Found this on the NASA website. You can watch global land temperatures heat up over last 70 years – looks at first like a wobbly slug, then as we get into the ’80s you see the clear movement to the right (warm) side.What is important is the leading edge on the right, where you can see, as the bell curve moves that way, suddenly those extremes that would have been off the chart decades ago become much more a part of the distribution.That’s what we’ve been seeing in recent weeks – extremes that would once have been highly unlikely . now becoming within the “normal” range.
If you want to see a very nice old lady do the exact opposite of the Bell curvy method then she’s called “The Friends of The U.S. Corporation of Alberta Tar Sands Science” (some scientific organization) and that different to Bell curvy method is at 16:06 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpieaeTxN7I
I don’t know why she skips the Bell curvy method, I’m guessing a bell damaged her hearing.
Damn you for getting that woman’s smarmy image in my head!
This is a great graphic—-pretty hard to deny where it points, although the fossil fuel whores like Lindzen will try.
