Nonsense.No, you keep trying to claim the bet needs to be 'adjusted' from the number we bet on, 0.83ºC.
When we made the bet in May, NASA's reported anomaly for 2014 was 0.68ºC. We bet on whether it would finish at 0.83ºC by the end of 2015 -- a minimum increase of 0.15ºC.
That 0.15ºC has not been "adjusted." It's the same number from the original bet, and it needs no adjusting, as NASA's "updated" anomalies for the current years have all been "updated" in the same way.
The 0.15ºC increase saves everyone the trouble of looking at the graphs and trying to understand the adjustments. It is a clean, 100% legitimate number -- and clearly greater than NASA's reported increase of 0.13ºC.
The only reason Frankfooter doesn't like it is that it explicitly shows -- even to those who aren't strong in math (such as Frankfooter) -- that Frankfooter lost the bet.

To expand on my post from this morning, let's examine the results from all the various angles.
-- Using the pre-adjusted graph and the 1995 anomaly as the starting point: https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...obal-warming&p=5429544&viewfull=1#post5429544
The result: Frankfooter lost.
-- Using the pre-adjusted graph and the 2014 anomaly as the starting point: https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...obal-warming&p=5429544&viewfull=1#post5429544
The result: Frankfooter lost.
- Using the adjusted graph and the 1995 anomaly as the starting point: https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-warming-bet&p=5456581&viewfull=1#post5456581
The result: Frankfooter lost.
- Using the adjusted graph and the 2014 anomaly as the starting point: https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-warming-bet&p=5455248&viewfull=1#post5455248
The result: Frankfooter lost.
- Using the year-over-year increase from the original bet and comparing it with the reported increase in NASA's news release: https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...-warming-bet&p=5456182&viewfull=1#post5456182
The result: Frankfooter lost.
Every analysis produces the same result.
Frankfooter lost.
The matter is settled.
