You make a common mistake Billy Boy. The IPCC conducts NO research. It assesses research conducted by others. The tropospheric hotspot was not the creation of the IPCC. And I have to wonder why you choose to argue with model outputs presented in the First Assessment Report, when the Fifth was released over four years ago and the Sixth is in production.
Another mendacious post from you the standard bearer of dishonest claims, no one here says the IPCC conducts research, NO ONE!
The IPCC reports have undue influence on many people because they use the METANALYSIS way to create a case for the AGW propaganda. Since their reports are based on published material peer reviewed or not, it is indeed credible to say that the IPCC does advocate the "hot spot" projection by SHOWING IT in their report, as shown recently by Billy Bob:
I showed you the actual sections of the IPCC report before that was specifically projecting a "hot spot" to show up, they showed that it was
GREENHOUSE GASES that makes the "hot spot", don't continue your stupid attempt to whitewash the IPCC's role in this since they are the ones PROJECTING THE IDEA TO THE PUBLIC!!!
At post 557, which you didn't challenge, showed that Satellite data does not support the concept as played out in the 2007 IPCC report, it is a miserable failure which is why you are now playing your stupid IPCC didn't say it rationalization. No one here will be impressed at your childish attempt to sweep that inconvenience away.
They still project a "hot spot" up there BECAUSE they have no choice, as it is a
central plank of the AGW conjecture for the never seen Positive Feedback Loop to show up from, it is a MILLSTONE around you warmists necks who has to live this epic fail down. Without it there wouldn't be a basis for the Positive Feedback Loop at all since that is where it was supposed to start from.
