RSSAs readers know, Raymond Bradley’s allegation that “text was just lifted verbatim from my book and placed in the Wegman Report” has been widely publicized following Bradley’s interview with USA today. The allegation pertains to Wegman’s boilerplate section (2.1) describing proxies, a section in which neither MBH98-99 nor MM2003, 2005abcd are mentioned, and on which [...]
Apparently Edward Wegman, author of the 2006 Wegman Report (pdf) on the failings of the ‘hockey stick’ graph, is being investigated by George Mason University for plagiarising Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary by Raymond Bradley even though the Wegman Report references Bradley’s book. Apparently this is a very exciting development for the warmista, even [...]
As reported over at Climate Audit, an important study on proxy reconstructions (McShane and Wyner 2010) is to be published in the Annals of Applied Statistics (one of the top statistical journals): A Statistical Analysis of Multiple Temperature Proxies: Are Reconstructions of Surface Temperatures Over the Last 1000 Years Reliable? It states in its abstract: We find [...]
An international team of scientists including Mark Williams and Jan Zalasiewicz of the Geology Department of the University of Leicester, and led by Dr. Thijs Vandenbroucke, formerly of Leicester and now at the University of Lille 1 (France), has reconstructed the Earth’s climate belts of the late Ordovician Period, between 460 and 445 million years [...]
Eduardo Zorita has a post at Klimazwiebel discussing a new paper by Smerdon et al: A new paper in press in Journal of Climate by Jason Smerdon from the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory and collaborators documents surprising, and somewhat inexplicable, errors in some previous pseudo-proxy studies by Mann and collaborators. Read the entire blog post: [...]
Shortly after the Climategate emails broke, a guest article was posted at Climate Audit. The article is important, but was rather overlooked by the sceptic community in all the excitement over the emails. “The Hockey Stick and the Milankovitch Cycle” uses some of the Climategate files to solve one of the remaining mysteries of the [...]
Understanding how the climate has changed in the past is essential if we are to put today’s warm climate into its proper perspective. There is a key question in the post-hockey stick era, and that is how warm was the Medieval Warm Period of a thousand years ago and how warm was the Roman Warm [...]
Douglas Keenan has finally succeeded in his quest via the FOI Act for Irish Oak tree ring data collected by Mike Baillie of Queen’s University, Belfast. (Details on keenan’s website here.) Steve McIntyre of Climate Audit fame observes in his blog post Mann of Oak : Responses to the decision from Baillie, Rob Wilson and [...]
Early Earth stayed warm because its ocean absorbed more sunlight; greenhouse gases were not involved, Stanford researchers say Researchers have long wondered why water on Earth was not frozen during the early days of the planet, when the sun emanated only 70 to 75 percent as much energy as it does today. Some theorize that [...]
California’s western Sierra Nevada had more frequent fires between 800 and 1300 than at any time in the past 3,000 years, according to a new study led by Thomas W. Swetnam, director of UA’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research. A 3,000-year record from 52 of the world’s oldest trees shows that California’s western Sierra Nevada was [...]
