Remember when Roy Spencer was the kind of denier who invented an unscientific and arbitrary fit to the data just to imply there was a decline?
We stopped that real quick, pointing out that his entertainment implied the world would end in January 2171.
He got the message and ended his "entertaining third-order polynomial." Shame when you have to teach a scientist how to be scientific.
Of course, there has been a lot of warming since.

An "entertaining" thought: how many people did climate denialists kill via Hurricane Helene? Say, to the nearest factor of 10 human beings? Too soon to ask?
Wow. I hadn't looked recently. The current warming spike is staggering. 3rd order polynomial gives 6C warming in 50 years at this point, if I'm not mistaken.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNick Stokes (Moyhu) has posted the flaw(s) in Roy Spencer's use of regression statistics to show there has been no significant trend in the intensity of hurricanes making Florida landfall.
