The data plotted above, and which the authors use, is not actually the GISS land-ocean temperature data set.It's always undignified to get hit by 'friendly fire'. That's what's happened to a group of Stanford University statistical experts and their late-2015 peer-reviewed paper "Debunking the climate hiatus" in the prestigious journal Climatic Change. Two statistician bloggers, Radford Neal and Grant Foster, have torn the paper apart, even though both agree – for other reasons – that the 15+ years pause or hiatus in warming is a statistical illusion. So, warmists, it's no use making ad-hominem attacks on these bloggers because they're on your side. I am unqualified to comment on the statistical arguments, having barely passed Stats 101 at ANU in 1972, the era of the slide rule. So my point is about prima facie and uncorrected crud making its way into a prestigious peer-reviewed climate journal, which may now have to publish some soul-destroying corrections. And if that essay made it into "the science", what other junk has also been elevated to scientific holy writ? Critic Radford Neal (right) is Professor, Dept. of Statistics and Dept. of Computer Science, University of Toronto. He not only looks to me like a good statistician, but his papers have earned 22,600 citations, including 8,600 in the past half-decade. He sets out the status of the "Debunk" authors:https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_fig_1_charts.jpg
