Motl’s & C3's graphs don't look like Hadley's. Prolly cuz theirs are peer-reviewed, and Mottle is just making it up as he blogs.Motl's graphs are found here:

Motl takes the data from Hadley at:

Here's some more on Wattsgang and England. Is Hoskins maybe a pen name for Delingpole? Prolly not, cuz I gather he said it was heating since 1850.

Denier weirdness: a collection of alarmist predictions from WUWT and elsewhere Sou | 12:58 AM Be the first to comment!

With the deniers at WUWT complaining about the UK Met Office (which doesn't do too badly), and Benny Peiser from the GWPF getting everyone worked up over a supposed ice age, I figured I'd see how the denier predictions stack up.

A few times a month Anthony Watts gives voice to the ice age alarmists. They are a weird bunch. Most deniers are of the type that fear fear but not the ice age alarmists. They are contrarians. You may have met some of them. First, here's Benny with some global cooling alarms.

As climate scientists will tell you, even a Grand Minimum would hardly make a dent in the global surface temperature these days. CO2 has the world covered. Here's a chart from realclimate.org:

Deluded Ed
There is Ed Hoskins, who thinks an ice age is coming because he reckons central England started getting cold thirteen years ago. Why he thinks there should be an ice age based on the temperature record of central England escapes me. In any case, he maintains central England "lost all the gains since 1850". He is very wrong. Only seven years ago, in 2006, central England had the hottest year in its 353 year record and in 2011 it had its second hottest year in its long record. Nine of the ten hottest years in central England occurred in the last 23 years and seven occurred from 1995 onwards. Just look at the chart and compare it to the temperatures of the mid-1800s. Deluded Ed is deluded.
