at the time pointing out that the audience was likely to have been severely misled by this question, that the warming over the previous 16 years
reached a conventional threshold of
statistical significance (p < 0.05), and that over a short timescale natural causes of variability (ENSO, volcanoes, the solar cycle) tend to predominate, so the short answer is «15 years is too small a sample to demonstrate
statistical significance.»
