Your measurements - inaccurate though they may be - are orders of magnitude more reliable than the figures 'deduced' from tree rings which are used at the other end of the comparison.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-40351194077211609222013-09-21T11:21:08.284+01:002013-09-21T11:21:08.284+01:00Sackers and Mark - I tend to see this problem as ...Sackers and Mark - I tend to see this problem as yet another reason to be sceptical and even cynical about policy-led conclusions. <br /><br />At the moment, the climate itself is beginning to direct this debate, not science or climate models.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-80545972614295253652013-09-21T08:18:51.529+01:002013-09-21T08:18:51.529+01:00Mark - except that if the effects over a few years...Mark - except that if the effects over a few years are so small and measurements are so unreliable, there's some question about the reality of the effects.<br /><br />Not that I don't think the precautionary principle isn't important.<br /><br />Though we might be able to do something to mitigate global warming, what would we do if the evidence suggested global cooling?Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-72735380854834577342013-09-20T22:58:11.938+01:002013-09-20T22:58:11.938+01:00Scientists are predicting about a 5 degree increas...Scientists are predicting about a 5 degree increase in global mean temperature over the next 200 to 500 years. That's at most 0.025 degrees per year, on average. <br /><br />During a year where I live, the temperature ranges from -15 degrees to +30. Scientists are not predicting warming by looking for 0.025 degree changes amongst all that noise.<br /><br />Inaccuracies in direct temperature measurement have nothing to do with anything.Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-44811476805031227192013-09-20T19:28:37.153+01:002013-09-20T19:28:37.153+01:00That's worrying - and humbling for big-picture...That's worrying - and humbling for big-picture climate scientists.
