No, it isn't. You don't know what you're talking about.

The grey area is the full range of model projections, not the margin of error. Unfortunately for you, the test for AGW is how the observed data compare with the average of the CMIP5 run. You can see for yourself that the observed data -- even in this El Nino year -- fall far short of the average, exactly as I have been telling you all along.

The predictions have been spectacularly wrong.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting to hear your final word on the HadCRUT reported anomaly for 2015 (so far). Is it 0.68 or 0.809?

We know Frankfooter's response but you keep evading the question.
Wow. You once again argue with the graphs you posted. The data fits withing that spread.

This would be end of story if you had a shred of honesty on this topic.

Gavin Schmidt that reputable and honest resource on climate change? Haha. Won't even debate Roy Spencer. What a chicken shit.

Yep, scientists are unreliable. That must be why moviefan posted him as a source. Then again, he has a long history of posting sources that refute his claims.


You, movie, and K really should move to the 9/11 thread.

On this particular subject, you are totally clueless.

The observed anomalies may fit within the bottom of the range of projections but they are nowhere near the CMIP5 average that was the basis for the predictions. The Guardian graph shows the same thing as the National Post graph -- that the predictions were spectacularly wrong.

I'm not arguing with the graphs. Quite the opposite -- the graphs confirm what I have been saying all along.

By the way, if you had any manners, you would have thanked me for providing the answer about the 2015 anomaly for HadCRUT4, since you and Groggy clearly weren't able to figure it out.

Thank you for confirming in this post that the present temperatures fit within the range of projections made by the IPCC.

That confirms that the IPCC projections are accurate, even according to you.

Wrong.

The temperature anomalies fit within the range of the models. More specifically, the models that projected that huge increases in man-made greenhouse gases wouldn't lead to any significant warming were correct.

However, the IPCC's predictions -- such as the 2007 prediction of a 0.2 degrees C per decade increase -- were based on the average of the models.

The IPCC's predictions have been spectacularly wrong. The graphs confirm it:

What is it that you are trying to claim here?
Your grammar is so bad that its really, really unclear.

If you tone it down and write a question in coherent english, without needless insults to either me or NASA, I'll consider answering it.
This is amusing. The guy who doesn't know the difference between the words "flat" and "flattening" is calling for others to use coherent English (and managed to spell "English" wrong while he was doing it).

I'LL give you one last chance to be a man on this subject,...

The original post that I made,...#303,...was regarding the graph from one of the many links you constantly spam,...but never actually read.
The graph that UNEMPLOYABLE at NASA referenced,...was regarding rising ocean levels.

The graph the THE UNEMPLOYABLE at NASA referenced, showed that the oceans have been rising at a constant rate since 1870,...

My comment was,... after 147 years of constant increases,... which they claim has been caused by man in 1870,...they expect that this can now some how be stopped ,...I think even you,...know that is ridiculous,...well maybe not.
I'm still trying to understand what your claim is.

You now think that the oceans are rising as a result of climate change and there is no way to stop it?
Which means you accept that anthropogenic climate change is occurring and is drastically changing the planet.

Correct?

You need to check your sources.
Post - Ross Mckitrick, not credible.
Guardian - your link doesn't go to the graph from the Guardian article, here is the Guardian article. This just proves that you really can't read a graph if you think its the same.
http://www.theguardian.com/environm...-right-in-line-with-climate-model-predictions

Meanwhile, the argument should end with this statement by you:
The temperature anomalies fit within the range of the models.
In other words, the IPCC projections are accurate.

My link goes to the graph that was used in the article, rather than linking to the article itself. That's because the article has a headline and some statements that are detached from reality.

The actual graph confirms the predictions were spectacularly wrong without the misleading editorial content.

Because you know nothing about science or how to read a graph (eg., 0.809 degrees :D), 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.

More comedy gold.

You ask me for an updated chart, I link you one in the Guardian article.
Then, what do you do but link to an older version of the chart and claim the it isn't up to date.

Comedy gold.
Here is the chart and info showing that the IPCC predictions are accurate.
http://www.theguardian.com/environm...-right-in-line-with-climate-model-predictions

They are accurate, as you also admitted.
The temperature anomalies fit within the range of the models.

By the way, NOAA says that August had an 0.88ºC anomaly and that the year to date is now 0.84ºC.
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201508

You are still losing the bet.

Nonsense. You haven't provided any link to that graph other than linking to the article itself, which is useless because of its rubbish headline and some of the erroneous statements in the article.

I linked to the most recent graph available on Gavin Schmidt's Twitter page. If there's a more recent version (without the bullshit headline and article), go ahead and link to it. It makes no difference to me, as it shows the same thing.

The graph confirms the temperature anomalies are nowhere near the CMIP5 average that was the basis for the IPCC's predictions. The IPCC's predictions were spectacularly wrong.

I say it's time for you to put or shut up, Frankfooter.

If you want to settle the bet now, that's fine with me. You just let me know.
NOAA has the year to date at 0.84ºC, NASA doesn't publish one.
I can wait until the end of the year for the final number.

The Guardian doesn't allow linking just the graphic, you have to link to the article.
The headline isn't 'misleading' its totally accurate and it contains the charts and info to show it.

Right. So the most up-to-date graph that can be posted without the rubbish article is the one I provided.

Exactly what I said.

And it shows the IPCC's predictions have been spectacularly wrong.

NASA publishes monthly anomalies. It's easy to calculate who won and who lost.

We can settle the bet now if you want. Put up or shut up.

We can settle now with the NOAA published year to date average, if you like.
Otherwise we wait until NASA republishes their chart with 2015, as per the bet.

The Guardian is the only one that has 2015 to date included.

2015 global temperatures are right in line with climate model predictions
And just as you admit.

It sure looks like somebody lost his bravado rather quickly.
