Given that we only have two examples of this metric, the true systematic uncertainty is clearly larger than the simply the difference between them.

The new 17 - author paper (accessible pdf)(lead by Ben Santer), does a much better job of comparing the various trends in atmospheric datasets with the models and is very careful to take account of systematic uncertainties in all aspects of that comparison (unlike Douglass et al).

This is especially important because it eliminates many sources of systematic uncertainty.»

This is not simply the uncertainty in estimating the linear trend, but the more systematic uncertainty due to processing problems, drifts and other biases.
