RSSNature News reports on a new PNAS paper by Patterson et al that uses clamshells in order to reconstruct temperatures in Northwest Iceland over a 2000 year period up to the year 1660: Most measures of palaeoclimate provide data on only average annual temperatures, says William Patterson, an isotope chemist at the University of Saskatchewan [...]
University of Southhampton, UK, National Oceanography Centre, News Release: The notion that scientists understand how changes in Earth’s orbit affect climate well enough for estimating long-term natural climate trends that underlie any anthropogenic climate change is challenged by findings published this week. The new research was conducted by a team led by Professor Eelco Rohling [...]
Cartoon by Josh. Bishop Hill has been interviewed by The Register’s Andrew Orlowski about his new book The Hockey Stick Illusion: In 2001 the IPCC published its Third Assessment report prominently featuring a graph that became “the logo of global warming”. Previous historical reconstructions didn’t show our modern warm climate as particularly anomalous. This was [...]
The Meteorological Office is blocking public scrutiny of the central role played by its top climate scientist in a highly controversial report by the beleaguered United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Professor John Mitchell, the Met Office’s Director of Climate Science, shared responsibility for the most worrying headline in the 2007 Nobel Prize-winning IPCC [...]
Steve McIntyre has an excellent post on Climate Audit entitled: IPCC and the “Trick.” Roger Pielke Jr gets the point too in a blog post entitled: The “Trick” in Context. Do have a read.
Excerpt: At the forefront of those who found suspicious the graphs based on tree rings from the Yamal peninsula in Siberia was McIntyre himself, not least because for years the CRU refused to disclose the data used to construct them. This breached a basic rule of scientific procedure. But last summer the Royal Society insisted [...]
Some scientists never learn. Mann et al have a new paper published in Science, 27th November 2009: Global Signatures and Dynamical Origins of the Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Anomaly Michael E. Mann, Zhihua Zhang, Scott Rutherford, Raymond S. Bradley, Malcolm K. Hughes, Drew Shindell, Caspar Ammann, Greg Faluvegi, Fenbiao Ni Global temperatures are [...]
Steve McIntyre writes on the Climate Audit mirror site: For the very first time, the Climategate Letters “archived” the deleted portion of the Briffa MXD reconstruction of “Hide the Decline” fame – see here. Gavin Schmidt claimed that the decline had been “hidden in plain sight” (see here. ). This isn’t true. The post-1960 data [...]
Finnish TV have interviewed Steve McIntyre and Richard Lindzen about their work on climate change. The programme provides an excellent summary of the Hockey Stick controversy and Lindzen’s recent climate sensitivity paper. The transcript in English is here.
