Thanks also to Paul .
Lawrie - Am sending draft via Paul Biggs. Was a cached version so not sure what version etc. All I have.
Luke,
I note your original post was abridged by Jennifer. Any chance you would be willing to e-mail the complete paper to me please.
Thanks also for the other link, definitely worth some study.
Lawrie - Tamino - here - http://tamino.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/temperature-2007/ AN opinion !
Sid is totally disingenous as always - colder extremes have declined. I did an extensive post on the issue.
Posting cherry picked weather reports is just propagandising. Sid never publishes the warm ones just the coldies as he reckons there is a conspircacy not to report coldies nd overreport warmies (strange as he is reporting existing reports again - errr ???)
Sid when pressed won't give you any TREND information on extremes though which IS THE issue.
I did a guest post here last year on cold trends under AGW.

What would you expect under AGW ?? Instant warm everywhere. No more variability.? Think again.
Gee Sid, smells like more frequent extreme weather events to me.
36 in Melb yesterday SJT, so I disagree, definitely warming...
Luke I would agree that a decade (almost)of data is not what I would be forming my opinions on BUT the Darling Alarmer of the ABC (Karoly) started it. Well maybe Bob Carter did but Karoly followed suit.
AND he could not be wrong as he is a lead of one of the IPCC working groups or the like.
But importantly Luke your claim re 2007 is based on what? (A genuine enquiry I really would like your source please.)
BTW I do have Karoly's data as he was good enough to let me have it in response to my query of him after the ABC's jerkin' Durkin show.
"Are the warmers hoping for more warming? "
I see that kind of accusation made repeatedly. It's abusive.
