‘Frequency of change’…????

[RomanM: The spam post you refer to was removed.]

It is true that a majority of the scientists who study climatic tendencies in our atmosphere have arrived at the conclusion that the world’s climate is changing, and they have convinced a group of politicians, some of whom are politically powerful, of the truth of their conclusions.

A minority, however, is skeptical. Some believe that recent data that suggest that the average temperature of the atmosphere is going up can be explained by natural variations in solar radiation and that global warming is a temporary phenomenon. Others believe that the historical evidence indicating that the temperature of the atmosphere is going up at a dangerous rate is simply not reliable.

snip – too generalized

I would be really interested in your answer to this problem.

Are you suggesting doing a Runs test on the pseudo-random sample, or perhaps calculating a realisation of the occurrence of lengths 1,2,3,,,n (or something of that type) for one or (many) more trials.?

You will find the reults surprising if you don’t know the answer already.

I have concluded that no matter how good the CRU crowd were at climate science, they have have a lot to learn about signal processing.

As a non-scientist where do I find the basis, the explanation for the AGW theory that all of this is caused by Man and his CO2? Where in the hell is THAT data? What repeatable, reproducible experiments confirm the role of CO2, and does correlation equal causation in this case? What about all the CO2 emitted by Nature, doesn’t that play ANY part? Aren’t Man’s CO2 emissions only about 3% of what Nature contributes?

Aren’t real scientists by nature supposed to be skeptical and trying to find data that DISPROVES their pet hypotheses and not just looking for data that fits and throwing away data that doesn’t (I guess that question has now been answered)?
