Thanks for the info on the two graphs!
By "pinned" I mean held at the top of the threads so it stays there.

It is not only the US that suffered extreme (relatively) weather in the 1950's. This is what happened in the east of England (the coast of my area) as well as Scotland, Holland and Belgium: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_flood_of_1953And there were no suggestions that it was caused by AGW! If this was to happen now, mankind would be blamed.

Interestingly, this page "Advanced climate modelling for policymakers - The new Met Office model increases our confidence that reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 50% of current levels by 2050 would make it possible to meet a 2 °C global warming limit. " at www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate-change/policy-relevant/advancewas last updated as long ago as 6 December 2010. Could heels be dug in?

The Independent seems to like to feature anti-sceptic items. www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/how-the-kochtopus-stifled-green-debate-8466316.htmlWho are the actual sceptics is becoming less clear!! To nail my own colours to the mast, I am extremely sceptical that the human race can adversely affect climate in the manner proposed by the AGW lobby. The universe is too big for that, and there is too much evidence of long term and indeed shorter term cycles in the system. Not to say that man is incapable of wrecking his home planet, but that is another issue that does not directly involve CO2. I shall retire behind the battlements!

I've read the abstract. Am I correct in interpreting the report as, "The average of the results shows a net loss of energy from the area covered by the instruments to space. CO2 and airborne particles have only minor relevance. We don't really understand the mechanism. "
There is an expression "to separate the SRB's response to long-term climate processes from natural variability ". Surely natural variability is implied from long-term climate processes?

Hello Shaggy, from Essex. Interesting about the peppers, to me that kind of observation can be as revealing as the scientific papers. I am not one of the climate experts, whom I respect greatly for their insights into a complex area of science, but it is vital that the experts give an honest and balanced message to the politicians and public. We are guided by what we see, hear, read and experience. Are you planning to carry on trying with the peppers, or are their other veg/fruit that have become more suitable? There are some good English Coxes and Conference in the shops at present.

I confess - I am the 4.9, sticking with the prediction I posted when sig first opened the original thread. What I said then was, "from a simple, tyro's viewpoint I am going to predict a sea ice minimum extent for 2013 based mostly on the pattern there seems to be for the last 6 years and a "feel" from various posts here. My prediction for 2013 sea ice extent is 4.9".
Will be instructive how my simple approach holds up javascript:add("%20???")
