The Problem With Science: It's Not Credible


Recommended Posts

Yes, now please answer my question. 

 

Pogi and Mola have both answered with no effect, I have no reason to believe an answer from me would be any different.

How? tell me which post, perhaps I missed it.

 

You never answer my questions anyways. 

 

The fact that you have to ask that question show you are not paying attention to anyone who disagrees with you.

 

I have already had my lessons in futility and have been conditioned to only go down the rabbit hole for a short distance.

I do, in fact I may be wrong about the air land surface warming.

 

You never pay attention to what I say, you always dismiss what I say. 

 

You can accuse me of always dismissing other reasonable points of view, but that doesn't make it true.

The 4 warmest years were likely after 1998, do yo agree? 

 

That is the most likely out of all the unlikely scenarios, but that doesn't make it "likely" (I repeat myself in saying this)...happy?  I just can't stand the tension any longer, where are you going with this?

CFR that is not accurate, it is not an unlikely scenario.  You are not understanding what NASA and NOAA are saying. 

 

It is more unlikely that the 4 warmest years are between 1880 to 1998, that is a very unlikely scenario. 

 

see the data, I am not getting my info from a skeptic website that tries to interpret what NASA and NOAA are saying

 

http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v3/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt

 

In fact better measurements of global temperatures started after the year 2000 

 

My point is that your so-called pause is highly unlikely

Rofl. I already responded. I will type it out differently so this time you catch it.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha... Mola Ram and I are both rofl!

 

Do you really want a CFR for what has been posted here a dozen times?

 

Remember?  2014 only has about a 38% chance of being warmer than 1880 (translation - unlikely), and only a 15% chance of being warmer than 2010 (translation - very unlikely).  1998 only has around a 4% chance of being warmer than 1880 (translation - very, very unlikely) etc, etc. 

 

2014 - 38%

2010 - 23 %

2005 - 17%

1998 - 4%

 

Do you understand how probabilities work? In case you don't know how to interpret those percentages, a link has been thrown around here a half dozen times as well:

 

 
For your convenience:
 
33.3% - 50% (now compare to the percentages above) = “more unlikely than likely”.
 
My point is that your so-called pause is highly unlikely 

 

???  Look at the calculated probabilities after accounting for all data variables from 1880 - 2014. You are flat out embarrassingly wrong.

2014 - 38%

2010 - 23 %

2005 - 17%

1998 - 4%

 

The other years together make about 1%, what is so hard to understand about that?

So that proves that it is more likely that the top four are from 1998 to 2014, you been reading too many skeptics websites. 

 

the chance of 2014 being "One of the five warmest years: 90.4%"- NOAA

"The graphic on the right zooms further to compare with what were ultimately the five next warmest years on record: 2010, 2005, 1998, 2003, and 2013." - NOAA

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/2014/13/supplemental/page-2

 

 2014 is almost certainly one of the 5 hottest years, so how is your so-called pause more likely? 

 

The numbers (together) before 1998 have a very low probability, so please don't accuse me of not understanding probabilities, I do. 

 

I admit that 2014 is not likely the  hottest year, but it is very likely it is one of the five warmest years. 

2010 is also very likely to be one of the five warmest years, the top 4 are more likely after 1998.

Can you refute it?  Show me how how the pause is "highly unlikely" using the percentages and probabilities given.

You are right, they are almost all yours and TSS (pause in warming skeptics).  I have only briefly glanced at a couple pages on skeptic websites throughout this entire thread, most of the blogs and videos come from you guys.  I have been linking to NASA etc.

By the simple fact that 2014 is very likely to be one of the top five

Because if 2014 is one of the top five, that means that your so-called pause theory is not correct. 

2014 and 2010 are very likely to be on the top five

Dude, the top 5 years  are from 1998 - 2014.  THAT IS THE PAUSE.  The probability of any warming in those years is very low!!!

 

Can you refute that too?

Let me put it this way. 2014 or 2010 or 2013 or 2005 or 2003 is very highly likely to be the warmest year, warmer than any year before 1998.

are from 1998 - 2014.  

 

That is not accurate, one of the top five since 1880, let me give you the full context 

 

 

Taking into account the uncertainty and assuming all years (1880-2014) in the time series are independent, the chance of 2014 being

  • Warmest year on record: 48.0%
  • One of the five warmest years: 90.4%

That is what I was saying the top 5 years from 1880 range between 1998-2014 (the near 2 decade plateau).  Don't get conceded, the top five barely make it by an unlikely margin. 

 

2014 only has about a 38% chance of being warmer than 1880 (translation - unlikely), and only a 15% chance of being warmer than 2010 (translation - very unlikely).  1998 only has around a 4% chance of being warmer than 1880 (translation - very, very unlikely) etc, etc. 

 

 

Try #3 -  can you refute it?

So if the top 5 are from 1998 to 2014, how can you call that a pause? I don't understand

 

If there is a pause, the hottest years have to be before 1998, not after.

Do you know what a plateau is?  The flat-lined "top" of a climb.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.  I know you can see it.

 

Try #4

Not 2014 according to NOAA, 2014 is almost certainly in the top 5

 

 

38% is an unlikely margin (as in "more unlikely than likely")  This really really is kindergarten math.  No one is refuting that it is in the top 5.

I said I agree that 2014 is probably not the hottest year, but it is very likely on the top five.

2010 is very likely on the top five too. 

 

Try number 10

 

2014 and 2010 are very likely two of the five warmest years, so where is no warming since 1998?

 

The hottest year is very likely 2014, 2010, or 2005, where is the no warming?

I have said all along that there has been a pause from 1998.  This data demonstrates that warming over that time period is more unlikely than likely.  The only thing they can say with confidence is that the 5 hottest years are from 1998 to 2014.  It is still more unlikely than likely that 2014 was the hottest year.  In other words, from 1998 to 2014 there has been no appreciable warming to give scientists a high degree of confidence that there is not a pause.  There is only a 34% chance (translation - more unlikely than likely) that 2014 was warmer than 1998 according to the numbers NASA gave, and only a 21% chance that it was warmer than 2005 (Of course that requires some "complex" subtraction skills to figure out).  That is not a high degree of confidence that there is warming by any standard!   However you try to spin it, it is still more unlikely than likely that 2014 was the warmest year, and more unlikely than likely that there has been any warming with those probabilities.  If you are representative of the general public MFT, maybe you are right about their math comprehension level - This is FAR too complex!

 

Remember when I already answered your question? Your memory really sucks.

5th and final try.  Can you refute it?

 

I will not continue this debate until you answer the question.
