Same old same old Christy.
There is a reason why Christy and Heller plot the centre path, not the whole cone, when they want to deceive you about how accurate the GCMs have actually been. He had the gall to show that plot, without the cones, to a congressional committee under oath.

[@billk8579]

Yes, same old Christy. Just presenting the facts. How dare he. It is a fact that all climate models have been forecasting global temperatures far greater than actually observed. While the climate alarmists like Michael Mann, James Hansen, and Phil Jones have been trying to “hide” the decline in temperatures…not explain the decline but “hide” the data. Want more….observe your climate alarmist leaders building their mansions on the ocean fronts. They don’t seem to be too concerned about the rise of the oceans.

do you even KNOW the term "error bounds?" and "statistical confidence bounds?" and the point blank statement from the IPCC?
Nope.

@@billk8579 None of this ever ages well for the "skeptics". Temp trend lines are above median projections from decades ago. DENIERS like Christy, Curry, Moore (not a climate scientist), Watts (no degree whatsoever), Monckton (literature), Bast, Morano, Epstein, Hannity, Heller... are laughably wrong and lie about the science.
Use any proxy. Remove the tree rings if you want. Know what you get? A hockey stick. Use one... hockey stick. Use them all... hockey stick. Use a random assortment... hockey stick.
