Nice try - no the one that attempts a correlation of CO2 concentrations with surface temp changes.
The premise of those who subscribe to these things is that CO2 is the cause of a "accelerated" warming trend. Forget that your ilk were crying about cooling not all that long ago the data show a disconnect between co2 and warming undermining the hypothesis that CO2 was "causing" this acceleration.
Questioning this causality is grounds for losing one's grants and rejection of grant applications. There are a substantial number of researchers brave enough to go against the peer pressure and repeat the mantra of those who analyze data that "correlation is not necessarily causation.
But it looks like you bought it. Good for you, no need for a 401(k) huh?
So one that has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
The claim was made that warming stopped in 1998. I was responding to this claim as it seemed bizarre to me (I know that it is not true see). I pointed out that global temperature measurements (both the GISS and CRU datasets) do not support warming stopping in 1998.
Anyway I found the media article (not study as originally claimed) which was cited as saying warming stopped in 1998. They used the CRU data themselves, and it appears they were tongue in cheek when they claimed it shows warming stopped in 1998.
How your post relates to warming stopping in 1998 I do not know. If you think warming stopped in 1998 then we have something to discuss. If not then we don't.
Forget that your ilk
I wish I had an ilk, but I don't.
