Basic problem is that all models are wrong - not got enough middle and low level clouds.

I've just completed Mike's [Mann] Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's [Briffa] to hide the decline.

If anything, I would like to see the climate change happen, so the science could be proved right, regardless of the consequences. This isn’t being political, it is being selfish.

Bottom line: the ‘no upward trend’ has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.

In an odd way (the death of John Daly) is cheering news!

I'm getting hassled by a couple of people to release the CRU station temperature data. Don't any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Freedom of Information Act.

We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try to find something wrong with it.
