The bogus "warming ended in 1998" was run its course so much that even the die-hard denialists have a hard time with that one. No doubt they will feel invigorated by any descent from our current levels. The true question to ask then is when will any year be cooler than anything before 1997?Basilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-31998345170140644602016-03-16T14:44:28.766-06:002016-03-16T14:44:28.766-06:00Year-to-year variability coupled with measurement ...Year-to-year variability coupled with measurement uncertainty does make it difficult to track global warming on annual timescales, however I disagree that we need to wait ~15 years for every atmospheric spike to see if it is continuing like Siegel states. We should be estimating the heat content of the entire climate system, where warming has been shown to be dominated by ocean warming, which has far less 5-10 year variability: https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/3M_HEAT_CONTENT/.Adam Varblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991968453822376063noreply@blogger.com
