a 5th grader could see the 0.05°C was the range of the prediction not the prediction of 0.64°C and 0.69°C.
That's certainly how it seemed to me however I had wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and be able to look at the report directly just to make sure that the context validated this interpretation. After all from what he provided you pretty much need to conclude this from reading just the single sentence.
Turns out downloading the IPCC AR4 report is a major pain in the ass but I figure I may as well continue the process just so I have it.
However you already knew this, you acknowledged this error almost 2 years ago but here you are again flippantly throwing out whatever number that makes your case.
That's always the case with skeptic arguments. They do not need to prove anything, their intent is to merely confuse and obfuscate. A good lie works quite as well as a bad truth and most times far better. Then when you respond with rebuttal after rebuttal it doesn't disprove their argument it actually reinforces their argument because now they can say "this discussion means that the science really isn't settled".
These are exactly the same techniques that have been used by the tobacco industry for the last 30 years and the thing is it's the very same people using these same techniques now against AGW. Again this is something I've posted about dozens of times I should probably keep track of them so that I can just copy the same post over but they're spread out over I have no idea how many different threads that it's usually easier to replicate the argument.
Just take a look at the following organizations all of which have been significantly involved in the fight against not only AGW but against anti-smoking legislation. And these are really just the ones I remember off the top of my head.

I don't know how to post a link
Then you should learn because by not providing any source for your assertion you are counting on people believing your assertions merely because *you* say so. And while I usually try to give folks the benefit of the doubt when someone posts ridiculous claims with no evidence whatsoever it gets old pretty quick.
I'm still waiting for you to back up you claim that the sun is increasing by 10% every 100 or 1000 years. Please prove me wrong but there is no single quantity related to the sun that increases on that short of a timescale. Even though I would prefer to give someone the benefit of the doubt this strains all credulity.
I honestly think that if he posts a link that is his proof.
Of course I do that's what everyone does if they are at the least bit responsible. If you make a claim you post supporting evidence so that the person that you're arguing with can examine your source and accept or rebut as the case may be. But you make claims based on *nothing* so of course there's nothing for anyone to check out and disprove.
In most cases people read the link and accept what is written, I spotted errors in one of the links he provided and refuted it.
This is a perfect example. Your so called refutation is merely you calling the author of the link I provided an idiot simply based on your say so. However your expertise in the realm of astrophysics has certainly yet to be established.
I repeat for at least the 5th time, provide some evidence that parameter of the sun is "increasing by 10% every 100 or 1000 years." If you can then perhaps, just perhaps I might be willing to accept your bald faced assertion about planets warming. Plus you really should learn how to post a link.
Here is an idea why don't you do a wiki search or maybe go to the times and look it up.
Here is an idea, do your own legwork. It's certainly not my responsibility to prove your case. If you want to make a case then fine I'll follow your links and at least give you the courtesy of reading the material you reference, but to ask me to do your work for you, no I think not.
