Mr Weitzman reckons they should look instead at events that are less likely to materialise but cannot be ruled out (the right-hand tail of the curve), such as a massive temperature increase within a century.
That is why there has been no increase in global temperatures for more than 10 years now, and the most reliable and relevant atmospheric temperatures monitored by satellite show only a marginal temperature increase throughout the entire 35 year record.

We know the exact rate at which seawater expands with temperature, and the expected increase in sea level calculated from the observed increase in temperature matches the observed rate of increase of sea level.
FORBES: What If Mike Bloomberg Is Right And A Climate Change Nightmare Is Here?
We can directly measure the results that solar forcing had, such as in driving CO2 out of the oceans by heating them up, and the resultant increase in temperature that this increase caused.
FORBES: Antarctic Temperatures Are Rising Twice As Fast As Previously Predicted
Projections indicate that Earth's air temperature could increase anywhere from two degrees to five degrees Celsius by 2100.
The study simulated changes in agricultural yields as a result of changing precipitation and temperature patterns, finding that crop yields may increase under the higher temperature and precipitation under many climate-change scenarios in this region.
"We're experiencing the most rapid increase in temperature in recorded history, " he said.
The inspection was expected to last three to four hours, with an increase in temperature of less than 1C, Tepco officials said.
During the star's extended eruptions, the researchers noted that V1647 gathers mass, spews plasma and X-rays, and exhibits a staggering increase in temperature.
By overclocking the microprocessor, graphics cards and other components, a hot-rodder is likely to increase the temperature inside the minitower, which necessitates more cooling fans.
Troy Squires of FieldTurf says the increase in temperature is minimal.
Temperature decreases as you increase elevation, not the opposite.
President Bush said Friday the United States and the rest of the world's worst polluters should work together to set a goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that have triggered a global increase in temperature.
Also shown are the projections of the likely increase of temperature, as published in the Summaries of each of the four IPCC reports, the first in the year 1990 and the last in the year 2007.

While it is possible to imagine doing so in a way that cancels out the change in average temperature caused by an increase in carbon dioxide, such a reduction would not simply restore the status quo.
In Hong Kong, the city's government Friday said it would increase body temperature checks of all arriving passengers at immigration control checkpoints, including those at airport and ferry terminals, as a precautionary measure against the spread of H7N9.
