Introduction The purpose of this discussion paper is to review briefly the assumptions on sulfur emissions in the IS92 IPCC scenarios, advances in knowledge and modeling of future sulfur emission scenarios since IS92, as well as to initiate a discussion on how to incorporate future sulfur emissions trends into the new IPCC emissions scenarios. The present draft will be revised based on feedback received within the members of the IPCC writing team as well as additional outside experts. 2. Sulfur emissions in IS92 The treatment of sulfur emissions in the IS92 scenarios was comprehensive. In addition to the dominant energy sector emissions, also sulfur emissions from industrial processes and land-use changes (biomass burning) and (a constant flow) of natural sources were included in the scenarios. 1990 base year values in IS92 were as follows in MtS (Million tons, or Tg, elemental sulfur; to obtain weight as SO2 multiply by 2.): Energy Sector: 65 MtS Other Industry: 8 MtS Biomass burning: 2 MtS Natural: 22 MtS TOTAL: 98 MtS These global base year values are well within the range given by global sulfur emission inventories of 4 to 45 MtS natural sources and 65 to 90 MtS anthropogenic sources in 1990 (IPCC, 1995:135-141). A comparison of 1990 base year sulfur emission values from a number of scenarios and integrated assessment models is enclosed as attachment. However, as observed in the evaluation of the IS92 scenarios (Alcamo et al., 1995) regional sulfur emissions assumed in IS92 (e.g. for China) are much more uncertain. There is for instance up to a factor two difference between regionalized estimated of global inventories and aggregates of national and regional emissions inventories. Thus, the good agreement of base year values of IS92 at the global level masks important differences and uncertainties at the regional level. A first important task for the new IPCC scenarios is therefore to update the regional sulfur emissions baseline values with the results of latest regional sulfur emissions inventories. Such inventories are available for Europe through EMEP and CORINAIR, North America (NAPAP), and more recently also for Asia (e.g. the Worldbank sulfur project, Foell et al., 1995). Improved modeling of regional sulfur emissions (and deposition, i.e. impacts) patterns would also require a redefinition of the world regions as used in the IS92 scenario series. For instance, Canada is included in the region OECD-Europe, and the IS92 region "South Asia" includes both the Indian subcontinent as well as Indonesia. Their important differences in resource endowments lead to different patterns of sulfur emissions. Their differing predominant weather patterns and distinct ecosystems lead to differing acidic deposition patterns and impacts. Both factors preclude their aggregation into one single regional model. Active inputs from representatives of all respective modeling communities (regional acidification impacts, regional climate modelers, energy systems analysts) will be sought on this issue and lessons learned within EMF activities (M. Schlesinger) on appropriate sulfur regionalization (6 world regions) will be extremely valuable. Concerning future emissions of sulfur the IS92 scenarios project global anthropogenic emissions of between 150 to 200 MtS by 2050 and between 140 to 230 MtS by 2100 in the high growth cases, and of around 80-90 and 60 MtS in the two low scenarios (IS92c and IS92d) by 2050 and 2100 respectively. The IS92 scenario evaluation (Alcamo et al., 1995:281-282) concluded that the IS92 scenario series only partially reflect recent legislation to reduce sulfur emissions (e.g. the amendments to the Clean Air Act in the US or the Second European sulfur protocol). Hence, particularly regional sulfur emissions in OECD countries projected in IS92 are much higher than more recent scenarios taking account these legislative changes (as also discussed by IPCC, 1995:155-156). For instance the recent scenarios of the Commission of the European Communities (EC, 1996) indicate that sulfur emissions by 2020 will be between 64 to 77 percent below 1990 emissions levels, or between less than 2 to 3 MtS, compared to 8 in 1990. For comparison, the IS92 scenarios project for OECD Europe (including Canada) sulfur emissions between 8.4 (IS92a and IS92b) and 11.7 (all other scenarios) MtS by 2020, i.e. between 2 to 30 percent lower than in 1990 (12 MtS). In addition, integrated assessment models are increasingly able to model in greater detail driving forces of sulfur emissions as well as acidification impacts (cf. discussion below). These model simulations suggest that particularly in Asia acidification impacts would require substantial sulfur emission control measures already much earlier than 2050. The resulting global sulfur emissions are substantially lower than suggested in the IS92 series: typically in the range between 20 to 80 MtS by 2050 and between 20 to 120 MtS by 2100. (A comparison of global sulfur emissions scenarios with and without specific sulfur control assumptions in enclosed as attachment.) 3. What's New since IS92 (scientific front) The importance of aerosols including those from sulfur emissions is by now widely recognized and considerable progress has been made to quantify their effect on regional climate, both in large GCM simulations as well as in more simplified integrated assessment models, e.g. MAGICC's SCENGEN module (needs checking for details with Mike Hulme) or Michael Schlesinger's work within the EMF (current status: uncertain). The importance of sulfur emissions as input to climate models is therefore larger than ever. As a result of a major World Bank study on acid rain in Asia also improved national and regional sulfur emissions inventories have become available (Foell et al., 1995). Improved emissions inventories outside North America, Europe (including the European part of the former USSR), and Asia (excluding Oceania, for which only sparse data seems to be available) have not been made available since publication of IS92. As a result, models and scenarios continue to rely on estimates, largely based on approximate mass and sulfur balance approaches in the world regions for the Middle East, Southern Africa, and Latin America (cf. discussion of data availability below). Similarly, acidification impact models are increasingly being refined for regions outside OECD in particular for Asia. Acidification impact studies for unabated sulfur emissions of coal intensive ''business as usual'' scenarios indicate exceedance of critical loads of up to a factor 10 already within the next three to four decades (Amann et al., 1995) with enormous impacts on natural ecosystems as well as important foodcrops (Fischer et al., 1996). Increasingly also energy sector and integrated assessment models link regional acidification models with simplified climate models enabling joint analysis of sulfur and climate policies and impacts. Examples include the IMAGE model (Posch et al., 1996) and the IIASA integrated assessment model (Rogner and Nakicenovic, 1996) that are linked with the acidification model RAINS for Europe and Asia, the AIM (Morita et al., 1994) model for Asia, or ???? for North America. These models extend earlier energy sector models that dealt with a comparative costs assessment of isolated sulfur and carbon reductions, and joint mitigation respectively, such as the OECD GREEN model (Complainville and Martins, 1994). The state of knowledge of joint benefits of sulfur and carbon emission reductions was reviewed in the 1995 IPCC WG III report (IPCC, 1996: 215-218) and is expanding rapidly. 4. Data requirements The most obvious data requirements concern of course comprehensiveness of sulfur emissions by major source category (anthropogenic and natural, energy sector and other industrial sources). Here the data model of the IS92 scenarios appears appropriate and would only require a reassessment in view of most recent data concerning regional emissions (particularly in China, where data uncertainties seem largest). A more difficult question concerns spatial disaggregation. Independent from the question of which formal models are being used to check for scenario consistency, the outmost spatial detail currently in driving force models with global coverage available is at the level of world regions (typically around 10, but going up to around 20 world regions). Both climate as well as acidification models require inputs at finer spatial resolution. It is unclear at present what would constitute a ''minimum'' or ''desirable'' level of spatial disaggregation for the variety of user communities of new IPCC scenarios. Existing model links (like with the RAINS model) could be used in some regions like Europe and Asia to generate spatially highly disaggregated sulfur emission and deposition maps as inputs for climate models and for impact assessment studies (e.g. for agricultural crop yield models). In their most advanced versions the model links even incorporate regionalized differential growth trends and thus improve on the standard practice of renormalizing base year spatial emission and deposition patterns linearly with a particular sulfur emissions scenario. For regions where similar links are unavailable, more simplified procedures will need to be devised, keeping in mind the overall tight time frame of the scenario exercise. Two data sets (are there more??) appear available for regionalized sulfur emission patterns: the Oak Ridge GAIA data set (spatial resolution: ????) and the Spiro et al. (1992) data set (spatial resolution: one degree by one degree). An open (but extremely critical) issue remaining to be resolved is to identify mechanisms and responsible groups that could provide the link between the spatial resolution of the new IPCC scenarios sulfur emissions to whatever final geographical scales required by impact assessment and climate models. 5. Scenarios and Sulfur Policies There are two major sets of driving force variable that influence future sulfur emissions. 1. Level and structure of energy supply and end use, and 2. degree of sulfur control policies assumed. (Because of the dominance of energy related sulfur emissions, they should receive particular attention in the new scenarios. Industrial sources could be included in the scenarios with much a simpler driving force model, e.g. coupling to industrial output.) Ceteris paribus, highest sulfur emissions occur in scenarios of high demand growth, rapid resource depletion, limited technological change and absence of sulfur control policies outside OECD countries. In terms of energy supply structures such scenarios imply a massive use of coal, including synfuel production. Typical examples would include the IS92e and IS92f scenarios. Up to ca. 2050 sulfur emissions in such scenarios roughly grow in line with fossil fuel use and resulting carbon emissions, i.e. a roughly constant sulfur to carbon emissions ratio. Post 2050, still in absence of sulfur control policies, growth rates of sulfur emissions start to fall short of growth in fossil fuel use due to the internal technology logic of synfuel production: synfuel production requires prior coal conversion (e.g. gasification) and removal of sulfur prior to further conversion, e.g. to synliquids. Ceteris paribus, therefore sulfur emissions relative to those of carbon decline. Sulfur emissions are lower in scenarios with 1. lower demand, 2. more ample resource availability (especially for natural gas), 3. higher rates of technological change (especially for non-fossil energy technologies), and 4. extent and timing of direct sulfur control policies especially outside OECD countries (itself function of projected impacts like acidification), and finally, 5. level of other environmental control measures and valuation of environmental goods (e.g. sulfur emissions are also lower in scenarios imposing limits on GHG emissions). Next to environmental impacts and policies, there are also other key relationships that need to be considered for the formulation of future sulfur scenarios. For instance, the literature on environmental Kuznets curves (cf. e.g. World Bank, 1992, or IIASA-WEC, 1995) argues that with increasing affluence and valuation of environmental goods, sulfur emissions decline. This hypothesis is corroborated by both longitudinal and cross-sectional empirical data. Thus, in the process of industrialization and economic development, emissions rise initially, pass through a maximum (say at income levels around 2000 $/capita) and decline thereafter with rising per capita incomes and the resulting preference of cleaner end-use fuels, valuation of clean environments, etc. A scenario taxonomy along the dimensions of demand, resource availability, and technological change in any case is necessary to respond to the critique on the IS92 series that these important driving forces were not varied appropriately to reflect both uncertainty as well as new scientific knowledge and empirical evidence. They form part of the overall scenario design process and the scenario ''storylines'' and need not to be addressed specifically in the work on sulfur emissions. Separate ''sulfur stories'' could be developed in addition, based on various relationships between sulfur emissions and levels of affluence, industrial structure, etc. within the overall framework of the scenario ''storylines''. Here sulfur emissions would be part of other environmental policies (e.g. on water quality, urban traffic related pollutants, etc.) that form integral part of particular scenario ''storylines''. A key variable remains the timing and extent of sulfur control policies to be assumed for the new scenarios. First of all the scenarios need to reflect changes in actual policies implemented. As noted above, IS92 did not take full account of recent environmental legislation in both North America and the second European sulfur protocol. Secondly, the sulfur policies to be assumed, need to reflect recent scientific findings, in particular the very large local and regional impacts on agricultural crops and ecosystems of unabated high sulfur emission scenarios, particularly in Asia. Therefore, all scenarios should assume faster and deeper reductions in sulfur emissions outside OECD countries than were assumed for IS92 in light of this recent scientific evidence. The exact timing and extent of such sulfur reduction measures could then be scenario dependent. Also no specific reference to individual policy measures would need to be made (to avoid normative policy elements, or recommendations, in the scenarios), as reduction profiles could be adopted from existing sulfur reduction scenarios in the scientific literaursement by UE (Action COST) for the lecturer, but for this I hope to >have an answer as soon as possible. > >Thank you for your answer > >Best regards > >I'm Bernardo Gozzini and I work with Marco Bindi in the organisation of this >seminar because Marco in the next week will leave for USA for two months and >he cannot follow it >****************************************************************** >Bernardo Gozzini >Ce.S.I.A.-Accademia dei Georgofili >Piazzale delle Cascine, 18 >50144 FIRENZE ITALIA > >tel: 39 + 55 + 354895 / 354897 >fax 39 + 55 + 350833 >e-mail: gozzini@sunserver.iata.fi.cnr.it >****************************************************************** > >

Chris -----Original Message----- From: infopost@duke-energy.com Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 12:00 AM To: infopost@duke-energy.com Subject: TE Critical System Warning November 27, 2001 TEXAS EASTERN TRANSMISSION, LP (Texas Eastern) continues to operate under the Critical System Warning issued November 26, 2001. Based on anticipated system operations and weather conditions, as stated below, Texas Eastern is requiring that all customers take immediate and prompt steps to eliminate excess receipts and conform scheduled receipts to actual deliveries. This system-wide warning is issued as a result of actual receipts into the system significantly exceeding actual deliveries. This Critical System Warning shall remain in place until further notice. Weather in the market area continues to be unseasonably mild and shippers have been filling contract storage inventories in anticipation of the coming winter heating season. At this time, Texas Eastern's storage capacity is approximately 98% full. As a result, there is virtually no storage capacity or line pack available for system operational purposes and Texas Eastern cannot continue to absorb actual imbalances left on the system. Due to the critical nature of this situation, and the fact that Texas Eastern no longer has the ability to further absorb imbalances being left on the system, Texas Eastern requests that all customers coordinate with their suppliers the actual quantities received into the system match actual customer takes in the market area. No due pipe gas will be accepted into the system until further notice. If immediate action does not result in reducing the current volume of gas being left on the system, Texas Eastern may be forced to issue an operational flow order ("OFO") requiring actual receipts of gas to match actual deliveries out of the system, which will be subject to the OFO non-compliance penalty of $25 per dekatherm. In addition, and as provided for in Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, Texas Eastern will take any other actions as may be necessary to protect the integrity of its system, including, but not limited to, suspension of OBA's. ******************************************************************* NOTE: Duke Energy Gas Transmission respects your online time and privacy.

Kevin: Rob Benson called me this morning to ask about the process for Permanent Residency (Green Card). At this time, I have been asked to hold on all new Green Card applications until further notice. However, we might want to amend Rob's visa status from L1B to L1A, making it easier, faster and cheaper to process the Green Card, hopefully in the near future. Rob was originally brought into the US in the capacity of Associate and this is why we used the L1B visa and not the L1A at that time. Now that he is a Director, we should be able to amend his visa to L1A. (The L1A is usually for Managers or above, or someone managing a function). Do I have your authority to go ahead with the amendment? The approximate cost is $1,000. Thank you Margaret x51529

NorskeCanada announced today plans for additional curtailment for the first quarter of 2002 at its B.C. paper operations, as weak economic conditions have reduced demand for the company's products. Norske is planning to shutdown 2 paper machines until market conditions improve. No. 3 paper machine at Port Alberni and No. 1 paper machine at Elk Falls are currently scheduled for shutdown in the 1Q02. A third paper machine, No. 1 at Crofton, is also planned for shutdown during the month of January. This translates into about 34,000 MT for 1Q02 at Elk Falls (since Port Alberni produces mostly directory) and about 12,000 MT at the Crofton mill for January. Given the uncertain economic climate, the company will review curtailment plans monthly so it can be quick to respond to any upturn in market conditions. Please find the Downtime database for 2002 attached below. Ayesha

SL: Trump Criticized from All Sides on Tax Returns Donald Trump's refusal to release his tax returns, as well as his false claim that voters would learn nothing from them anyway, demonstrates he is not being forthright with the American people and is unfit to occupy the White House. His returns, according to experts, would answer a number of outstanding questions about whether Trump is paying his fair share and offer a true measure of his personal wealth and his charitable giving. Never mind that Donald Trump is now backtracking on his previous commitment to transparency. When Trump first considered running for President in 1999, he said he, "probably wouldn't have a problem with" releasing his tax returns if he ran. Later, in 2012, he said if you're running for President, "at a minimum, probably, you're going to have to show your [tax] returns" and they should be released by April 1st of the election year. Washington Post Fact Checker: Trump's false claim that 'there's nothing to learn' from his tax returns "Trump falsely claims that voters would learn nothing from his tax returns. To the contrary, voters would learn a lot of information that Trump has long tried to hide from the public. Tax returns would help lift a veil of secrecy about Trump's finances - and let voters know whether his claims about his wealth and charitable giving are true, or if he's just a bombastic man behind the curtain akin to the Wizard of Oz. Four Pinocchios." Wall Street Journal: Criticism Grows Over Trump's Withheld Tax Returns "Mr. Trump has offered shifting explanations for his lack of disclosure, including the fact that his returns were currently under audit. He said voters aren't interested in the returns. And he said they don't reveal wealth. That's true, but they would show information about his sources of income, his aggressiveness in tax planning and his charitable deductions. Mr. Trump claims a net worth exceeding $10 billion, though independent estimates peg that far lower. Mr. Thorndike, who directs the Tax History Project at Tax Analysts, a nonprofit tax policy center, said the tradition of presidential and other candidates releasing returns exists for a reason. 'It's the principle of the disclosure, that someone running for the highest office in the land and someone who incidentally would be making sure that the rest of us live up to our tax obligations, should be willing to show us that he lives up to his,' Mr. Thorndike said." Washington Post: Trump, prompting criticism, indicates he may not release tax returns before Election Day "Former GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who has been one of his party's most vocal critics of Trump, called Trump's decision not to release returns "disqualifying" in a statement release on social media. 'It is disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service,' Romney wrote. 'Mr. Trump says he is being audited. So? There is nothing that prevents releasing tax returns that are being audited.' Romney has previously accused Trump of attempting to conceal a "bombshell" by withholding the release of his taxes, which he repeated again Wednesday. Romney's hesitation to release his own tax returns became an issue in the 2012 campaign." Boston Globe: Trump says he won't release tax returns "Trump's refusal to agree to release the documents prompted an immediate backlash from both Democrats and Republicans, including a harsh condemnation from 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. ... Modern presidential candidates have grown accustomed to releasing documentation so voters can make informed decisions about their qualifications. The candidates release letters from their physicians that provide some details about their health, and usually release financial information as well. Trump himself was a major force pushing President Obama to release his birth certificate - and he also criticized Romney for not releasing his taxes earlier in 2012." U.S. News and World Report: Trump Still Won't Release Tax Returns "A closer look at Trump's finances might also feed skepticism of Trump's claim he is worth $10 billion. A businessman overseeing a vast real estate empire - albeit with multiple failed companies and four bankruptcies on his resume - Trump's tax returns won't reveal the true amount of his wealth, but they could clear up other lingering questions. In February, when Trump's taxes surfaced as a campaign issue, David Cay Johnston, author of "Perfectly Legal: the Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich - and Cheat Everybody Else," detailed the kind of damning information Trump's full tax returns could potentially contain. Not only could the public learn his income and the scope of his charitable giving -which has been called into doubt - the returns could indicate whether Trump is leveraging his assets and thus vulnerable to defaulting on his debts. It also would show if he, like other wealthy Americans, has claimed negative income to avoid paying income tax."

Dear folks, This email briefly summarizes the trend significance test results. As I mentioned in yesterday's email, I've added a new case (referred to as "TYPE3" below). I've also added results for tests with a stipulated 10% significance level. Here is the explanation of the four different types of trend test: 1. "OBS-vs-MODEL": Observed MSU trends in RSS and UAH are tested against trends in synthetic MSU data in 49 realizations of the 20c3m experiment. Results from RSS and UAH are pooled, yielding a total of 98 tests for T2 trends and 98 tests for T2LT trends. 2. "MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE1)": Involves model data only. Trend in synthetic MSU data in each of 49 20c3m realizations is tested against each trend in the remaining 48 realizations (i.e., no trend tests involving identical data). Yields a total of 49 x 48 = 2352 tests. The significance of trend differences is a function of BOTH inter-model differences (in climate sensitivity, applied 20c3m forcings, and the amplitude of variability) AND "within-model" effects (i.e., is related to the different manifestations of natural internal variability superimposed on the underlying forced response). 3. "MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE2)": Involves model data only. Limited to the M models with multiple realizations of the 20c3m experiment. For each of these M models, the number of unique combinations C of N 20c3m realizations into R trend pairs is determined. For example, in the case of N = 5, C = N! / [ R!(N-R)! ] = 10. The significance of trend differences is solely a function of "within-model" effects (i.e., is related to the different manifestations of natural internal variability superimposed on the underlying forced response). There are a total of 62 tests (not 124, as I erroneously reported yesterday!) 4. "MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE3)": Involves model data only. For each of the 19 models, only the first 20c3m realization is used. The trend in each model's first 20c3m realization is tested against each trend in the first 20c3m realization of the remaining 18 models. Yields a total of 19 x 18 = 342 tests. The significance of trend differences is solely a function of inter-model differences (in climate sensitivity, applied 20c3m forcings, and the amplitude of variability). REJECTION RATES FOR STIPULATED 5% SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL Test type No. of tests T2 "Hits" T2LT "Hits" 1. OBS-vs-MODEL 49 x 2 (98) 2 (2.04%) 1 (1.02%) 2. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE1) 49 x 48 (2352) 58 (2.47%) 32 (1.36%) 3. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE2) --- (62) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) 4. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE3) 19 x 18 (342) 22 (6.43%) 14 (4.09%) REJECTION RATES FOR STIPULATED 10% SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL Test type No. of tests T2 "Hits" T2LT "Hits" 1. OBS-vs-MODEL 49 x 2 (98) 4 (4.08%) 2 (2.04%) 2. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE1) 49 x 48 (2352) 80 (3.40%) 46 (1.96%) 3. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE2) --- (62) 1 (1.61%) 0 (0.00%) 4. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE3) 19 x 18 (342) 28 (8.19%) 20 (5.85%) REJECTION RATES FOR STIPULATED 20% SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL Test type No. of tests T2 "Hits" T2LT "Hits" 1. OBS-vs-MODEL 49 x 2 (98) 7 (7.14%) 5 (5.10%) 2. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE1) 49 x 48 (2352) 176 (7.48%) 100 (4.25%) 3. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE2) --- (62) 4 (6.45%) 3 (4.84%) 4. MODEL-vs-MODEL (TYPE3) 19 x 18 (342) 42 (12.28%) 28 (8.19%) Features of interest: A) As you might expect, for each of the three significance levels, TYPE3 tests yield the highest rejection rates of the null hypothesis of "No significant difference in trend". TYPE2 tests yield the lowest rejection rates. This is simply telling us that the inter-model differences in trends tend to be larger than the "between-realization" differences in trends in any individual model. B) Rejection rates for the model-versus-observed trend tests are consistently LOWER than for the model-versus-model (TYPE3) tests. On average, therefore, the tropospheric trend differences between the observational datasets used here (RSS and UAH) and the synthetic MSU temperatures calculated from 19 CMIP-3 models are actually LESS SIGNIFICANT than the inter-model trend differences arising from differences in sensitivity, 20c3m forcings, and levels of variability. I also thought that it would be fun to use the model data to explore the implications of Douglass et al.'s flawed statistical procedure. Recall that Douglass et al. compare (in their Table III) the observed T2 and T2LT trends in RSS and UAH with the overall means of the multi-model distributions of T2 and T2LT trends. Their standard error, sigma{SE}, is meant to represent an "estimate of the uncertainty of the mean" (i.e., the mean trend). sigma{SE} is given as: sigma{SE} = sigma / sqrt{N - 1} where sigma is the standard deviation of the model trends, and N is "the number of independent models" (22 in their case). Douglass et al. apparently estimate sigma using ensemble-mean trends for each model (if 20c3m ensembles are available). So what happens if we apply this procedure using model data only? This is rather easy to do. As above (in the TYPE1, TYPE2, and TYPE3 tests), I simply used the synthetic MSU trends from the 19 CMIP-3 models employed in our CCSP Report and in Santer et al. 2005 (so N = 19). For each model, I calculated the ensemble-mean 20c3m trend over 1979 to 1999 (where multiple 20c3m realizations were available). Let's call these mean trends b{j}, where j (the index over models) = 1, 2, .. 19. Further, let's regard b{1} as the surrogate observations, and then use Douglass et al.'s approach to test whether b{1} is significantly different from the overall mean of the remaining 18 members of b{j}. Then repeat with b{2} as surrogate observations, etc. For each layer-averaged temperature series, this yields 19 tests of the significance of differences in mean trends. To give you a feel for this stuff, I've reproduced below the results for tests involving T2LT trends. The "OBS" column is the ensemble-mean T2LT trend in the surrogate observations. "MODAVE" is the overall mean trend in the 18 remaining members of the distribution, and "SIGMA" is the 1-sigma standard deviation of these trends. "SIGMA{SE}" is 1 x SIGMA{SE} (note that Douglass et al. give 2 x SIGMA{SE} in their Table III; multiplying our SIGMA{SE} results by two gives values similar to theirs). "NORMD" is simply the normalized difference (OBS-MODAVE) / SIGMA{SE}, and "P-VALUE" is the p-value for the normalized difference, assuming that this difference is approximately normally distributed.

Rejection rate: 68.42% T2: No. of p-values .le. 0.20: 15. Rejection rate: 78.95% Bottom line: If we applied Douglass et al.'s ridiculous test of difference in mean trends to model data only - in fact, to virtually the same model data they used in their paper - one would conclude that nearly two-thirds of the individual models had trends that were significantly different from the multi-model mean trend! To follow Douglass et al.'s flawed logic, this would mean that two-thirds of the models really aren't models after all... Happy New Year to all of you!

Hey Luis, I wanted to share this with you, but also check-in to see if the DNC can make a statement on PR especially with both candidate's campaigns out in Puerto Rico this week. Bernie Sanders is in Puerto Rico today with a townhall event (details ) and Bill Clinton will be there tomorrow (see details below). Please let me know what is possible. I would like to move on convening a national call to help elevate the issue, but want to make sure this is ok to do and also think once we make a statement it makes it better to move forward with a call after. Thank you, Bridgette Hillary Clinton Statement on Puerto Rico Hillary Clinton released the following statement on the political status of Puerto Rico: "The people of Puerto Rico have a proud history and a distinct heritage--and as American citizens, they are entitled to have their voices heard on critical issues that affect them. All Americans should be able to vote for the people who make their laws. "During my presidency, I will work as hard as I can with the people of Puerto Rico and with advocates from all sides to answer the fundamental question of their political status. It is up to the people of Puerto Rico to decide, and I commit to supporting their decision. "A process to resolve Puerto Rico's legal status must be fair and consistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the decision should be made by majority vote. I will support any process that meets these terms, such as an up or down vote on statehood. It is time to bring this issue to closure. "Additionally, all American citizens, no matter where they reside, should have the right to vote for the President of the United States. I expressed that in 2008 and I reiterate that position again today." Declaraciones de Hillary Clinton sobre Puerto Rico Hillary Clinton realizó las siguientes declaraciones sobre el estatus político de Puerto Rico: "El pueblo de Puerto Rico posee una orgullosa historia y un patrimonio distintivo y, como ciudadanos estadounidenses, tienen el derecho que sus voces sean escuchadas en los asuntos críticos que les afectan. Todos los estadounidenses deberían poder votar por las personas que formulan sus leyes. "Durante mi presidencia, trabajaré tan fuerte como me sea posible con el pueblo de Puerto Rico y los defensores de todas las ideologías para contestar la pregunta fundamental de su estatus político. La decisión debe ser tomada por el pueblo de Puerto Rico y me comprometo a apoyar su decisión. "Un proceso para resolver el estatus legal de Puerto Rico debe estar basado en opciones que sean justas y consistentes con la Constitución y las leyes de los Estados Unidos y cuya decisión sea por voto mayoritario. Apoyaré cualquier proceso que cumpla con estos términos, cómo lo es un voto sí o no sobre la estadidad. Es tiempo de cerrar este asunto. "Además, todos los ciudadanos estadounidenses, no importa dónde residan, deben tener el derecho de votar por el presidente de los Estados Unidos. Lo expresé en el 2008 y reitero mi posición hoy nuevamente." President Bill Clinton to Campaign for Hillary Clinton in Puerto Rico On Tuesday, May 17, President Bill Clinton will campaign for Hillary Clinton in Puerto Rico ahead of the June 5 caucus. President Clinton will attend public events in Bayamón, Cayey, and Ponce where he will discuss why Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to fight for Puerto Rico and build ladders of opportunity for Puerto Rican families. Media interested in covering these events should RSVP here by Monday, May 16 at 10:00 PM.
