Jeff Id has identified another intriguing mystery in the arduous problem of determining what Mann’s realdata was. Jeff observed that the version of the Luterbacher lutannt10 series in Mann’s infilled data version allproxy1209 was different than the version of lutannt10 in allproxyoriginal (Sep 5 version), illustrating this as below: I’ve verified this information; below is […]
Discussed here with embedded youtube clips. Here is a clip on the Stick. Try not to puke.
My interest in climate change derived in part from experience in the stock market where “consensus” is not infrequently established in favor of opinions that are completely incorrect.

However these studies are not “independent”; the vast majority of the “independent” studies use the same stale proxy data. In my Erice presentation (which I’ll […]
Jeff Id has an interesting post in which he examines the 148 “missing” series. Check it out. I haven’t verified the calculation, but will do so. I submitted a comment at his blog observing that the two “Fisher” series are actually Dahl-Jensen borehole reconstructions from Greenland. These two series were said to have been used […]
There’s an amusing little incident with the deleted “original” data set that was posted up for a few minutes at Mann’s website – you know, the data set that was first demonstrably referenced by a CA reader in the early morning of Sep 5. (I’ll reserve comment for now on issues relating to the timestamp […]
