I agree with your description and conclusion Ron.
There is no evidence in the data for most of the recent warming to be caused by man.
Ron, IPCC’s projection of 0.2 deg C warming is already outside the upper GMT band of 2*sigma as shown => http://bit.ly/HRvReF
For this, IPCC received a noble prize. World academy of sciences and prestigious scientific journals support this position.
If you look the global mean temperature (GMT) anomaly relative the climate pattern of the smoothed GMT, the anomaly only oscillates and its current value is zero as it is on the the smoothed GMT curve. The GMT anomaly does not always increase as shown by GISS and CRU. It only oscillates. It is wrong to refer GMTs relative a horizontal line of “base period 1961-90”
How sad. How very sad.
