That is why, forty years after the initial Assessment was rendered as to the severity of the Greenhouse Situation, for President Carter by the Academy of Sciences, as computers have evolved from the Stone Age to the i - phone, and despite @ least a thousand-fold more time on task with both field and heuristic climatic studies, the original uncertainties between the Two sides to the Tug of War, that is, PLUS 50 % OR MINUS 50 %, have not wavered much.

The past year, according to the NASA group (the «meteorological year» from December through November), is between the 7th and 12th warmest (because of the range of uncertainty in readings) since systematic meteorological record - keeping began in 1880.

The two agencies use slightly different methods, so they have different readings for the difference between 2014 and the previous warmest year, 2010, with N.O.A.A. putting it at 0.07 degrees Fahrenheit (0.04 degrees Celsius), while NASA got 0.036 degrees (0.02 Celsius)-- which this analysis says is well «within uncertainty of measurement.»

Based on results from large ensemble simulations with the Community Earth System Model, we show that internal variability alone leads to a prediction uncertainty of about two decades, while scenario uncertainty between the strong (Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5) and medium (RCP4.5) forcing scenarios [possible paths for greenhouse gas emissions] adds at least another 5 years.

«In contrast, the difference between, say, the second and sixth warmest years is trivial since the known uncertainty — or noise — in the temperature measurement is larger than some of the differences between the warmest years.»

To elaborate slightly on my above point, the cause / effect relationship between CO2 and temperature derived from data spanning more than 400 million years, and operating within uncertainty margins that can be quantified with reasonable probability requires the existence of a prominent CO2 signal in the record of the past half century.

That means the uncertainty in temperature measurements can be larger than the difference between individual years, which typically comes down to just a few hundredths of a degree.

Hence, the panel concludes that at least part of the observed disparity between the 20 - year changes in surface and mid-tropospheric temperature is probably real, but the measurement, modeling, and sampling uncertainties alluded to above make it difficult to precisely attribute the disparity to any particular sources.

I was pointing out that this is increasingly the challenge to the climate consensus that is voiced in public, per Carlson in the video, and that this approach will increasingly help expose the gap between the narrative of certain calamity (whatever its touted threshold du jour, which has changed over the years and may continue to do so) and the reality of what is knowable even in the way that the IPCC defines this knowability (let alone what is knowable when taking approaches to uncertainty such as that of our host here).

Hence on a niggardly small amount of uncertainty of + / -0.6 °C, the annual mean global surface temperature for 1909 could be as high as 14.03 °C, the annual mean global surface temperature for 2014 could as low as 13.98 °C, and all the others years between 1880 could have a mean global surface temperature of somewhere in between 14.03 °C and 13.98 °C.
