I also have to take issue with the definition of "Baseline" here, because this is pretty important, and fairly telling that two people who are seemingly excited about what the OP implies, have two completely different definitions of it.
Superbelt: Baseline data, by it's definition, is static. It doesn't change. The baseline data in this case would be the annual mean temp from either 1775- 1880 or 1880-1885. Which one is not clear, but i don't think it matters much.
Raneneye: Though your explanation was quite convincing, so much so I'm not sure where to begin...Baseline data is not long term averages or means over a 30 year period nearly 80 years AFTER data has been collected.
It's interesting how the two of you probably are very excited about what this model shows, but differ entirely in your definitions of how it's data is generated. both of you couldn't be more wrong about what it's "baseline" (comparison in case you didn't know) data is.
