I would just like to share with you a thought. Having calculated that there should have been around 0.6C warming during the pause, I was just musing what the chances of getting this warming be coincidence would be. And I suddenly thought “it warms or cools by about 0.1C per decade by chance … so what is the chance of having 6 decades in a row to get 0.6C? It’s 1/2^6 = 1/128.
But this is the humorous bit – I then realised that in those six decades the target would have risen to 1.8C. So, then I thought “what if I use the higher end of warming we’ve seen of 0.2C …. then I thought what is the maximum multi-decadal warming we’ve seen. It is of course from 1690-1730 in CET when we saw about 0.5C/decade. So, now the chance is that we’ve seen (at least 4) decades of 0.5C warming over 35 decades. So, the chance increases to 4/35 = 11% (however we might expect regional variation to be greater).
So, I think we can safely say the upper chance of the actual temperature (not the fraudulent surface data) showing warming of >0.5C per decade is 10%. As warming is as likely as cooling (give or take a few ice-ages and CO2) the 50% probability is at 0C/decade. And as most years (from 1850 – in what I now know is fraudulent surface data) show around 0.1-0.2C warming or cooling, the 1 standard deviation must be around 0.1-0.2C/decade.
The minimal warming the extremists need is 0.3C (to account for two decades of pause) – but if that occurs in a decade, they will need around 0.45C (as it should have warmed even more). So they actually need >0.45C warming over the next decade.
At a rough guess, based on my figures, I would suggest around a 20% probability of 0.3C warming and nearer 10% of >0.45C of that minimum warming occurring by pure fluke (with no CO2 involvement).
So, my best estimate is that, by 2025 – there’s only a 10-20% chance that mother nature will give the climate criminals what they need to defend their claptrap.
As for CO2 warming
My best estimate is 0.5C warming for a doubling of CO2 – which will take many decades/centuries to come through. CET shows (suggests?) a 1/10 chance of 2C warming by pure chance. So, even if the REAL climate showed 2C warming in a very specific period of 4 decades, then the best we can say is that we are 90% confident that this short-term rise of 2C is not natural. But if we extend the period long enough it will always happen by chance – so the confidence falls dramatically over longer periods.
But even the massively adjusted data (so that all warming since 1940 is due to adjustments) only shows 0.8C warming, and not over a short period of a few decades but over the whole century (till the pause). That is the century of a massive change in measurements from manual to automated measurements. Even if we look for the most “obvious” trend in the period 1970-2000 (also the period of most heavy adjustments) it only shows 0.48C warming (which happens to be same as 1910-1940!). As I stated above, based on CET we would expect around 10% of decades to show this warming. So in 150 years we expect around 1-2 decades of 0.5C warming!!!
Even if we now saw two decades of 0.5C warming or cooling – it would just be “normal”!! (although I’d have to recheck the scale of variability between CET and global – all the more difficult when the surface data is fraudulent!)
So, to summarise – I cannot think of any test – when we’ve already seen change, which could demonstrate the minuscule level of CO2 warming “expected” would be man-made. There would need to be more than 1C warming in a few decades (about 2C total warming) to say even with a modest certainty that the signal is human caused and not natural. In contrast, rather than warming we’ve seen “the Pause”. They needed fireworks – they got a cold shower!
Because there is a slight reduction in long term variability, we probably need around 100-1000 years of future data so that the scale of natural variability reduces sufficiently to “prove” any change of 2C was “human causation”.
In other words – unless I am completely wrong and the climate is subject to massive positive feedbacks for warming (so >1C warming in which case I’m probably dreaming this whole world as the world would have burned up yonks ago) … so in any real world (and not fraudulent data), there’s no chance of me ever knowing whether CO2 has had an effect within my lifetime.

…So, my best estimate is that, by 2025 – there’s only a 10-20% chance that mother nature will give the climate criminals what they need to defend their claptrap….
Alas, they no longer need to defend their claptrap. It is now accepted truth. All they need to do is to suppress any questioning of it…
