re: #323 kyros

Professor Phil Jone said…”This trend (0.12C per decade) is positive, but not significant at the 95% significance level.

NOT SIGNIFICANT…which means the trend is worthless…means nothing…has no merit.

Which part of “not significant at the 95% level” didn’t you understand?

It’s pathetic to say that because he won’t claim 95% certainty, it means “the trend is worthless.” This is the definition of “determined ignorance” — you seize on two words he used to be as careful in a scientific sense as possible, and try to use them to smear his whole statement. Ludicrous, wrong, and stupid.
