It turned out things were far more nuanced (as he later said, «The Earth system may be less responsive

Many local factors influence the observed temperature: whether a station is in a valley with cold air drainage, whether the station is a liquid - in - glass thermometer in a standard wooden shelter or an electronic thermometer in the new smaller and more open plastic shelters, whether the station reads and resets its maximum and minimum thermometers in the coolest time of the day in early morning or
in the warmest time of the day in the afternoon, etc..

My interpretation of Figure 23c (two points at bottom right of chart) is that a warming rate
in warm times of 0.2 K / year and 0.225 K / year is equally likely; the probability is a bit above 0.001 (or about once in every 500 to 1000 years).
And that's comforting because that means the Earth system may be less responsive
in the warm times than it was in the cold times.
In the warmest times sea level rose a few meters above today's level, but it took time, as climate forcings were weak and changed slowly.»
That's true: levels have been known to jump around from about 200 to 400 ppm during colder periods (such as our present time), up to thousands of parts per million
in warmer times, but this happens on a scale of millions of years.
