The silly thing is that the whole exercise was and is pointless. You might just as well have analysed actual surface temperatures, but of course, this would have achieved just as little.
What are you trying to achieve? Can you think of a single benefit from this whole “climate change” charade?
It seems you are convinced that the world is somehow “warming”, in spite of four and a half billion years of evidence to the contrary. The only minor problem with your efforts at peering into the future is that you can’t actually provide anything useful. When, where, how much, quantifiable effects – all these seem to be of supreme indifference to such as yourself.
Even the most pedestrian psychic or astrologer will give you specifics – the tall dark handsome stranger, the four children, future prosperity, and all the rest. At least there is something positive to look forward to, even if it is all complete guesswork – nonsense, even.
You and your lot predict only gloom, disaster and despair. What a bleak and joyless world you would have us all live in! Or are we all supposed to go back to pre industrial times? Is this your vision of the Golden Age?
You claim the debate is over. The masses may care to differ. If you wish to continue the debate, some people claim that mass debating to excess will send you blind, or give you hairy palms.
I’m not sure whether measurebators suffer the same consequences.
Cheers.
