re: #48 Bagua

Of course I am talking about the averaged temperatures on a yearly basis, each year of anomalous reading has an effect, this is beyond dispute. To say one anomalous season has “absolutely no influence” shows you do not understand the data sets.

On the contrary. Take a 100-year plot. Each year is the mean of 365 days. So we experience something on the order of a 20-day outlier and you think it’ll affect the trend of a graph based on yearly means of 36,500 days?

It is you, i believe, who does not understand the difference between moving an average by an infinitesimal amount and moving the trend.
