The press does tend to oversimplify a bit, and that makes it
hard to react to a study based on a for-the-public simplified reporting. I try
to go right to the original study before commenting or reporting, but that
really is going a bit further than most would want to. From the lead author of the study: “we didn't just
compare two years, but used regression analysis over the entire available
temperature record to obtain representative conditions for those two years. The
numbers are just scenario names. In fact we Also used the historic record to
obtain the statistical variation of the temperature. That was used to generate
100 repetitions of each scenario year. All that stuff was too complicated to communicate to the
press.” Yours, ~ Stephen From:
