Is the earth getting warmer, or cooler?

I'm a bit concerned, as some others appear to be, that you've ignored the difference between a systematic error and random error.

All the calculations you present for the reduction of early temperatures assume that the errors were random and independent - thus you reach a large figure of 55/70 heads. You then use this figure to 'prove' that the figures have been manipulated and demonstrate it by comically rotating a graph.

When pressed on this, you've so far ignored it - and I can only suspect that you're doing this on purpose.

I used to enjoy the Reg, frankly - it just sank like a stone...
