The second is is the claim that the
pattern of temperature changes over the past century can be replicated by models including greenhouse gas forcing but not otherwise.
Using anomalies particularly bothers me because is forces one to think
of temperature change as linear, whereas it appears to be exponential.
The solid contours with labels show the
range of temperature changes across the high - end models (again scaled by the global mean temperature rise).
If urban heat islands significantly biased the temperature record, then you'd expect a global
map of temperature change to have red spots where the population is concentrated.
Though the findings indicated that overall both air and water temperatures have increased throughout the region, there was variability in the magnitude and
direction of temperature changes, particularly for water.
The scheme was based on the finding that the
correlation of temperature change was reasonably strong for stations separated by up to 1200 km, especially at middle and high latitudes.
This result is based on short term
observations of temperature changes while CO2 concentrations were approximately constant, so they only hold true over periods when CO2 does not change much.
Like I said, I go through a
lot of temperature changes and my feet also get a bit swollen from all the sitting and inevitable dehydration (despite my best efforts).
