@Ionus,
You did? Could you please provide a link to where you stated which numbers are incorrect?
Quote:It was in the reference I gave you.
That's funny Ionus. You now want to reference others but attack me for doing that? Which standard to you hold yourself up to Ionus?
Quote:Ah, parados, it must be liberating to understand nothing of Global Warming but to still have an opinion. If measurements are inaccurate and there are only two directions data can trend in, assuming it hasnt by complete accident been exactly accurate, then it can either reflect hotter or colder values. It is called a 50-50 chance and to chose between them is called a guess.
a 50/50 chance? Yet 2 sets of numbers and thousands of scientists checking the calculations all lead to the same result. You don't seem to know what 50/50 means when it comes to likelihood of the numbers being wrong.
There is a 50/50 chance of EACH temperature reading being wrong. With 1200-1800 temperature readings over 100-15o years for each point on the grid and 8000 grid points on the globe. What is the likelihood of 9,600,000 - 14,400,000 readings all being wrong in the fashion to show warming? It isn't 50/50.
If we use your logic Ionus, the odds of winning the lottery would be 50/50 because you can only win/lose. That however, is not the way statistics work.

It's nice to see you don't resort to childish "thuggery" in the discussion.
1. You have misused numbers claiming millions of data points leads to a 50/50 chance of the trend being wrong. Even a HS statistics course would tell you that is incorrect and you are off by a factor of more than a million. The odds would more likely be 1 in 2^9,600,000.
2. You have failed to provide any evidence of a scientific nature. Your opinion can't even explain away basic science and you don't bother to even try. Since CO2 absorbs infrared that means it heats up when it does it. I will state that is my opinion based on the scientific literature, when more Co2 molecules are added to an air mixture then more heat is absorbed in the range that CO2 absorbs IR. You either have to show that CO2 doesn't absorb energy or you have to tell us that the energy doesn't cause an increase in temperature in violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
