Over the 10-year period as a whole, climate continues to warm and 2014 is likely to be 0.3 °C warmer than 2004. At least half of the years after 2009 are predicted to exceed the warmest year currently on record.

Well, I guess that’s that. Given that the Met is consistently wrong on just about every prediction they’ve ever made, I think we can call this the beginning of the end for the CAGW/CC/CD lunacy. Its weird. I’ve become so accustomed to fighting this madness, I’m wondering what I’m going to do afterward. Oh, sure, they’ll come up with some other form of lunacy to be alarmed about, but I’m pretty sure it won’t have anything to do with the multi-directional emissivity of CO2, or tree rings or statistically insignificant variants of a proxy for energy.
Fortunately, Steven started this blog at an opportune moment and has set a precedence of not exclusively including CAGW/CC/CD as the subject matter. I’m sure there will be some other Malthusian socialized totalitarian alarmist movement very soon.
BTW, did you guys see Steig’s loss of sanity/credibility with his rant against a homey of mine? For you warmistas, look at Steig, his rant, reality and the type of people you’ve put your faith into as an expert. Dolts.
Yahbut you didn’t get your picture on the cover….

lol, sweet one of my wife’s favorites!
Talking of predictions gone wrong, the solar cycle continues to veer away from the official position.

f10.7 flux and AP remaining FLAT
the discrepancy between 10.7/AP and ssn looks to both falsify L&P, and Svalgaard’s claim that they are undercounting sunspots
i respect all those mentioned above and their work, it just looks like they are probably wrong in this case
I don’t even pretend to know astro-physics, but watching the banter back and forth from people I believe to know about such things, it is clear to me, that mankind is woefully lacking in our knowledge of our primary source of light and heat.
anthony just posted up a solar thread. if you guys are interested they usually get both informative and entertaining!

.3C eh, (recognize the Canadian), well, with adjustments, it will be!
2014 – Predictions:
– polar bears will be gone
– manhatten will be under water
– there will be a drought somewhere
– there will be a flood somewhere
/sarc off…
Suyts, I am just waiting for the “sorry, we were wrong, CO2 actually causes extreme cooling after heating us up. Now, if we don’t quit driving our SUV’s, we’re going to freeze to death in the new ice-age”. … and so the cycle will continue.
They think they can predict the temperature within .1 degrees in ten years?? They can’t predict tomorrow’s high temperature correctly.
Amen.
If they actually used dry/wet bulb method of forecasting hi/lo temperature, they would be spot on… but since we now use models to forecast hi/lo, well they are almost never accurate.
The average winter temperatures for the USA has dropped 6 degrees in the last ten years.
It continues a downward trend.
It appears The MET has its Temp Gauges by their coffee machine and the Bubbler.

And the Met Office is wrong how often? Oh yeah, pretty often.
Let’s bet the Met Office that it will be colder.
All we need is a reliable third party to perform the temp measurements.

I think the MET office needs to read this study, if you make stuff up already and then push it too far less people are likely to believe you
