[…] Australia’s Joelle Gergis (another in a long line of activist scientists) and her colleagues did their best to resurrect Michael Mann’s notorious hockey-stick. The madness in their methodology evidently failed them. […]

I haven’t noticed this discussed anywhere. Some interesting slides in this doc…. What seems to be a seminar presentation by Phipps says that there is a special Journal of Climate issue devoted to PAGES Aus2k, due to appear in 2013.

According to document properties this was created on 09/27/12:

Phipps presentation, Sept. 2012

Gergis et al now listed as “in revision” with Journal of Climate:

So that they can apply revisionism, no doubt.

A whois lookup shows she has had that site since Jan 2007.

Very scenic picture on that page. Evidently taken by her. She has a copyright notice at the bottom of the page.

I had not seen this before….
Gergis has a personal website (quite different from her blog which was ‘disappeared’ last spring when the controversy began). Gergis et al (2012) is listed as “resubmitted September 2012, in review” on the publications page:

Re: Skiphil (Nov 21 18:30), ahhh, I was commenting upon a different abstract for another SH paper, which involved some of the same co-authors, but is not the one referenced on this thread.... that abstract appears further down in the PDF linked by Jean S.

Re: Jean S (Nov 21 17:32),

Is it “interesting” that Eric Steig of RC is now listed as a co-author?? I had not seen his name associated with this paper or with the SH group of the PAGES project before, although of course he does work on Antarctica…. would be interesting to know when and why he was brought into this group. Perhaps doing the dirty work as a cut-out for Michael Mann and the RC team…..

There’s that favorite word “unprecedented” — this time for their vast “network” of SH proxies.

btw what are the “300 sites” mentioned… do they really have so many or are they dividing previous “proxy” locations into multiple “sites”??
