Since there's no reason to think that the trend is linear, I didn't see a reason to keep updating linear trends year by year from start to present.<br /><br />carbon:<br />the 'good sign' is definitely a matter of the models + statistics working moderately well. If they do, then it suggests that we understand something about how this part of the climate system works. <br /><br />Whether this means good things or bad things for species (like Homo sapiens) that we are interested in is a different question entirely.Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-44948394888264115722012-05-14T17:53:18.946-04:002012-05-14T17:53:18.946-04:00I am not an expert on this stuff, but have become ...I am not an expert on this stuff, but have become a recent convert to the fact and reality that extreme climate change is occurring. Now, when you say its a good sign, do you mean the data itself is a good sign, or its just a good sign that the models are working. The latter is good for you guys and for enabling accurate scientific research, but the planet could still be screwed!carbon credit investmentshttp://www.greenworldbvi.com/alternative-investments-options/low-carbon/carbon-credits/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-57910572452156124342012-05-14T11:53:18.110-04:002012-05-14T11:53:18.110-04:00> 5.31 million km^2 -- Linear Trend Climatology...> 5.31 million km^2 -- Linear Trend Climatology 1979-2008<br /><br />You left off 1979-2010 Climatology.
