Here’s a post which I wrote last June but didn’t post up at the time because the NAS Panel report came out and I had other pressing matters to comment on. My post as then drafted started: Last week, through Chefen, Jean S and myself, here here here and here , we showed that MBH98 […]
A few people, most recently Jean S, have pointed out the interesting critique of the Stern Review (I should have posted up this thread earlier). Abstract:The Stern Review: A Dual Critique Part I: The Science Robert M. Carter, C. R. de Freitas, Indur M. Goklany, David Holland & Richard S. Lindzen Part II: Economic Aspects […]
There seems to be lots of interest in solar issues and lots of controversy among specialists. For now, let’s simply look at the millennial proxies for solar activity. For now, I don’t want to discuss issues like cosmic ray modulation or that sort of stuff on this thread – all in good time. Put it […]
Paul Linsay continued his look at the statistics of hurricanes by looking at the entire record, which I present here: I went back and repeated the analysis for the Atlantic hurricane data but this time used all the data back to 1851. There is some question about undercounts prior to 1944 but I ignored that […]
Luboà…⟠Motl has kindly directed our attention to the following interest paper by S. Redner and M. Petersen, On the Role of Global Warming on the Statistics of Record-Breaking Temperatures, scheduled for publication in Phys Rev Letters E, presently online here with abstract: We theoretically study long-term trends in the statistics of record-breaking daily temperatures and […]
Continuation of Unthreaded. Continued by Unthreaded #3
Al Gore’s hockey stick is from Lonnie Thompson’s ice cores. [Update: subsequent to this, we discovered that Al Gore’s hockey stick is not “DR Thompson’s thermometer” but Mann’s hockey stick wearing a wig.] On previous occasions, we’ve talked about the Guliya ice core -Thompson’s failure to archive data; the use of three different and inconsistent […]
One of the remaining things that needs to be fixed is LaTeX support on the blog, and I’d appreciate a little help to solve a problem.
Here’s an interesting SST proxy from the Gulf of Mexico that I meant to report on last October, but is actually more timely now given our recent discussion of hurricanes. When I corresponded with Lloyd Keigwin around the time of the Juckes submission, he mentioned a “beautiful” unpublished high resolution core from Poore in the […]
Here is Bob K’s image of Cat 3 plus hurricanes in three 50-year tranches. Are the changes climatological or methodological?
