Three cores were drilled at Dasuopu. We don’t hear much about Core #1. It was drilled in a flow zone and, despite being 160 m deep, is only back to 1922 in the most recent discussion. I’m intrigued with this for a variety of reasons, including the fact that Guliya Core #3, the one that […]
I’ve submitted two short review comments on Juckes et al – one on their representation of M&M issues and one on the Union reconstruction. The comment period expires on December 21. My comments overlap somewhat with Willis’ draft. I’ve paid attention to various comments by others here, but, in these short reviews, it’s hard to […]
Here’s a quick summary of the overlap of proxies in three widely publicized “independent” 2006 studies. The number of proxies are all small (Juckes -18; Osborn – 14; Hegerl – 12). All three use multiple bristlecone/foxtail chronologies: Juckes 4; OSborn 2; Hegerl 2. All three use Fisher’s Greenland dO18, Tornetrask (Juckes twice, Hegerl mis-identifying it); […]
Day Four at AGU didn’t have as much climate stuff as the first three days. Aside from Al Gore, I went to a number of ice core and ocean sediment presentations.
Al Gore was welcomed by a standing ovation from about 4,000 scientists from the AGU convention in the Salon 8 Ballroom at the Marriott San Francisco. He spoke for an hour and was a far more accomplished speaker than one remembers from Presidential debates, glancing only occasionally at notes. It was like a Southern Baptist […]
Despite ordering and paying for an upgrade to a VPS plan, this wasn’t implemented yet by the server and the site was still on the same server. Once again, traffic led to the server shutting down the site today. We’re back up still on the shared server. The upgrade to VPS is supposed to be […]
My notes are going to be quick as I’m off in a half hour.
It is impossible to convey the overwhelming number of papers and presentations here. Through the week, my notes have invariably deteriorated. By the time you get home, they are unintelligible. I’ m going to diarize them a little — so I don’t forget totally and to share a bit of the experience. (And since CA […]
I’m leaving tomorrow for San Francisco and will be presenting at the 8 am Union session 11-B on Monday morning. It takes me a long time to prepare short presentations. When I look at them, I wonder why it took so long. Al Gore is heading an AGU session on Thursday. If the convention center […]
The Yang version of Guliya goes back to “AD200” and is dated younger than Thompson et al 2004 (although a younger dating may also be in Thompson et al PNAS 2006). I did a quick comparison of the unarchived visual plot in Thompson et al (Science 1997) and compared it to the Yang version, yielding […]
