The point is that having two pages between every model run about the base state being warmer is not necessary. It disrupts the flow of those trying to track the differences between model runs. We all know the base state is warming and whether it is a natural cycle, man-made or a combination of both is a topic to discuss in other threads. We don’t need to be told every run that if this were the 1960s this pattern would result in a snowier outcome… PEACE OUT….
