Arctic warmest in 2000 years

Posted By Dave Snope
And now we know that the peer-reviewed, Science-published Kaufman et al paper used the faulty Briffa Yamal chronology of cherry-picked tree ring data from a selected handful of trees that produce a hockey stick curve, while the complete population of tree ring data in the same area shows no hockey stick, shows the medieval warming period, and shows that this is not the warmest period in 2000 years.

Another AGW Scientist Disgraced

This data was also used in the Kaufman paper discussed on this board just a few weeks ago.

oldest temperature

I posted about this place months ago, but it has fallen off the 90-day limit on Astromart.

Here is their September temperature record, since we just finished September.



Here is their annual mean for the entire record.


The short red line is their '91-'99 average. Not sure why they would put that onto their record without including 10-year averages across the whole record. Might as well add a 2000-2009 average now, too.

The graph clearly shows unstoppable global warming at unprecedented rates ... from 1690 - 1740.

More deception from the UN

Posted By Dave Snope
For those not keeping a scorecard, this is the "Hanno" hockey stick, a CO2 vs temp plot, which is the non-peer-reviewed chart taken off of Wikipedia by the UNEP and used as science. Hanno is an ecologist, not a climatologist, and he claims no expertise in this subject matter and distanced himself from the graph while the UN gave it scientific legitimacy. A Wikipedia plot

It's easy to confuse this story with the recently discredited Briffa Hockey Stick tree ring data used by so many global warming researchers. It's also easy to confuse this story with the Mann, et al Hockey Stick curve that was discredited years ago and is no longer used by the IPCC but still shows up in the media from time-to-time and is featured prominently in Al Gore's movie.

More total BS from PHD

Posted By Dave Snope
What do you guys think? Is this a good example of scientific journalism? Are the numerous conclusions and causal inferences supported by the research that was performed?

As for me, I'm very interested in their scientific data and methods on CO2 reconstruction, although it doesn't sound like anything new. But it could provide a more refined data set that I am hopeful will be more accurate due to lessons learned from past failures in ice-core proxy methods. But how is one to know, for this story reads like a young beauty contestant's earth awareness speech. Which saddens me, for this seems to have become the norm in scientific reporting.

I do appreciate your attempts at satire, Jess and Rod. Keep it up! Although Jess, you seem to be denigrating women with your remark. My wife has me trained better than that.

“Carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas, and geological observations that we now have for the last 20 million years lend strong support to the idea that carbon dioxide is an important agent for driving climate change throughout Earth’s history,” she said.

Sure, Ms. Trapati. If you say so.

"Barth and others SUSPECT it is caused by climate change"

Didn't he just tell us that he's guessing that it's caused by wind, which he suspects is caused by climate change? Sure, give this salesman more money for his toy submarine. It's the perfect tool for studying long term wind patterns.

They don't know jack about climate change.

Barth just needs more money to continue his critical submarine glider research in the coming years, so he knows to toss out the phrase climate change wherever he can.

I'll bet you $ to donuts its an ENSO pattern and that the fishermen have known about it for 100 years.

DENVER -- Game 3 of the Philadelphia Phillies-Colorado Rockies playoff on Saturday night has been postponed because of cold, snowy weather.

...

A cold front moved into Denver overnight, dropping temperatures into the teens with record lows for the date. Coors Field was covered with a thin layer of snow and ice Saturday morning and flurries were expected to continue through the night.

Here is a very quick shot that I took this morning at 3am PST.

Location: Southern California
RGB = 5/5/5 seconds each, 1 sec subs
TEC160 & QSI583
FOV too small for M44 at 60' x 46'
