problem of dependency between the countries, or (ii) the economic indices vary abruptly from country to country and thus have very different
spatial scales and structures to those seen in the warming trends.

problems with simple energy balance model and its lack
of spatial representation, but it's tough to fault the authors for the lack
of cloud detail, since the science is not up to the task
of solving that
problem (and doing so would be outside the scope
of the paper; very few paleoclimate papers that tackle the sensitivity issue do much with clouds).

The major cognitive deficits that accompany mild disabilities are
problems usually associated with reading and math (for example, reading comprehension, spelling, oral recitation, hand eye coordination, computation, and visual

Best known for the slashed and cut canvases — and related

of the Concetti spaziali that he created primarily in the 1950s and 60s, Argentine — Italian artist Lucio Fontana (1899 — 1968) trained as a sculptor at the Academy

A simple sign test could determine if this is true and, since autocorrelations (both
spatial and temporal) should act similarly on records at both extremes, I suspect it could be argued that statistical
problems would cancel each other out once the test was adjusted for the correct degrees
of freedom.

NW and Ken, a short answer is that the investigators need to combine evidence

spatial extent
of the upper treeline zone in order to avoid this
problem (by ensuring that only material that was within this zone at any given time is used).
Even the modest temp increase recorded in the global temp series is likely to be overstated (and very unlikely to be understated) due to various factors such as UHI (in its broader definition
of stations getting increasingly in close vicinity

problems with the choice
of stations, and other
problems with infilling and averaging
of gridcells without due consideration
of spatial autocorrelation and other similar
problems (cf e.g. the Steig - O'Donnell debate).
