Until now, most of the surface temperature measurement stations I’ve highlighted as substandard locations for measuring temperature accurately have been in the USA. Today, courtesy of Geoff Sherrington, we are treated to the sight of the main Australian historic site, Melbourne metropolitan, near LaTrobe St, Melbourne. He reports it has max-min temp records daily since […]
The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) has issued a report as requested by the House Energy and Commerce Committee last year on data sharing in climate. The full report is here. The Republican press release is here . There are no signs that Lonnie Thompson will be required to archive his Dunde ice core sample […]
Let’s try this again. If there are things that people think are interesting to read, please post them here. If there are topics that people would like to have covered in a thread, please make the suggestion here. But please don’t use this thread for extended debate of issues – even if they seem important […]
The decision in Dimmock v Secretary of State – the Inconvenient Truth case in the U.K. – is online here. The realclimate commentary is here. The government commentary issued in supposed compliance with the decision is here.
Recently Keigwin’s Sargasso Sea dO18 temperature reconstructions have been mentioned in the climate public eye. Keigwin’s reconstruction famously has a warm MWP as shown below. This reconstruction uses modern dO18 measurements at Station S to calibrate two cores (with modern Station S values specifically shown in the graphic below): I observed last year that the […]
Dongge Cave is a very long speleothem in southeast China, which is held to provide evidence on changes in the Asian monsoon. It was most recently considered in Bao Yang et al (QSR 2007) in juxtaposition with the Dasuopu ice core, Oman speleothem S3 and the RC2730 Arabian Sea core showing G bulloides percentage. (This […]
No discussion of CO2 measurements, thermodynamics, theory of radiation, etc. please – other than to identify interesting references – and something more than the title is usually helpful. How hard can that be? If anyone can identify a clear exposition of how 2xCO2 leads to 2.5 deg C, please do so. (I’m not taking any […]
