Why is there only 9 data points since the beginning of the thread?
What does this mean?

count them on the graph in post 5928. there is better separation.

What is the simplest equation that encompasses the historical GISTEMP sequence? I decided to play with it for the heck of it. The number of terms in the equation needed to represent the data tells you something about composite forcings.
Turns out even just two terms does an OK job. The first term is a sine wave set to oscillate with a yearly periodicity and an amplitude of about +/- 1°C. That captures seasonal change. Just that term is the green line.
The second term is a forcing term added on top of the seasonal oscillation. That's the brown line. With the exception of the 1930's warming and 60's-70's cooling periods (must have forgotten to fake those out) one exponential term captures the entire historical data set pretty well.

Who is this "we"? You're not getting all warm, fuzzy and collectivist on me I hope. I would imagine the range of agendas is fairly broad.

Why Republicans Still Reject the Science of Global Warming
Only one major political party in the world denies climate change, and it's in charge of the most important political body in the world
