Can someone explain statistical –test and –significance using words that Deniers like kano can understand?

Question

I ran a two-tailed t-test (results shown below) on the RSS mean annual temperatures from 1979-1996 and 1997-2014 (the “pause”).

I used the same RSS dataset that was used to build the stupid graph that Maxx constantly posts.

I used a freeware statistical program (“OpenStat”) that anyone can download in order to run the test themselves.

[NOTE: Since Deniers ignore sample size (e.g., the “No Global Warming Since…Whenever” graphs), so did I.]

======

However, according to kano (who thinks that Maxx’s stupid graph and the other junk on WUWT IS scientific evidence):

Kano -- >>You call that significant warming, I dont!<<

Kano -- >>statistical tests are science. your opinion is not.<<

Hey Dook · Accepted Answer

No.
The question assumes that Kano wants to understand statistics, or climate change, or anything at all that doesn't confirm his uninformed erroneous delusions about science and how it works.
Deniers do not want to understand anything that might contradict their denial.

If he or any other science-hater vaporizes this answer (as many thousands of pro-science answers have been vaporized here in recent years), I will repost it.

>>How can you call 0.03 significant<<

What in the world are you looking at and thinking?

Here is the relevant part of the output:

"Assuming dependent samples, t = -5.306 with probability = 0.0001 and 17 degrees of freedom"

Would you like to try again?

In the reality-based world, it is called science.

Stupid people are gullible and since you don’t know anything about anything, you are the one who has been made a fool.
