How to Become a Conservative in Four Embarrassing Steps

Figure 6: Average of all five data sets (GISS, NCDC, HadCRU, UAH, and RSS) with the effects of ENSO, solar irradiance, and volcanic emissions removed (Foster and Rahmstorf 2011)
I love the scale of the y-axis on this chart and also this statement: 'with the effects of ENSO, solar irradiance, and volcanic emissions removed (Foster and Rahmstorf 2011)" Thank the Lord all five data sets were "adjusted". And thank you for a good laugh! :D
 
I assume piezoe has me on ignore. Otherwise he would know that he is making a fool of himself and would not continue to say ridiculous things.
This is an example where you and gbw are both right. It is clear that ice has receded in some spots and grown in others. You are certainly correct, melting ice does not lie, and disappearing ice cover indicates warming in that area of the Earth. It does not tell us what is causing the warming, and it does not tell us what is going on elsewhere on the Earth. The concern is global warming not regional ice cap warming per se, and as we all know the Earth does not warm or cool uniformly. It is difficult to learn what the overall trend is, if any. Our most reliable data, though it could be subject to systematic error, of course, is coming from remote sensing satellites. That data is telling us, within reasonable confidence limits, that there has been no measurable net warming or cooling for nearly two decades.

Piezoe, this kind of post just boggles my mind. Not that I should be surprised. But what surprises me is how reasonable you are on other topics. It's like you are bipolar or something.

Blind spot.

So are you telling us that you don't understand the point of the study?

At this point I must assume that you are not intellectually honest at all. The comment on the y axis is telling, as is the fact that you willfully ignore the point, which is that without natural inputs to the warming trend, the warming trend deviation is quite small.

I thought you were supposed to be a smart guy? What's going on?

IOW, you are shocked that he breaks from the "leftist" playbook on occasion...

OTOH, it's quite common amongst your adversaries...You couldn't get all of us to sit around and defend the so-called "right wing" like our lives depended upon it.
