The work of McIntyre and McKitrick has been mentioned on slashdot (after an interminable wait, it seems) theidocles writes "The ongoing debate over the ‘hockey stick’ climate graph has an interesting side note. McKitrick & McIntyre (M&M), the critics, have published their complete source code and it’s written using the well-known R statistics package (covered […]
This was sent to me by Ross McKitrick, a man who knows how to ruin an Englishman’s afternoon with a single e-mail. The Canadian Government, fresh from doubling its estimate of how much the Kyoto Protocol will cost the Canucks, and without a clue as to what to do about crashing the Canadian economy mitigating […]
There are many regional proxies from around the world that do show the existence of a warm period (warmer than today in most places) called the "Medieval Warm Period" or "Medieval Climate Optimum" roughly from 900-1350AD and a "Little Ice Age" roughly from c.1450 to 1850AD. Amongst the strongest evidence of this is a study […]
In human behavior, when people have stated a position that they believe to be true, they are subsequently loath to admit error, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. To be wrong, is in a sense, to sense shame or failure. But the fact is, we’re all wrong from time to time. […]

Here on climateaudit, it never fails to amaze us how many different ways that the Hockey Stick appears in various guises. But on the other hand, its use in the context of "greenhouse warming", "anthropogenic climate change" or the Kyoto Protocol appears almost universal. For all the bleating about "other studies" which "confirm the Mann, […]
It’s been too long since our last round of Spot the Hockey Stick! but despite the impressive backpedalling of some that the Mann, Bradley and Hughes study is sooo old hat and soooo last millennium, it’s still being cited at breathtaking pace as the best thing in climate science since the thermometer. Thus we come […]
