If it is unknown, you cannot know how big an issue it is.
And we have evidence that errors of this magnitude have occurred before.
So technically unknown, and errors are known to be of this size. And yes, Halley explains that directly. That it might be a problem.
You can say it a million times for all I care. You are still wrong. You still have no come back to my point that there is evidence of errors of this size in the past. While this does not prove the size of the new unknown error, it certainly means you *cannot* rule it out.
Again, from Halley:
Overall, this paper underlines the importance of LTP models in climate and in particular their application to the attribution problem. It strengthens the findings of Rybski et al. that it is very difficult to explain the current global rise in global temperature through the agency of a natural LTP process. In conclusion, even accounting for the effects of LTP, non-stationarity, aliasing, uncertainties in estimating exponents and issues of variability missing from reconstructions, from a statistical viewpoint it still seems unlikely that the modern instrumental trend can be explained by natural agencies.
The magnitude is unkown, but it's unlikely that the warming trend can be explained with natural variance. That's all I've said. That's what Halley says, despite your comical attempts to pretend like he argues something else. Time will tell whether your buddies can gin up more significance concerning their statistical theory.
As in, I don't know how tall Halley is, but he's not 8'5".
Exact magnitude unknown, but I bet I'm right.
