Mann vs. Curry, Round 1?

[Climate Realist]

The first two links seem to be broken. I believe that I found the working links through your third link. Nevertheless, the #Science link has nothing in it but accepted science. Try refuting any point in that article.

In the #AntiScience link, Judith Curry makes a big deal of the supposed lack of warming since 1998. There are two problems with that assessment.

1. The trend since 1998 is warming.

2.. What is relevant isn't what happened since 1998, what is relevant is what happened in the past 30 years.

And in the last 30 years, we see a strong warming trend.

I will wait to see if you can find scientific errors in the #Science link, and then I will score this round.

<Note that I edited the links in Mann's tweet. You need to go to that tweet if you want to follow the links.>

In other words, you want us to do your work. Perhaps the realists will give up, and those who have already made up their minds and don't want to be confused by the facts, like Maxx and Sagebrush will tell you what you want to hear.

Post the links, or Curry forfeits.

<Predictions for Round 2?>

I predict that Round 2 will be lame as well.

Is there any reason why the RSS dataset is any more valid than the GISS dataset? I consider the GISS dataset to be the best, because it has an extrapolation mechanism to include polar regions, where warming is the fastest.

As I said, what matters is what happened in the past 30 years.

Your link is to a photo in which Tony Soprano Whattsit photoshopped John Cook's face to a Nazi uniform. John Cook never actually dressed up as a Nazi.
