Both Luboš and David Stockwell have drawn attention today to the distribution of digits in Hansen’s GISS, suggesting that the distribution is, to borrow an expression, a fingerprint of anthropogenic impact on the calculations. I disagree with both Luboš and David and don’t see anything remarkable in the distribution of digits. I don’t disagree with […]
Lucia has an interesting post on how GISS Model E deals with heat from viscous dissipation here. This is an excellent and technical discussion of a specific modeling issue. It is precisely the sort of discussion that I think is instructive and useful in this field: a specific issue about a specific model. If the […]
Note: I’m having trouble publishing new posts at WUWT, so since it has been awhile since I posted at CA, I thought I’d share this puzzle with CA readers while I wait for the issue to be resolved. – Anthony A simple question; what is that red dot on the map? I was looking at […]
Most of you are aware of the voting right now for the 2008 Weblog Awards. Anthony is winning handily; Climate Audit is also doing well, running a strong third. (2008 Logo on right leads to vote.) Anthony is a friend of mine and I’m very pleased on his behalf, though, truth be told, I’d be […]
I had a pleasant interview yesterday afternoon with Tom Yulsman of the Center for Environmental Journalism in Colorado. He also posted an article yesterday reporting on an interview with Roger Pielke Jr in which Yulsman described me as a “gadfly”. I don’t know whether this was posted before or after our interview; he didn’t mention […]
It seems a bit mean that Dan Hughes had to post an interesting Unthreaded comment on a year-old thread with nearly 1000 comments.
Over the past 30 years, Finnish dendrochronologists have developed a “supra-long” tree ring chronology now stretching back (Helama et al 2008) to 7600BP, well into the Holocene Optimum. Earlier versions of this chronology have been reported in many articles (e.g. Helama et al 2002, Eronen et al 2002 and references back into the 1990s plus […]
A little progress on this front since my last post on this issue. I received a pleasant note from Glenn McGregor acknowledging the changes to my note, in which he said that he would ask the publisher of IJC, the Royal Meteorological Society, to provide a statement of their data archiving policy. Given that the […]

A few posts ago, I used the term “‘fingerprint’” (in quotations) in connection with the big red spot that one commonly sees in the upper tropical troposphere in contour plots of projected temperature trends by latitude. On an earlier occasion, we’d talked about Ross McKitrick’s “T3” ( here.)
