Yesterday, in response to the thread on “3 of 4 global metrics show nearly flat temperature anomaly in the last decade” I got a short note from MIT’s Richard Lindzen along with a graph. I asked if I could post it, and he graciously agreed:
Look at the attached. There has been no warming since 1997 and no
statistically significant warming since 1995. Why bother with the
arguments about an El Nino anomaly in 1998? (Incidentally, the red
fuzz represents the error ‘bars’.)
Best wishes,
Dick

The man has a point.
I appreciate the note, Dr. Lindzen.

Please show more graphs with truncated time-frames, and spuriously cherry-picked time years. [snip]
Forget the science, when a bit of hand-waving and a tricky graph can do so much more.
“No statistically significant rise since 1995” eh? But then isn’t that ALREADY statistically significantly higher than the reference period? And isn’t the trend upwards since then? So why the need to be a cheerleader for the intellectually bankrupt?
Good luck with your next website.
