But it appears that Brandon Shollenberger is the one that has subtracted
a significant warming trend from the GISS data... for some unfathomable reason... perhaps to make the BEST data look bad.

We assess the heat content change
from both of the long time series (0 to 700 m layer and the 1961 to 2003 period) to be 8.11 ± 0.74 × 1022 J, corresponding to an average
warming of 0.1 °C or 0.14 ± 0.04 W m — 2, and conclude that the available heat content estimates
from 1961 to 2003 show a
significant increasing
trend in ocean heat content.
It also doesn't help when you can go to climate4you.com and see a 350 year chart
from central England showing a long slight
warming trend, with no
significant deviations, over the time span.
The recent
warming has been more pronounced in the Arctic Eurasia than in many other regions on our planet, but Franzke (2012) argues that only one out of 109 temperature records
from this region exhibits a
significant warming trend.
4:38 p.m. Updated I read Mark Fischetti's piece on global
warming and hurricanes in Scientific American just now, which points to a recent PNAS study finding «a statistically
significant trend in the frequency of large surge events»
from tropical cyclones in the Atlantic.
Because the long - term
warming trends are highly
significant relative to our estimates of the magnitude of natural variability, the current decadal period of stable global mean temperature does nothing to alter a fundamental conclusion
from the AR4:
warming has unequivocally been observed and documented.
which shows
warming trends resulting
from the cooling of early 20th century volcanism is still ongoing to a
significant but diminishing extent into the 1950s.
Tung & Zhou in their analysis are removing a
significant portion of the global
warming from the global
warming, artificially decreasing the
trends.
A «pause» in the global temperature
trend can be diagnosed, when both of the following criteria are fulfilled: a) based on a robust statistical analysis, the global temperature
trend is not statistically distinguishable
from the Zero
trend, b) based on a robust statistical analysis, the global temperature
trend is statistically distinguishable
from the longer - term, multi-decadal
warming trend (which itself is highly statistically
significant).

trend For the UAH satellite data shown below, the
trend and 95 % confidence levels for data since 1979 shows statistically
significant warming:
Trend: 0.138 ± 0.070 °C / decade (2σ) For the data
from 1998 and 1999
Trend: 0.060 ± 0.223 °C / decade (2σ)
Trend: 0.146 ± 0.212 °C / decade (2σ) That is, for the data since 1998 the
trend has a 95 % probability of being between cooling of 0.163 and
warming of 0.283 °C / decade.
Again, no
significant trend of the global averaged Gaa [atmospheric greenhouse effect] is found
from 2003 to 2014 (Fig. 2) because the enhanced
warming effect over the western tropical Pacific is largely counteracted by the weakened
warming influence on the central tropical Pacific.
Further, if you decrease the significance level
from 95 % to something like 85 %, the
warming trend is again
significant.
We assess the heat content change
from both of the long time series (0 to 700 m layer and the 1961 to 2003 period) to be 8.11 ± 0.74 × 1022 J, corresponding to an average

Marcott paper Basically the folks at RC have probably made poor ol Marcott respond that the uptick did not matter anyway its not important,
significant, robust etc don't rely on it just forget about it please etc but unfortunately for them as Ross MC on Realclimate reply, at CA says «But that is precisely what they do in Figure 3 of their paper, and it is the basis of their claim that «Global temperature, therefore, has risen
from near the coldest to the
warmest levels of the Holocene within the past century, reversing the long - term cooling
trend that began ~ 5000 yr B.P.» Without the uptick in their proxy reconstruction this kind of statement could never have been made.
You appear slightly dismissive of a recent
trend of «15 years or so» compared to the «decades before» and the «statistically
significant upward -
warming trend»
from the mid-seventies.
ie, a look at the actual temperature in the central england data set
from the 1600's, would give a null hypothesis for any
significant observable human AGW signature (ie a low % of AGW) as there only appear to be a gradual
warming trend from a period known as the «little ice age».
So if Eric could somehow justify doing so, our West Antarctic
trend would increase
from 0.10 Deg C / decade to 0.16 Deg C / decade, and the area of statistically
significant trends would grow to cover the WAIS divide, yielding statistically
significant warming over 56 % (instead of 33 %) of West Antarctica.
When is all the
warming supposed to have happened then that made the
trend from 1980 to today as clearly statistically
significant?
Werner Brozek: What you are missing is the fact that just because the
trend since a certain time is not statistically -
significant does not mean that global
warming has stopped at that time, particularly when the difference of the
trend from the longer term
trend is not statistically -
significant either.
This was
significant, said Carrington, «because the rate of global
warming from 2000 - 2009 is lower than the 0.16 C per decade
trend seen since the late 1970s -LSB-...] the
warming rate for the past 10 years is estimated at 0.08 - 0.16 C».
The problem is the latest reanalysis is
from 2005 and there were
significant errors uncovered that reveal a
significant warming trend.
They find that, with an enlarged data set that has corrections for bias between drifting buoy data and data taken
from ship intakes, as well as extended corrections for water cooling in buckets in the time between being drawn
from the sea and being measured, there is a statistically
significant warming trend of 0.086 °C per decade over the 1998 - 2012 period.
On the other hand, the «pause» is being tested by analyzing whether the shorter - term temperature
trend is a non-random deviation
from the longer - term global
warming trend, which itself, as we know, is statistically
significant.
The point they make may be summarized by the following quote: «While in the observations such breaks in temperature
trend are clearly superimposed upon a century time - scale
warming presumably due to anthropogenic forcing, those breaks result in
significant departures
from that
warming over time periods spanning multiple decades.»
Jan Perliwtz wrote I do not have any problems at all with efforts to explain short - term variability, even if the deviations
from the medium
warming trend are not statistically
significant.
When I said «There are also
significant positive minimum temperature biases
from urban heat islands that add a
trend bias up to 0.2 C nationwide to raw readings», I should have said «There are also
significant positive minimum temperature biases
from urban heat islands, with urban stations
warming up to 0.2 C faster than rural stations».
I do not have any problems at all with efforts to explain short - term variability, even if the deviations
from the medium
warming trend are not statistically
significant.
In other words, any deviations
from an unchanging linear
warming trend are explained by the influence of ENSO, volcanoes and solar variability... It is worthy of note that for all five adjusted data sets, 2009 and 2010 are the two hottest years on record... All five data sets show statistically
significant warming even for the time span
from 2000 to the present.»
Summary of how they got to this finding: They use CMIP models which, if not outright flawed, have not proved their validity in estimated temperature levels in the 2030 to 2070 timeframe, are used as the basis for extrapolations that assert the creation of more and more 3 - sigma «extreme events» of hot weather; this is despite the statistical contradiction and weak support for predicting
significant increases in outlier events based on mean increases; then, based on statistical correlations between mortality and extreme heat events (ie heat waves), temperature
warming trends are conjured into an enlargement of the risks
from heat events; risks increase significantly only by ignoring obvious adjustments and mitigations any reasonable community or person would make to adapt to
warmer weather.
The blue 1 - year (12 - month)
trends show the dramatic global
warming trend reversal over the most recent months -
from a peak in March 2016 to what now amounts to being a
significant cooling
trend by October 2016.
No
significant trends are found, as the model mean is indistinguishable
from zero, with contamination providing at most a
warming of 0.1 °C (− 0.04 °C to 0.06 °C) over the 20th century.
There seems to be an unwritten assumption among some that if someone can find a statistically
significant departure
from trend then that would prove Co2 isn't really
warming the planet.
Phil Jones did not say that there «had been no
significant warming» he was misquoted
from a discussion of the statistical significance of the
trend.
