A recent paper by Loehle & Scafetta (L&S 2011) in a journal known as the «Bentham Open Atmospheric Science Journal «(also discussed at Skeptical Science) presents some analysis using
regression to describe cycles in the global
mean temperature,
showing us many strange tricks one can do with curves and sinusoids, in something they call «empirical decomposition» (whatever that
means).
They draw a line on a graph
showing the rate of warming from that unnatural peak in 1998
to now, and make it look like warming has continued at a steady pace, and not accelerated as expected (an argument that would fail any Statistics 101 class, as it ignores «
regression to the
mean»).
The least - squares linear -
regression trend on the RSS satellite monthly global
mean surface temperature anomaly dataset continues
to show no global warming for 18 years 9 months since February 1997, though one - third of all anthropogenic forcings have occurred during the period of the Pause.
