Nobody with even a basic understanding of the science would argue for a simple monotonic linear increase in temperatures in the presence of multiple forcings and internal climate variation.

HPD is sensitive to monotonic transforms of the parameter in question — it will tell different stories for standard deviation, variance, precision (reciprocal variance), and log variance, while equal tails will give the same answer for all such transformations, if appropriately computed.

Andy, surely you already know that the punching - dolls will carry on in defiance of Dr. Trenberth's «Too many think global warming means monotonic relentless warming everywhere year after year.

This means that the heat content was «reset» to this earlier value, whereas the multi-decadal global climate model projects a more - or-less monotonic increase in ocean heat content.

Unlike 20th century warming, which is almost monotonic (well, CO2 increase is, the temperature and solar activity had a decrease from the 1940's to 1970's), the CRF and temperature variations over the past billion years are very non-monotinic, making any correlation highly nontrivial.
