By Penny Starr In a June 20 interview with Spiegel Online, German climate scientist Hans von Storch said that despite predictions of a warming
planet the temperature data for the past 15 years shows an increase of 0.06 or «very close to zero.»
So putting all
the planets temperature data on one global scale is a mistake.

data analyst, Robert Rohde (there's more on him here), have clearly added value to longstanding efforts to clarify
temperature trends across a variegated
planet.
Even putting aside the OHC
data and fingerprinting, there is absolutely no evidence in model simulations (or in prevailing reconstructions of the Holocene), that an unforced climate would exhibit half - century timescale global
temperature swings of order ~ 1 C. I don't see a good theoretical reason why this should be the case, but since Judith lives on «
planet observations» it should be a pause for thought.
According to
data from the World Health Organization, rising
temperatures on the

What is very important to take from this
data is that the rise and fall of global
temperatures and the rise and fall of CO2 emissions is a completely natural cycle that the
planet has gone through on many occasions.
In the article, headlined «Time that climate alarmists fessed up,» Bolt claimed that «the
planet hasn't actually warmed for a decade - or even 15 years, according to new

I am more interested in the
temperature of earth + atmosphere as observable from space, as that is the
temperature determined by radiative equilibrium adn for which we have comparative
data for other
planets.
Deriving a reliable global
temperature from the instrument
data is not easy because the instruments are not evenly distributed across the
planet, the hardware and observing locations have changed over the years, and there has been extensive land use change (such as urbanization) around some of the sites.
New Hansen analysis and global
temperature data counter disinformers who say the
planet is cooling
But emissivity of a rocky
planet would certainly be less than 0.88 and so the
temperature would be over 290K and thus there is actually cooling by greenhouse gases, as empirical
data proves to be the case for water vapour.
Actually Fielding's use of that graph is quite informative of how denialist arguments are framed — the selected bit of a selected graph (and don't mention the fastest warming region on the
planet being left out of that
data set), or the complete passing over of short term variability vs longer term trends, or the other measures and indicators of climate change from ocean heat content and sea levels to changes in ice sheets and minimum sea ice levels, or the passing over of issues like lag time between emissions and effects on
temperatures... etc..

Proxy
data, especially O - 18 / O - 16 ratios indicate that the
planet may very well have begun the descent into the next glacial about 8,000 years ago, around which time post-Pleistocene

Here we start with endlessly faulty
data — from instruments parked on urban «heat islands» to severely massaged
data bases of daily
temperature readings, from sketchy numbers for the vast reaches of the

data with which to test predictions of man - made global warming.
25 years of collecting unreliable (at best) and «noisy»
temperature data from all over the face of the world, computer modeling over an even smaller span of years by people working on government grants and there you have it folks, predictions of gloom and doom for our
planet with «information» extrapolated from 1850 to 2300 with all sorts of «modeled» graphs and pretty «manufactured» pictures offered as proof.
«The
data are very strong that the
planet is warming, as shown by analyses by NASA, NOAA, the Berkeley Earth group and others, by
data from thermometers in the air including those well away from cities, thermometers in the ocean and in the ground, taken up by balloons and looking down from space, and changes in
temperature - sensitive snow and ice and plants and animals,» said Alley.
Through
temperature data, they are still just hunting for trends to the exclusion of the parameters the
planet and sun has changed.
Moreover, not only have all of the AGW alarmist computer models failed spectacularly and repeatedly, but the alarmists have been caught red - handed once again engaging in wholesale fraud fraud, blatantly tampering with the
temperature data, in order to be able to falsely claim that the
planet is warming.
But I'm sure if I was a state climatologist, aware that a fellow state climatologist had been summarily fired for questioning AGW, I might write a newspaper column singing a lunatic's praises too — and turn a blind eye to all the missing raw
data, and the endless «adjustments» that always mysteriously go in an upward direction, and the thoroughly corrupt, scheming UN / IPCC, and the plain fact that the
planet itself is falsifying the CO2 - CAGW hypothesis: as CO2 steadily rises, the global
temperature has been flat to declining for most of the past decade: click
The GISTEMP dataset provides gridded global
temperature estimates covering almost the entire
planet over recent decades: This
data allows us to estimate the effect of poor coverage in the other datasets.
4 Volokin et al have shown that planetary surface
temperatures are a function of solar insolation and surface pressure only, not GHG concentrations, on all 8
planets for which we have adequate
data, including Earth & Venus.
These sets of
data are constructed by taking the high and the low
temperature of the stations around the
planet and averaging the
temperatures until the annual average
temperature anomaly is reached.
If this is the best such land area surface
temperature assessment system on the
planet (covering, as well, a broad range of metropolitan, suburban, and rural areas), and the quality of the system is now proven to be demonstrably more prone to error than had been previously assumed — with the preponderance of error shown to produce the impression of warming in excess of real conditions prevailing — what may be reliably inferred about surface
temperature monitoring systems
data from even less reliable thermometers all over the rest of the world?
By comparing the atmospheric CO2 increase (note that since CO2 is well - mixed in the atmosphere, a single ice core record can be used as an accurate representation for CO2 - Shakun et al. used the Antarctic EPICA Dome C ice core for CO2
data) to these many different
temperature records, Shakun et al. are able to discern whether the CO2 increase led or lagged
temperature changes in various different geographic locations, and for the
planet as a whole.
3 brave researchers finally figure out what has been obvious to mathematical modelers (who know to backtest models on past, known,
data) since day one of the IPCC extravaganza - we could double atmospheric CO2 and the chance of the
planet tipping into a 4.5 C
temperature increase (current catastrophe scenario being peddled) would still remain under 1 %.
It will also include scientifically refuting the apparent falsification of the above «dangerous AGW» hypothesis, which has resulted from the observed «lack of warming» of our
planet over the past decade (atmosphere, at both the surface and troposphere since 2001, sea surface
temperature since ARGO measurements were installed in 2003), despite record increase in atmospheric CO2, as measured at Mauna Loa, by demonstrating with empirical
data where the «missing energy» is hiding.
(Also better to use UAH instead of crappy adjusted GISS from urban weather stations plus made up
temperature data for much of
planet.)
The problem with focusing on one
data set to makes or refute a case like surface
temperature is the
planet is more complex than that.
Earth is the warmest it's been in 100,000 years, a new reconstruction of historical
temperature data finds, and with today's level of fossil fuel emissions the
planet is «locked into» eventually hitting its highest
temperature mark in 2 million years.
