It’s one of those magic eye pictures – you’ve just got to train your eyes to wander off in different directions and refocus to see the picture. Now there’s a word in there somewhere … I can’t be certain, but I’m pretty sure it’s “screwed”.
Which says it all really!
Wow!

Let me guess: the choice of ‘cool’ to ‘warm’ colours is unfair; if you cut the thing into ribbons really carefully you could get a whole bunch of strips with no trend in them at all; anyway, medieval mosaics showed an even stronger gradation of colour; if you multiply all those base temp numbers by some convoluted factor I like because it yields a result I prefer, you get a result I prefer…
But guys – you should be celebrating; there’s no hockey stick!

The last time we saw any white was the mid-90s and you’ve got to go back to the 80s to get any blues.
It’s noteworthy that this hasn’t elicited a lot of comments from ‘skeptics’. I’d suggest that this is because this kind of pattern recognition is hard-wired into us, and is far harder to dispute than any putative trend line set through a series of undulating squiggles.
The last time the silence was this deafening was the Easterbrook fiasco, another instance where a blatantly inconvenient truth was simply ignored (by all but R2, bless him!)
Very true, bill. There’s stuff that’s undeniable, so they don’t. But when you get them on a “hot button” issue — and the Pacific impacts seems to be one of those, they go hell for leather.
