Had an Email from a friend about This post which gives a very nice summation of the very serious problems for followers of the green religion when it come to their reliance on proxy data in Paleo-climatology.
If you’ve seen Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”, you will remember the long, long graph with the surge in temperatures at the end, which was incontrovertible evidence that the Earth is warming in an unprecedented fashion… apparently. Gore claimed that the graph was from ice core records and that it therefore supported the hockey stick and refuted its critics. Except it wasn’t from ice cores at all, it was just a reprint of the hockey stick itself. Yes folks, he made it up.
Another blog for the blog roll I think

Yup. Strangely that graph is missing from the latest IPCC report.
The ice-core data actually reveals a warming period in the Mediaeval Ages. Must have been all those smoke stacks they had back then, right?
Don’t be so mean you guys. (a statistician will get the lousy pun).
10,000 delegates flying by Evil Jets to a luxury resort aren’t doing it for nothing, you realise?
Yeah Keith
if they were serious they would all go to Bali by sail boat rather than jet plane…
Or swim. That’d be fun to watch. 🙂
If they’re swimming, can we send the Japanese whalers in that direction to conduct crucial research. 😈
