This is how science generally works. You improve your findings with better data and improved methods.
And the use of apocalyptic language to cause mass hysteria in order to obtain funding/political power? Is that part of the process too?

As do I. I think the predictions are best described as rough estimates.

No.
I will always call out the doomsday scenarios, especially among scientists.
Politicians are going to fear monger. It is what they do.

Where do most research scientists get their funding?

So you cherry pick a time frame that is .000005% the age of the Earth.
Do you see how dumb that is.

Yes they do. They used the limited knowledge they have of the world today to plug in holes and guess the data points of the past.
Do you even hockey puck bro?

you might have a point if it were only land surface temperatures

As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb.

, you said we should look at what is actually happening, do I showed you. Again, I think making king term predictions off of this is a folly, but this is the data. Do with it what you will. Posted on 1/18/18 at 8:27 am to Salmon

Tell us more about the air and sea temperatures they were recording 1000 years ago?
The Thermometer was invented in 1714 right???

Half a continent is considered regional?

So you know where the official thermometers have been placed all that time? Not in the water. Municipal structures then generally airports.
We are in a global cooling cycle now that may last 10-12 years. Bundle up.

You mis-spelled “redefined”.
The left has too much on the table to fold and walk away. They have to continue to bluff.

Likely that the annual average temperatures will likely go below the overall average again at some point assuming the overall average beginning in 1850 is actually representative of future data.

Marine geologist here that studies/works with ocean circulation, sediment sinks/sources, inlet dynamics, shoreline geomorphology, and paleoclimatology.
A large portion of my masters thesis revolved around the transgressing/regressing shorelines during the Pleistocene's major glacial maximums, interglacials, and glacial minimums.
It can be done independent of the thermometer being "invented in 1714"

Do we have thermometers spaced evenly around the globe, say at every degree of longitude and latitude intersection? The answer is no we don’t. We have a the vast amount of thermometers in population centers. We take those skewed distributions and interpolate what the average global temperature change is. After all this we have come to the conclusion that the average temperature has risen .8 degrees over the course of a century. Then we take that and we say that that over the next century temperature will increase at least 4 times as much. Yet, we couldn’t predict we would have a cold winter in Louisiana in October. How can anyone believe any predictions about the climate at this point? We have NO proof that anyone can model weather or climate accurately a month out much less a century out.
