So you are claiming 1 degree since 1999? That is interesting since no less "august" bodies than the national academy of sciences and the IPCC only claim .2 degrees per decade for the past 30 years or so. Who exactly is claiming 5 times the amount of warming? http://www.pnas.org/content/103/39/14288.full Of course you aren't sure. I am sure that something as "trivial" as a margin of error in a claimed temperature rise never even entered into your thought process. I am not claiming that the change is not anthropogenic. I am claiming that with a margin of error several times larger than the temperature increase being claimed, how can you be sure that there is, in fact, any temperature change at all? If I tell you that I will give you a dollar but I might be overestimating the amount of money I can give you by as much as 4 dollars, how much money do you really expect to get from me? If the margin of error is larger than the temperature increase being claimed, of what value, exacltly (other than political) is the point of making a claim at all?
