On the whole, the evidence indicates that model trends in the troposphere are very likely inconsistent with observations.

However, the models also predict unambiguously that the atmosphere is warming faster than the surface of the earth; but all the available observational data unambiguously shows the opposite!

It is absolutely essential that one should be neutral and not fall in love with the hypothesis.

On the whole, the evidence indicates that model trends in the troposphere are very likely inconsistent with observations.

One finds the truth by making a hypothesis and comparing observations with the hypothesis.

Truth in science is always determined from observational facts.

Indeed, scientific truth by consensus has had a uniformly bad history.
