I’m not sure. But if that hypothetical result wouldn’t falsify the predicted amount of “warming” – but would, instead, merely describe the predicted “warming” – then what, exactly, is being predicted? I don’t recall ever hearing experts (a) opine panickedly that we need to act now to stop the predicted warming, and then (b) go on to spell out that by “predicted warming” they of course mean “the temperature may well spend decades going down, followed by centuries of not actually getting any warmer”.
Beats me. I’m merely asking those who claim warming is coming to spell out just how much warming they predict; if we instead get significantly less warming, or no warming, or plenty of cooling, then I’d simply ask for their revised answer; I’m not a scientist, I’m just a guy who asks scientists making predictions to make falsifiable ones.
