Juckes has archived 64 reconstruction variations in the file mitrie_new_reconstructions_v01.csv (mirrored in mitrie_new_reconstructions_v01.nc). The 9th platter in the jukebox is mr_mbh_1000_cvm_nht_01.02.001_pc – which is some kind of composite-variance-match version of MBH (whle he has 1 CVM version each for Esper, Hegerl, Jones and Moberg, he has no fewer than 7 different versions for MBH and […]
I vaguely remember an English joke about how certain Oxford colleges qualified prospective fellows. They’d invite them to a garden party and serve them a bowl of cherries and see how they disposed of the pits. I forget what the candidates were supposed to do. In the Team Euro Moberg composite, Team Euro has constructed […]
The Euro Hockey Team (EHT) present a variety of results using CVM methods on proxies from 5 canonical Team studies: Jones Briffa 1998; MBH99; Esper 2002; Moberg 2005 and Hegerl 2006. CVM (take the average of scaled proxies and re-scale the average to match the instrumental record) seems to me to be a less dangerous […]
Team Euro’s CPD submission online here has done a commendable job archiving data in their supplementary information online here . It’s by no means perfect, but it’s a big improvement in practices in the field. So while they’ve chosen to unfairly disparage my own efforts in respect to source code, perhaps one can construe the […]
Douglas Keenan has published an excellent comment on his attempt to replicate the prominent study by Chuine et al [Nature 2004] of harvest dates in Burgundy. The article being criticized is all too typical of a climate article in Nature – lurid headlines, lamentable statistics, ineffective peer review and obstructive authors. It’s really nice to […]
This is not going to be an especially interesting post for most (probably any) of you, but I want to document a couple of points mostly as an aide-memoire for myself so I don’t forget. I actually learned something new about the Jones et al reconstruction from the Euro Team study. I’ve been able to […]
The Stern Review has been published today here . I don’t intend to spend much time on it, but others may wish to comment. I noticed that he cited Hansen’s “Warmest in a Milllll-yun Years” article as authority for the claim that it was the warmest in 12,000 years. It s frustrating when policy recommendations […]

I raise here a troubling issue pertaining to potential academic misconduct by the Euro Hockey Team. They stated: The code used by MM2005 [the GRL article] is not, at the time of writing, available, …. First, this statement is obviously untrue. The code used in McIntyre and McKitrick 2005 is available at the SI to […]
