RSSRemember the Steig et al 2009 Nature paper? As Steve McIntyre points out at Climate Audit: “Like so many Team efforts, it applied a little-known statistical method, the properties of which were poorly known, to supposedly derive an important empirical result. In the case of Steig et al 2009, the key empirical claim was that strong [...]
“Only by playing with data can scientists come up with the infamous ‘hockey stick’ graph of global warming.” Read the excellent summary of the ‘hockey stick’ saga in the National Post: Ross McKitrick: Defects in key climate data are uncovered
Blogger Bishop Hill follows up his Casper and the Jesus paper story with a layman’s guide to the Hockey Stick temperature reconstruction entitled The Yamal implosion.
Here’s a re-cap of this saga that should make clear the stunning importance of what Steve has found. One point of terminology: a tree ring record from a site is called a chronology, and is made up of tree ring records from individual trees at that site. Multiple tree ring series are combined using standard [...]
Team ‘Hockey Stick’ is infamous for highly questionable temperature reconstructions of the Northern Hemisphere, Antarctic, Atlantic Hurricanes, and now Arctic temperatures as published in Science magazine on 4th September 2009: Recent Warming Reverses Long-Term Arctic Cooling Darrell S. Kaufman et al, Science 4 September 2009: Vol. 325. no. 5945, pp. 1236 – 1239 DOI: 10.1126/science.1173983 [...]
The Abstract below is from a recent paper by Millet, L., Arnaud, F., Heiri, O., Magny, M., Verneaux, V. and Desmet, M. 2009, entitled: Late-Holocene summer temperature reconstruction from chironomid assemblages of Lake Anterne, northern French Alps. The Holocene 19: 317-328: We present a chironomid-based reconstruction of late-Holocene temperature from Lake Anterne (2060 m a.s.l.) [...]
In their 2007 report, IPCC working group 1 refers to an increased heterogeneity of climate during medieval times about 1000 years ago. This conclusion would be of relevance, as it implies a contrast in the spatial signature and forcing of current warmth to that during the Medieval Warm Period. Our analysis of the data displayed [...]
New Scientist, also known as Nude Socialist magazine, never misses the opportunity to use the derogatory phrase ‘climate-change deniers’ in order to smear sound scientific argument against an unverifiable computer modelled catastrophe driven by harmless aerial plant food gas. The latest opportunity has arisen courtesy of a new paper in Science magazine by Trouet el [...]
Jennifer Marohasy: Modellers Remove Evidence of Cooling and Editor Removes Comment by Climate Sceptic Is Antarctic Warming Real or “Mann”-Made? A Note from Fred Singer Climate Science: Follow Up On Today’s AP Article By Seth Bornenstein Entitled “Study: Antarctica Joins Rest Of Globe In Warming” Prometheus: Consistent With Chronicles, Antarctic Edition More on Antarctica and [...]
Nothing to do with President Obama’s first full day in office, I’m sure, but it just happens to coincide with a new paper in the journal Nature entitled, ‘Warming of the Antarctic ice-sheet surface since the 1957 International Geophysical Year,’ by Eric J. Steig, David P. Schneider, Scott D. Rutherford, Michael E. Mann, Josefino C. [...]
