Here is an interesting contemporary report from a stock market observer about a Bre-X skeptic: I n our Stockex Issue 6/96 of October – November last year we wrote as follows, at about the time Bre-X was being asked to go on a blind date with Barrick. “Remarkably, given the involvement of groups like Kilborn […]
In 1996, Bre-X, a speculative exploration company, claimed to have found the biggest gold discovery in the history of the world. At the 1997 Prospectors and Developers Association Convention held between March 10-16, 1997 in Toronto, John Felderhof, Vice President of Bre-X, received an Award as Man of the Year; I’m pretty sure that Michael […]
Crowley and Lowery [2000] is a key part of the Hockey Team. The data versions used by Crowley were never archived and have now been mis-placed. However, Crowley sent me smoothed and transformed versions of the data in Oct. 2004. The diagram below is a simple color-coded plot of the Crowley data set – illustrating […]
After about 26 emails and about 9 months, in October 2004, Crowley told me that he had "mis-placed" his original data, but did send me a smoothed and transformed version. The version in the email ties to Figure 2 of Crowley and Lowery [2000], but differs from the spliced versions in the spaghetti diagrams of […]
Mann recently told a realclimate reader that : No researchers in this field have ever, to our knowledge, "grafted the thermometer record onto" any reconstruction. It is somewhat disappointing to find this specious claim (which we usually find originating from industry-funded climate disinformation websites) appearing in this forum. Two archived versions of Crowley [2000] contain […]
Now it seems that we’re playing against an entire Hockey Team. First things first, what should the team be called: the Kyoto Flames? the IPCC Heat? the Blades? the Fever? I thought it would be fun to think up lines for the hockey team. I’ve toyed with different ideas. Do you put the grizzled veterans […]
Our analysis in our two recent articles, in GRL and E&E, has moved well beyond the points made in MM03, while building on them. Mann has recently claimed that all of our claims in MM03 have been discredited. I thought it would be interesting to look back at the claims in MM03 and see how […]
The first 5 PC series from the CENSORED directory at Mann’s FTP site are displayed.
What is ironic in Mann’s citation of Cook as authority that paleoclimatologists need not provide a range of verification statistics is that Cook et al. [2004] actually provide a suite of verification statistics, headed by the R2 statistic, which Mann et al. now object to.
There has been extensive coverage of our research in the National Post, a leading Canadian newspaper, over the last few days. The entire article from Natuurwetenschap & Techniek was re-printed in two installments, together with a National Post editorial, all of which are online: Breaking the hockey stick The lone Gaspé cedar Let the science […]
