Predicting the past

Once again you posted a link that cites scientist opinions which mean nothing. They are NOT climate scientists. Please do your homework next time before wasting my time and perhaps others.
That link is just another hack opinion piece that hopes the readers do not know the difference between scientists and climate scientists. You were duped again!

The opinion does not matter. The data does. Focus on the data. If you use the 10-year window method they are using, those are the results. Opinion aside, the article I posted indicates that the conclusions change when you use larger time frames.

But my bigger point is that, even with the cherry picked 10-year window they use, their data shows no significant deviation between observed and modeled temps.
