Why would you expect the temperature in the mid-troposphere in the tropics, as measured by balloons and satellites, to match models of global average temperature increase?
The increase in global average temperature has been about 0.15C per decade based on observational data. That would suggest the rise since 1975 should be about 0.6 C. The graph you posted shows about 0 1C. Why? The reason, as Christy (who helped Spencer with this graph) has stated previously, is because the observational data is unreliable from satellites looking at that mid-troposphere level. They have to infer that temperature by peering through higher levels.
The point is this graph doesn't tell you anything since it is comparing apples and oranges and expecting us to be shocked that the two aren't identical.
I guess though that since the graph shows the skeptics something that they wanted to believe anyway (models don't work), they'll turn off any skeptical or critical thinking part of their brain and accept it as truth.
And then call alarmists 'sheep' ...

The reason they failed was because they were designed in the beginning to exaggerate for a hate filled leftist agenda that needs lies to succeed and it needs the cooperation of a bunch of idiot drones. Their predictions are predictable and nearly always fail because they aren't based on science. They are based on need to exaggerate.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first rule of modelling is - the model is always wrong.......

The climate models put forth by the global warming alarmists do not contain all the solar forcing factors like cosmic rays, xrays, etc. They also do not factor in cloud cover, ocean currents, volcanic activity and other natural forcing factors either. Therefore they are just "fortune telling" alarmist propaganda.

Why do Asian girls always talk horrible things about Asian men's janitor faces, just like black men always curse black women's butcher faces?
