(1) what you think the current trend warming over pre-industrial temperatures is
(2) what you think the current decadal trend warming rate is
(3) what you think the trend warming rise is likely to be over the coming decade, and
(4) an explanation for the difference between (2) and (3) if there is one
That would help me analyse why you draw such different conclusions from the same data.
Could you see your way to answering these fairly straightforward questions, without namecalling, please?
I would have thought that an expert like yourself would have the knowledge required to churn out an answer to these pretty basic questions at your fingertips. Seems I thought wrong.
How much has the planet warmed in the industrial period (leaving out short-term fluctuations)?
At what rate is it warming (leaving out short-term fluctuations)?
What rate of warming can we expect in the near future?
If the expectation is for the future rate to be markedly different from the current rate, what's the cause?
