Well, than as I said previously, I really must be extraordinarily stupid (since
anyone can see the graphs, as in post 259, are observations).
I really thought that the label on the right-hand y-axis is "modeled forcing", which (again, given my ignorance) I construed to mean a "model" of "forcing", as opposed to, say, absolute levels of CO2, or a change in CO2 (which I would think of an an "observation". So, my question (again, based on my unmatchable ignorance) is how does the "model" explain the "observed" data for the temperature plateau period 1998 through 2008?
