In addition, error analyses are needed that take into account the analytical and
inherent uncertainties of the input
data and propagate them through the entire inference and reconstruction process.
(2) The scientific community should perform a more comprehensive analysis of the
uncertainties inherent in the surface, radiosonde, and satellite
data sets.
Another issue is whether we have estimated the totality of
uncertainty in the long - term
data set used — maybe the envelope is really much larger, due to
inherent characteristics of the proxy
data themselves....
The
uncertainties range from inadequate scientific understanding of the problems,
data gaps and general lack of
data to
inherent uncertainties of future events
in general.
