In 2002, Lonnie Thompson drilled a 460 meter ice core in a col between Mounts Bona and Churchill in Alaska. As of October 2003, they had analyzed over 5600 samples and concluded that the core covered approximately 2500 years. A presentation was made at AGU in December 2004. The data was not discussed in IPCC […]
As most of you now know, Climate Audit has been declared co-winner of the 2007 Weblogs Award for Best Science blog (together with Bad Astronomy.) This decision was made with the agreement of all parties. Some of you have been understandably a little puzzled and seeking to interpret the matter. Here’s a bit of the […]
Hans Erren has digitized the Ababneh Sheep Mountain version and I’m going to show some extremely interesting knock-on results both on MBH98-99 and Mann and Jones 2003. I started in on Mann and Jones 2003, partly for a little variety and partly because the Sheep Mountain impact was particularly strong on this network. Before I […]
Yesterday, I posted up about “Dr Thompson’s Thermometer” and, thanks to CA readers, some interesting results emerged. A special thanks to Tim Lambert for spotting the provenance of Dr Thompson’s thermometer. The post today will repeat some of yesterday’s material, but will recast it, since we now understand the puzzle much better. In Inconvenient Truth, […]
Surprisingly, I don’t think that I’ve written previously about the Al Gore Hockey Stick. In Inconvenient Truth, after a segment discussing glaciers, Gore stands in front of a Hockey Stick graph for the last 1000 years and tells his audience that “Dr Thompson’s thermometer” had shown the inconsequentiality of the Medieval Warm Period and, [in […]
OK, the voting is over. The vote (at closing) was CA 20,242; BA 18,993, but scrutinizing is still taking place. Thanks to everyone who supported Climate Audit. Both blogs obtained an incredible number of votes today and can walk away with both satisfaction and amazement. The volume in the Science blog today seems to have […]
David Holland has a new and interesting article entiitled Bias And Concealment In The IPCC Process: The Hockey-Stick Affair And Its Implications in which the proprietor of this blog is mentioned on occasion.
Update 6.30 pm Eastern: Access to the voting seems to be easier again. BA is more than 250 votes ahead tho. Bump. climateaudit is running a strong 2nd about 200 votes ahead of last year’s winner (Pharyngula) and about 500 votes behind Bad Astronomy. Polls close Nov 8. You can vote once every 24 hours. […]
In recent discussion of the Weblog 2007 Awards, several commenters at other blogs have argued that our criticisms of the Mannian parlor tricks have been “thoroughly refuted and discarded by climatologists, published in a credible journal”; that “other professionals in the field who also have “looked in great detail at the problem at hand” and […]
As a result of the Weblog Awards contest, I’ve been introduced to a number of blogs, such as Bad Astronomy and Pharyngula, of which I’d been previously unaware, although they are both popular and have a loyal following. Bad Astronomy has a set of links to what it calls Anti-Antiscience sites, which include their rival […]
