Short hiatus while moving to new home

Today Tomorrow (Thursday) sometime around 11am Pacific Standard Time, this server will go offline to be moved to its final home inside a colocation data center in California. The IP address will change, so give Anthony and team a couple of hours to move the server and reconfigure. Steve will change the domain climateaudit.org to […]

So while I fix the problem, CA may look peculiar as I might have to change themes temporarily. Your comments will still get through, so keep typing. Update: I think I’ve […]

It concerns a paper written by two experts on scientific forecasting where they perform an audit on Chapter 8 of WG1 in […]
