Interpreting Recent Temperature Trends in California
Many thanks to a recent comment by Steve Bloom for pointing to the October 9th EOS front page article. This quote sums up the article nicely:
This trend, however, is probably much more uncertain than acknowledged by Christy et al. [2006], since the removal of one of their 137 data segments completely eliminates the apparent trend [Bonfils et al., 2007b].
Ouch.
