You know, I've looked at that bullshit. And I have to say, it is a total crock.

Please explain this statement:

"This is a flawed comparison because it compares a statistical parameter with a variable.

A parameter, such as the mean (also referred to as the ‘average’) and the standard deviation, describe the statistical distribution of a given variable. However, such parameters are not equivalent to the variable they describe."

Maybe we need to call in Koan to explain it (LOL) but I don't know of any reason at all you can't compare a parameter against a variable if you're doing it to make a particular point. To argue that the 102 models have no significance because it is a mean representation is silly. If you want to make the point that the average model is wrong by that amount it is perfectly acceptable. And that is a worthy point.

If you through enough shit at the wall something will stick. There is probably a model out of the 102 that reasonably approximates the actual; but one cannot infer from that that the model is correct. It must be consistently correct, then you can start making such inferences.

That is a bullshit criticism. Ask Koan (ROTFLMAO).

I have done in the past something similar to what this critic is doing. When being hired as an expert witness sometimes you want to point to the material that supports the case you are hired for while de-emphasizing that which doesn't. But sometimes, the other side has a good case. That's what happened here. He is trying to find SOMETHING on which to criticize it, but it just isn't there. So he has started throwing in bullshit.

The reality is the chart I posted nails it and that is why the Warmists are scrambling to come up with something, anything to criticize it with.
