Unless I’m really misreading this, this paper reaches the utterly unsurprising conclusion that when you have a larger dataset, an individual datapoint must deviate further from the mean in order to have a lower probability of being noise? They’ve concluded that a standard deviation is a standard deviation?
I mean, great, but this is… quite well known.
- defrost 2y agoPretty much. There's zero dispute that the planet mean has been increasing since the 1970s (and earlier). It's simply stating that the the sudden jump in the last year is insufficient on it's own to conclude that the undisputed rate of warming has itself increased (sudden acceleration of heating). Couple more years of unusual increases and we'll know for sure that things are getting hotter even faster .. until then we settle for things are getting hotter by at least the regular rate of increase due to human changes to the atmosphere.
