I also calculated the trend for the period 1995 to 2009. This trend (0.12C per decade) is positive, but not significant at the 95% significance level. The positive trend is quite close to the significance level. Achieving statistical significance in scientific terms is much more likely for longer periods, and much less likely for shorter periods. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8511670.stm I know how people like to quote correctly. Well that is the whole quote. |
I did read that entire quote... and once again your proving my point. Not significant = not happening. Over longer periods of time is basically just saying "eventually the numbers will come out how i want them... i mean... something." The wolds climate changes naturally so yes... if you wait long enough... eventually a trend will show.
