August ACE for the Northern Hemisphere was 63 which is much less than the climatological average of 115. The Western Pacific again was much below average.

This is a false dichotomy, created by using my real null hypothesis NH1, and Dr. Meier??s straw man null hypothesis NH2.

They say the feedbacks, measured in Watts per square meter of the Earth per Celsius degree of direct warming, add up to 2. So the equation tells them to multiply by 3.
