[Ahem. Update: this was just wrong, because I misread the defn of POGA-C; see comment 2, thanks to TC. To avoid polluting the record, I'll delete the rest of this post, but there's an archived copy at http://www.webcitation.org/6JMTX0nGx if you like. The paper fairy has now delivered a copy of K+X to me, so I expect to post a "take 2" later this evening. Or maybe tomorrow; I might actually try reading it properly this time.]
I have a take 2 if you're interested, but its dull.

Every man and his lagomorph has a post taking the piss out of the "Ship of fools", so I won't bother. But (since I seem to have managed to get censored by every denialist blog I try to post on) I thought I'd make a handy list of said blogs and comments. Warning: there's no useful content anywhere…
This is my take 2. See here for my incautious take 1. Take 2 is not as interesting as take 1 - I no longer have an overall theme, and I don't feel inclined to contradict the take-home message. That reduces me to quibbling and a slight feeling of unease, though that may quite possibly be because I…
Seldom in the field of human conflict has so much been written by so many people on a subject about which they know nothing. Or so I'd like to hope: in the sense that I'd hope that the denialist chatter about peer review was the nadir. But I do know something about peer review, though my knowledge…
I'm going to intermittently keep track of the comments I make on other blogs. I'll spare you the totally trivial ones, but I don't guarantee this to be especially interesting. One point of doing this will be to track the ones that "disappear" on various sites (no names for now) that I've found don'…
John N-G did a nice, simple treatment of this a year or so ago. I've been surprised that it hasn't received much attention, though to my knowledge he never published it formally:

[That's not quite the same "this" as we're talking about here, but it is a very nice analysis of the impact of El Nino / La Nina on temperature trend. I think I prefer it to the Foster+Rahmstorf method, because of concerns I've seen http://troyca.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/another-reconstruction-of-underl… -W]
William, Tamino describes POGA-C as holding forcings constant at 1990 levels, while constraining the Tropical East Pacific to historical temperatures, ie, the reverse of your description. You may want to double check that.
[Oh, err, that's a good point, I'd completely missed that. I had better check. It would blow something of a hole in my argument :-) -W]

That analysis actually got a lot of typically wrong-headed attention from the bozos over at WUWT. It was somewhat hilarious.
