Met Office: Hottest February on Record

Hmm, so 'a clue' is the same as 'facts'. What are the error bars on our graph of world temperature 0-1800 or so?

Sufficiently small to distinguish a clear trend from multiple independent sources of evidence.

Look, estimates of uncertainty based on the accuracy of proxies during the instrumental period

I don't know enough about the science so I used the word clue. I am sure if I had said fact you would have picked up on that and demanded I provide evidence that I know it's a fact and then you'd probably have something to say about that too.

You could've chosen not to post if you don't have the answers

Anyway I think I'm bored of playing climate-denier now. I wondered how easy and fun it would be... very, hardly at all.

The proxy and the instruments diverged significantly in the final section. This section was deleted and replaced with the instrumental record.

You're going to back that up with evidence, contrary to the article itself, aren't you, BlasterTrump (including a link that you can read)?

Consistent multi-decadal variability in global temperature reconstructions and simulations over the Common Era

The medieval warm period seems a misnomer. Should they have called it medieval climate period?

As an aside, BB, I find it hilarious that you image thousands of scientists (who rarely reach consensus on anything) can be conspiring against you.

I presume you're a rabid anti-vaxxer too, BB. Or perhaps you trust some science, but only if it doesn't conflict with your world view and investment choices.

Not all of these events were global or synchronous, so they don't appear in global averages that way. In many cases, the peaks and lows were experienced at opposite times in different places, which flattens the global average.

If you'd bothered to read the paper you'd just posted you'd see it confirms it.

Thx for that.

Oil stocks doing well.

CO2 emissions are good for the bank account.
