If Dawlish likes, I will host a domain for Dawlish's wager. The
wager is:

"I bet you $/£10,000 that the GISS temperature record for 2010
will be beaten in either 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, or 2015: i.e
within the next 5 years and 2011 has started cool and is unlikely
to break any records."

1/ Who will bet on temperature series, they are not even reliable enough
to show if the trend is positive or negative ?
Example: GISS trend over the last ten years +0.0057°C/year versus RSS-MSU
-0.0035°C/year

2/ Why would one bet on temperature series when what is to be
demonstrated is the influence of humanity on those temperatures due to
the burning of fossil fuel. Is there is a reliable indicator of the part
of fossil fuel burning in the evolution of temperatures ? No one seems to
exist. If one existed, I am sure it would have been highly publicised in
this group.

If there are no indicators, there is no reason for a temperature
record.

You are waving your arms about. The odds are all in your favour, if
you believe any of what you say above. Take the bet.

PS. Thank you AGW, but I'd rather use a solicitor and arrange the bet
from here.

As far as I know, there is no indicator of the influence of fossil fuel
burning on the average world temperatures. If one existed, you would have
referenced it in your answer.

I am interested in the demonstration that burning fossil fuels has a
significant influence on global temperatures. I am especially interested
in the feedback aspect, are they positive, as AGWers pretend or negative ?

I will not bet on GISS ability to resolve their discrepancy problem with
the satellite data series (ex. GISS trend over the last ten years +0.0057°
C/year versus RSS-MSU -0.0035°C/year).

Sure, and there's no indicator of the influence of gasoline to make cars
move. Your car doesn't move if the tank's empty you might argue, but
that's no proof, look at any parking lot full of cars all standing
around, none of them moving and all with gasoline in their tanks. And a
million years ago there were no cars moving round and all that gasoline
was there underground. So even with all that gasoline around, not a
single car moving! That conclusively proves that cars don't need gasoline.

If Dawlish can exhibit no valid indicator that his hypothesis won then
there can be no valid bet. His proposition of a non significant success
indicator is simply not acceptable.

Lie.

http://www.ssmi.com/msu/msu_data_description.html

Only 1, the lower statosphere, is negative.

"Lower stratospheric cooling is mainly caused by the effects of ozone
depletion with a possible contribution from increased stratospheric
water vapor and greenhouse gases increase."

The flat earth is a very convenient and useful local approximation.
That's said, I don't see any useful meaning to your analogy.
One of your mechanical replies when you have nothing worthy to argue ?
The first, second, and third IPCC reports admitted that the
'anthropogenic signal' wasn't distinguishable in the noise. In the
fourth, the governmental used a dawligish argument to assert that 'most
of the 20th century observed warming (0.6°C) was man made. If it is not
xxx tell me what is it is not a scientific argument. It gives no
scientific criterium that can possibly invalidate the xxx hypothesis in a
scientific experiment. If such a rational criterion existed, why wouldn't
you reference it instead of your sempiternal insane analogies ?

You still believe that your AGW hysteria is based on science ? It is as

And if you go back, you find no evidence for relativity or nuclear

So you tell me, why do almost all scientists agree with me and not
you? Why do almost all the scientific journal articles agree with me
and not you? Why does every national science academy? Every
scientific organization?

But the supposed evidence that 'most of the 20th century warming was
caused by CO2" is "post normal" science, but is backed by regular
scientific evidence.
If you had any such evidence at hand you would not be compelled to reply
with your worthless analogies.

The bet you propose would in no way possibly falsify the anthropogenic
global warming hypothesis. Whether you are right or wrong, it proves
nothing, it has not the slightest interest. That is the reason why you
find nobody stupid enough to accept you proposal.
Further more, I don't bet with proven liars. And you proved, in this same
thread, that you are a deliberate liar.

Did you read what I sa id, and did you put the numbers in your worksheet
to compute the linear regression coefficient on the specified last ten
years period ?
No you don't. The slope on the last ten years period is -0.0035°C/year.
This leaves only two possibilities: the first you are really
scientifically impaired and lack the skills to understand and verify what
is said; the second, your bad faith is unfathomable.

Straw man. I just stated that Dawlish's bet is stupid and that the
uncertainties are such that the result would prove nothing?

You take the RSS-MSU lower troposphere data from year 2001 to now as is
available from the
RSS_Monthly_MSU_AMSU_Channel_TLT_Anomalies_Land_and_Ocean_v03_3.txt file
you compute the LTO coefficient and you tell us that the result is -0035°
C/year. If you compute the uncertainty on the LTO coefficient and if you
do the same exercise with the GISS data series, your will obviously
conclude that the uncertainties are so great that nothing can be
concluded from the evolution of one data series or the other.

And your lame flat earth analogies will not change a iota in what I
exactly said.

You forgot to present your apologies for your lie.
You have been showing your dishonesty, who will bet with you.

If you have some decisive scientific argument in favour of your AGW
hypothesis present it now or shut up. Your bet proves nothing, it is
worthless.

The confidence in sciences, according to Gordo, is based on votes by
governmental delegates, polls on skewed samples and bets on data series
with no clear public definition.
Climate science of Gordo is a post-normal science -ie an ideology-, not
an experimental science.

Let's have a look back to this stupid wager: "I bet you $/£10,000 that

the GISS temperature record for 2010 will be beaten in either 2011, 2012,
2013, 2014, or 2015: i.e within the next 5 years and 2011 has started
cool and is unlikely to break any records."

The bet was devised by someone who holds for sure that the humanity is
the cause of a steady, average 0.3°C/decade temperature increase. He has
been disappointed those last ten or fifteen years as this trend failed to
show up. For ideological reasons, he is unwilling to admit the
possibility that the 1980-2000 warming period was nothing exceptional in
the history of climate. And to hide his ideological defeat, he propose
you to show with his bet that a supposed theory that would imply a steady
cooling is false.

Who has advocated such a theory here ? Nobody.
So who will take his bet ? Nobody. No one is interested.

I think this is his way of making up for all those awful statements and

somehow clears him of his stupidity but it's more for his ego than the

I claimed that the 2001-now trend in the RSS-MSU series was -0.0035°C/

This doesn't change the fact that for the 2001 to now period, the GISS
series show a global temperature increase and the RSS-MSU a negative
temperature increase showing how much uncertain the global temperature

It's a bet on what will happen to global temperatures within the next
5 years and it is showing up you deniers as outright cowards. If you
consider that as a weather bet, that's fine by me and you can call it
a weather bet as many times as you wish. We'll just laugh at you. You
probably also think that small rectangular carpets really can fly.

Take the bet racist coward.

Why don't you deniers understand that cherry picking 2 months and
comparing them, will not convince anyone of temperature change. Try
picking *any* of the 12 months in 2001 and finding a negative value
for the comparative temperature to *any* of the months Jan-Sept 2010,
when we were still experiencing the after-effects of an El Nino. Go
on. Try it.

Cherry picking 2 months and joining the dots is just a stupid way to
try to convince anyone that temperatures have increased, or decreased.
you have to look at the context of the months you are comparing. Why
don't you do that? Are you stupid and ignorant?

I take this clumsy rant as a confirmation that you know very well that
your bet has no scientific value.

RSS-MSU low troposphere data is below, taken from their website. You know
how to compute the linear regression trend. The result is -0.0035°C/year.

1980-2007 graph. Interesting, but unrelated with what I was saying.
Dawlish's bet is not on 3 decades series, but on short term previsions.
And on the short term, the last decade for example, even the sign of the
trend is not the same for the RSS-MSU and CRU (minus) and the GISS and UAH
(plus) data series. This is easily verifiable using the publicly
available information.

Are you asking for a scientific evidence relative to the confidence to be
placed on Hansen ?
Trust in a man is not a scientific concept. You trust him as long as he
apparently behaves as a trusted person and that the checks on his results
are consistent with the trust level you place in him.

I avoid hazard games. I am not interested in bets. I don't understand
what your bet is supposed to prove. You are unable to explain it. Your
bet seems completely uninteresting and worthless. It is a very stupid
idea. Maybe you can find one or two idiots to play this game with you,
but not me.

Dawlish, you spent hundred of message to explain us that climate meant at
least 30 years statistics. We spent hundred of messages to explain you
that we know that we don't deny there has been a warming trend over the
last two centuries. We spent numerous posts to explain that the
allegation that this warming was something unusual and mostly man made
was absolutely not based on scientifically convincing arguments.

Your bet addresses none of these points. That is the reason why nobody is
interested.

The bet is not intended to address a point. It's intended to expose
the lack of credibility in the views of climate deniers like you that
GW is unlikely to continue.

Don't be a coward. Stand up for your convictions and take the bet.
Same challenge to any of the silent deniers.

And Dawlish apparently forgets that GISS draws a great deal from
the CRU temperature records and data sets, provenance for which is
in tatters. GISS has no credibility at all compared to UAH and RSS.

Hansen "spins" news releases based on the so-called GISS data, and
makes grandstanding political plays based on theories that have not
been borne out by events. He simply has not shown the type of
impartiality and measured evaluation that is required to make
a scientist trustworthy.

By the way, how's that UK Met Office project going that was going
to rescuscitate the CRU temperature record (and vet GISS in the
process). Hmm?

Show us there is a problem with the data. Show us the evidence. Don't
just repeat crap you've read from other deniers to denigrate a fine
scientist and a set of data which is unimpeachable. Show us the
evidence there is something amiss. It's so easy to say, isn't it? But

You've been so uninterested that you've been chirping about it for

The bet is showing up the deniers' complete lack of faith in their own

Not necessarily. They could be Trappist monks who will have nothing

I have been interested by the way you presented it, seven years old

You don't need to repeat yourself to show your utmost helplessness to
back what you say with facts.

Can you, or not, define an indicator that can show unambiguously, from
observed facts, that, as is asserted by the IPCC, humanity causes most of
the observed global world temperature variations. If one can be devised,
we will observe it until the AGW hypothesis is validated or invalidated.

Keep your ridiculous bets for yourself.

I verified all this again:

If you consider 2001-2010 instead of 2001-now:
Temp = -0.0135055868*yyyy+27.3340781152
std error on trend =0.1291856278

From jan2001 to April 2011

You know it is not scientific proof by wager.The temperature must be
higher than at any time in recorded history for Dawlish to win.Seems
like a pretty safe bet for anyone who keeps claiming that there is
cooling or within the normal range etc.etc. If you fall into that
category then why not make some easy money?

Could it be perhaps that deniers just like to spread their
disinformation about and know that Dawlish is correct?

You probalby noticed that the warmist side will win if only one year is
warmer, in the GISS series, even if the first 4 years are actually colder.

Did you try to evaluate the odds for each side to win:

1- In the null hypothesis: If each year has exactly the same probability
to be to be colder or warmer than the previous one: how many paths, how
many of them never cross the no trend line.

2- What become those odds in the hypothesis where the chosen data series
persists in exhibiting the same warming bias it exhibited during the last
30 years (greater trend that UAH, RSS and CRU).

Or you evaluated the chances, and you are a crook, or you didn't and your
are very naive. If you evaluated the odds, you would know that the actual
bets are not far from those that result from the null hypothesis.

If you truly believed that 'most of the warming' is induced by humanity,
you would have proposed the opposite bet: one were you win only if none
of the five next years is less warm than 2010.

Moreover, the GISS has revised its past data nearly every month, the bet
does not specify what is the reference data in case the 2010, or the
subsequent years would be 'adjusted' as they have already repeatedly
been.

Last, but not the least, you, yourself, mentioned that the outcome of the
bet will provide no scientific evidence of a warming or a cooling trend.
So this bet, as it is related to nothing interesting, has not the
slightest interest.

Warmer than at any time in recorded history.

Then it would be a fifty fifty chance but Dawlish does not believe
that.

Maybe you could see if Dawlish would give you better odds than 50/50.
Why he should I have no idea since his bet actually depends upon an
extreme global temperature never recorded before.

That is not correct.We have data showing that the *trend* is warming
and that there are years where the globe is cooler than the previous
year.


>Moreover, the GISS has revised its past data nearly every month, the bet
>does not specify what is the reference data in case the 2010, or the

The GISS has to revise its data as more information is available.You
know that and understand it.It is still the trend that Dawlish is
banking on to win the bet.

It has interest for those who keep repeating that we are heading for
an ice age,global warming has stopped etc to put their money on a
sure thing if they are correct.They do not believe their heifer dust

Chirping. You don't believe what you spew. You'd like to ignore this,
but you can't. It nags at you, so you have to somehow try to denigrate
the bet. A bet is a bet. If you don't take it, you *know* that record
temperatures are likely to happen over the next 5 years, don't you?

Take the bet.

So far, "NONE" of the recorded figures lately are in excess of
anything previous. What you are promoting is a catastrophic event of
global warming. Highly unlikely for the next thousand or even million
years, don't cha know!

Bullshit! Alarmist crap. In any case, the time factor is so great that
nobody will be alive to claim their just dues. Oh, and who said or
claimed that the climate is "NOT" changing?? - Of course it is, it
always has done so. And are you denying the fact that we are still
coming out of an Ice Age?

Absolutely false. Can you tell the odds in case one (null hypothesis) and
in case two (null hypothesis and slightly biased base data series) ?
Who will believe what you say if you cannot ? Several posters gave you
some hints recently.

From your answers it is very clear that you didn't even begin to evaluate
the odds. Or you understand them and you are a crook. Or you spent
evaluating the odds, and you perceive that the bet is a scam, but as a
crook you pretend not to know it.

Take the bet, or stop chirping. We all know why you and others won't
take it - because you know *full well* that global temperatures are
highly likely to hit record levels again in the next 5 years.

Well I am not a crook or at least I am not one here.So take whatever

not taking the bet.It is because you admit to the trend or you just

Pauly, like all other deniers that spew onto here, knows full well he
is highly likely to lose such a bet, as he knows *full well* that
global temperatures will hit record levels again, within the next 5
years. Don't you pauly?

Deniers like pauly know that if they were to accept that pretty
