Meanwhile, the argument should end with this statement by you:
In other words, the IPCC projections are accurate.
Because you know nothing about science or how to read a graph (eg., 0.809 degrees
), you don't understand what you're talking about.
Indeed, you're so obsessed with trying to defend the IPCC and the models that you've completely lost sight of the big picture. Since you seem to have forgotten, the debate is whether or not there is any evidence of anthropogenic global warming.
The reality is that
both of these statements are true:
1) The Gavin Schmidt graph shows most of the temperature anomalies are within the full range of model projections (actually, some of the recorded anomalies are below the bottom end of the grey area).
2) The Gavin Schmidt graph shows the IPCC's predictions were spectacularly wrong.
It's not a case of one or the other. Both statements are true, as the models cover an enormous range of projected outcomes while the IPCC's predictions were based on the average of those model projections (you continue to evade this fact, but it is a fact nonetheless).
However, when it comes to the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming, it is only the second point that matters.
You test a hypothesis by measuring how well the predictions align with the observed data.
Based on the average of the models, the IPCC predicted that increases in man-made greenhouse gas emissions would lead to significant increases in the Earth's temperature. The Schmidt graph confirms the IPCC's predictions were spectacularly wrong.
The fact that a few models correctly projected that increases in man-made greenhouse gases
wouldn't lead to warming does nothing for the AGW argument.
