Bob Carter's Climate Myopia

Bob Carter, the self-described "climate rationalist scientist" is once again staring resolutely at the recent record of global average temperatures and, by carefully screening off anything but the last decade, is concluding that global warming has stopped cold.

This is a man who is periodically at pains to point out that weather, which happens from time to time, is different from climate, which is what we might expect to happen based on the historic record and, increasingly, on impressively accurate climate models. Carter is certainly among those who can be expected to complain when people identify a one-off weather event - the hurricane Katrina, for instance - as a symptom of global warming.

But somehow Carter's zest for "empirical evidence" returns when he sees a "flatline" of temperatures in the last 10 years, notwithstanding that eight of those 10 years are the hottest in recorded history. Yes, against the trends established through 120 years of careful human observation and 1,000+ years of proxy records, Dr. Carter is completely confident in saying that only the last 10 years count. What a sharp, and stunningly courageous, scientific mind.

It is, frankly, an honor to be called "trashy" by such a man.

Tamino over at Open Mind is a statistican specialising in time series analysis and has pulled Carter's claim apart.

In the comments that follow the usual trolls turn up talking/complaining about everything except actually Tamino's analysis.

About the climate cover-up

About the climate cover-up

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
