Greetings All,
I would be interested to learn of references to _data_ and to
good discussions of such data which are relevant to a hypothesis
of true global warming.
By "true global warming" I mean in effect a sustained positive
trend in the total heat content of the Earth's air and water
(including major ice and snow masses and no doubt some allowance
for the surface of the Earth itself).
No doubt a good statement of what I mean would have to be more
sophisticated, but you get the idea.
The idea specifically being to consider also an alternative
hypothesis whereby currently reported climatic changes, described
as "global warming", may be manifestations of a redistribution of
heat that is there already.
A nice question in spatial statistics, I feel.
With thanks in advance; interesting contributions will be
summarised to the list.
And, from globally warmed Manchester (-10 deg. C last night,
allegedly), a Happy New Year to all.
Ted.
