Comment on Trends, change points & hypotheses by Herman Alexander Pope
The arctic is open, the snows have started and temperature is at or near the peak. Earth is about as warm as it usually gets in a modern warm period. http://popesclimatetheory.com/page27.html

It’s always progress when Dr. Curry makes it to Climate Depot; http://www.climatedepot.com/ Who, what and why there are sausage makers should be clarified but it is progress.

You cannot change a person’s mind by just telling them something one time. You must tell them more than once and point them toward data that supports your position. This still don’t work if they don’t...

Paul S [8th@8.26am] - Fair point. I can’t argue with that so I’d better take it on the chin. Thanks for the clarification.

I think this linear vs. nonlinear change distinction is perhaps a false dilemma. It’s rather like the theory of ‘punctuated equilibria’ in evolutionary biology. The fossil record shows periods of...

dude I don’t think the observed reduction in relative humidity with rising temperature implies a negative water vapor feedback, just a less strongly positive water vapor feedback than has been...

i still keep thinking the place to start is explaining how it might affect the cloud response. the absolute magnitude of that is so large. maybe i should keep on banging this drum. i’m sure CH think’s...

Manaker, my reply was basically that we are not limited to observations of temperature. It’s physics which leads us to think that this isn’t just cycles. Looking at nothing at all but the temperature...

Just a remark to the article by Jonathan Leake. If one picks 1998 as the "start date" for the current cycle of "lack of warming", one arrives at an essentially flat trend (Met Office tells us:...

EM radiation has a frequency of course. Wien’s Displacement Law links an emitting temperature to peak frequency. In that sense frequency indicates temperature of the emitting source, assuming it is...
