Comments on: A new reconstruction of past climate http://climateaudit.org/2006/03/03/a-new-reconstruction-of-past-climate/ by Steve McIntyre Tue, 21 May 2013 15:32:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ENM » How to start a science blog (scary version) http://climateaudit.org/2006/03/03/a-new-reconstruction-of-past-climate/#comment-45071 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 21:18:58 +0000 http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=557#comment-45071 [...] The lack of data archiving and due diligence in Nature and Science that allowed this fraud has been highlighted again and again here. ClimateAudit, dedicated to documenting the ongoing quasi-litigation of journals and authors in the dendroclimatology field to make public their data and methods (What? Scientists don’t reveal their data and methods?) underlying claims to the famous hockey stick theory of recent temperatures, may have been instrumental in the formation of a National Academy of Science panel Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Past 2,000 Years: Synthesis of Current Understanding and Challenges for the Future. I admit I have a dog in this fight, having tapped out a short article on simulations using random numbers that produce temperature histories remarkably similar to most reconstructions (here and here). These results show that concerns that climate histories may be affected by various forms of undocumented ‘cherry-picking’ such as inter-site selection, are justified. [...]

I have been a bit quiet as I have been working on a new application involving RSS. From http://landshape.org are links to set of blogs that search the internet for updates on any information. The one of most interest here is the “Hockey Stick Graph”. This is just starting out, so it will get better ordered information as time goes on, and I sort out the kinks in the RSS feed. Comments welcome. Here is the frontpage blurb.

“Never in the history of the world has the barrier for entry into the marketplace of ideas been so low…”

Weblogs or “blogs” were initially seen as an outlet for vain meanderings of teenagers, but have rapidly expanded in scope and form into many areas of science. Using the emerging productive applications of weblogs in science, including aggregated web feeds, the RSS and Atom standards, we have developed a number of blogs aggregating the latest information from all over the web in niche subject areas. These can be used to:

* Read any item in the interest area posted anywhere on the web.
* Search and list new pages, images, videos, news items and articles nightly.
* Subscribe to email update.
* Quick searches using title keywords.
* Subscribe to RSS feeds.
* Comment on posts.

The following blogs are currently supported:

* ENM: The Science and Statistics of Environmental Niche Modeling.
* Avian Influenza
* Brown Tree Snakes
* Global Warming
* Ecological Niche Modeling
* Hockey Stick Graph

Is there an article in there on what to do when trying to get data files out of a researcher who thinks he’s above the normal rules of academic discourse?

Many thanks to Louis Hissink the editor for the rapidity of this publication. It is actually a very interesting newsletter with articles on the IPCC, and a summary of the state of the Hockey stick (or hokey stick). There are articles on the K-T boundary controversy and how to set up an exploration company.

Publication in its current form would indicate that the editors of Science are more interested in conjecture than in firm scientific findings.

Ouch!
