Dear Leo Lane,
Well could I invite you to look at it and give me your opinion. Here is the link again. http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/rss/from:1997/trend Would you see it as a valid piece of evidence that the global temperature trend is down. This is obviously a site trusted by Cohenite and he evidently feels it is an important part of the puzzle. What I am really trying to get a handle on is what type information you particularly are prepared to entertain. This is what the author says; “Please note: I have no particular axe to grind in the "Global Warming Debate" one way or the other. Indeed, as a life-long Green I think a shift to a efficient and sustainable way of life is a Good Thing whether or not CO2 is a significant problem in and of itself. My aim here is only to use what skills I have as a programmer to help others with greater domain knowledge to discover and debate what is happening. No angle, no hidden agenda. After 30 years of messing around with (and being messed around by) computers and complex software, I would just say this: Computers are great tools for helping you think; just never rely on them to do the thinking for you.” All very reasonable one would have thought. So does the site, the link to troposphere temperatures, and the author measure up for you? Posted by SteeleRedux, Saturday, 8 February 2014 11:53:27 PM

Why would I show you any manners.
You tried to denigrate me by comparing me to Neville Chamberlain but you used a quote that could only possibly have been attributed to Adolph Hitler. You were witless in that endeavour and Goebells like in your twisting and turning in refusing to apologise and withdraw your slurs. You just look more foolish trying to talk down to me, Witless.

Like Wood For Trees which steele is being tedious about other sources also show no temperature increase in 17 years such as Skeptical Science:
http://www.skepticalscience.com/trend.php The SKS calculator is also used by Werner Brozek in his straightforward analysis, assisted by Nick Stokes here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/11/03/statistical-significances-how-long-is-the-pause-now-includes-september-data/ Santer who warmair linked to earlier as proof of AGW, says that 17 years is evidence of climate significance: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2011JD016263/abstract So there you have it; the most reliable of the most reliable temperature indices, the satellites, RSS, shows no warming and in fact cooling for 17 years. People who still believe in AGW are smug dopes. Posted by cohenite, Sunday, 9 February 2014 8:47:10 AM

Steele, you have not disclosed the basis of your fraud backing.
Indirectly we know it is not science, so it must be some mental aberration. I have attempted a sensible interchange with you, but that is not possible. If you did try to contribute, thanks for your unsuccessful attempt Posted by Leo Lane, Sunday, 9 February 2014 10:02:23 AM

Here are more papers which rely primarily on observations to confirm global warming theory is correct.
http://agwobserver.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/papers-on-changes-in-olr-due-to-ghgs/ Cohenite Thanks for the link to the temperature calculator here:- http://www.skepticalscience.com/trend.php The link requires one to set start and end points and select temperature data. I choose start 1993 end 2007 Land data Best The result was:- Trend: 0.428 ±0.342 °C/decade (2σ) Now being a bit of a pessimist I like to consider the worst case scenario which is 0.75 deg C per decade or nearly 7.5 deg C over a century. Yes I unashamedly cherry picked the data now it is your turn. I will spit the difference with for you any continuous period greater than =>15 over the last 40 years using the calculator you linked to above. Posted by warmair, Sunday, 9 February 2014 1:53:45 PM

Jones has previously shown his support for the AGW fraud, so this effort is no surprise.
It is reminiscent of Hansen, the highly qualified activist, and his dishonest support of AGW.
All knowledge is provisional, and if you refer me to science which is at odds with my current opinion, I will change my opinion. How did you form your opinion? You have not been able to produce any science to support it, so what is your basis for supporting the AGW fraud backers?
