The warming is faster than happened naturally in the past.
Really over the top hubris. We don't know.

Ice is melting—Antarctica is melting half a century earlier than was thought likely—a failed prediction there but not in a good way.
You mean climate phenomena are not dynamic? It should have been getting colder? It should have precipitated more?
Aah Marcott 2013. Realising that the Southern Hemisphere is largely made up.
"Tom,
The issue Ray alludes to is that in addition to the issue of many more drifters providing measurements over the last 5-10 years, the measurements are coming in from places where we didn't have much ship data in the past.
For much of the SH between 40 and 60S the normals are mostly made up as there is very little ship data there.Whatever causes the divergence in your plot it is down to the ocean.
You could try doing an additional plot. Download from the CRU web site the series for SH land. It doesn't matter if is from CRUTEM3 or CRUTEM3v (the former would be better). If that still has the divergence, then it is the oceans causing the problem. What you're seeing is too rapid to be real.
Cheers
Phil"

http://di2.nu/foia/foia2011/mail/2729.txtSo about 80% of the SH was poorly sampled. and yet you want to hang your hat on those predictions.
But i digress -What was it he said on that interview on real climate? -
"Yet if we plot temperature anomaly data since 1880 at the same locations as the 73 sites used in our paleotemperature study, we see that the data are scattered and the trend is unclear. "
But if they
mash merged together they find what they want.
" Our global paleotemperature reconstruction includes a so-called “uptick” in temperatures during the 20th-century. However, in the paper we make the point that this particular feature is of shorter duration than the inherent smoothing in our statistical averaging procedure, and that it is based on only a few available paleo-reconstructions of the type we used. Thus, the 20th century portion of our paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, cannot be considered representative of global temperature changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions."
