Hmm, Willis tries to be clever again!
Willis Eschenbach has a new post on Watts Up With That (WUWT) called Model climate sensitivity calculated directly from model results. HotWhopper has already covered this in a new post, but I thought I...

Has global warming stalled?
A picture theme of mine on this blog has been that using temperature anomaly data alone to determine if global warming has stopped or not is simplistic and ignores indicators of global warming. These...
