We bet on a number, not a formula.
You have proven my point. You have confirmed that you believe that 83 km per hour and 83 mph are the "exact same" speed because they both have the number "83" in them.
Of course, you keep insisting that we bet on a 0.83ºC anomaly for 2015 at a time when NASA was reporting that the anomaly for 2014 was 0.68ºC. And yet -- somehow -- you simultaneously insist that we didn't bet that the anomaly would increase by 0.15ºC from 2014 to 2015, which would mean that we didn't bet on 0.83ºC.
It's confusing trying to keep up with Frankfooter's lunacy.
Here's the current tally. Frankfooter says:
-- I agreed to use (some of) the new NASA numbers in the terms of the bet / I agreed to continue the bet as it stood with no changes.
-- We bet that the temperature anomaly would increase in 2015 to 0.83ºC / We didn't bet that the temperature anomaly would increase in 2015 to 0.83ºC.
-- NASA's data sets are the "exact same" / NASA's updated graph has "new NASA numbers".
-- You have to make adjustments when you compare numbers from different data sets / You don't have to make adjustments when you compare numbers from different data sets.

Here's what I know.
When we made the bet in May 2015, we bet on whether the final 2015 anomaly would be 0.83ºC -- a 0.15ºC increase over the 2014 anomaly of 0.68ºC.
Since then, the methodology and the data changed. The new NASA data set that Franky is using puts the 2014 anomaly at 0.74ºC and shows the 2015 anomaly to be 0.84ºC -- an increase of only 0.10ºC.
The increase in the new NASA numbers is only
two-thirds of the minimum 0.15ºC increase that we bet on.
Franky can keep welching on the bet. Regardless, the fact remains that the IPCC's predictions continue to be spectacularly wrong.
