Is anyone interested in starting a separate thread on water vapor and cloud feedbacks? While it is of some relevance to the hurricane/global warming topic, the relevance is indirect and this topic certainly has enough scientific meat for its own thread (provided people are sufficiently interested.

I’ve transferred a discussion from Road Map to a separate thread here. Here’s a plot of monthly CET temperatures and a simple R script to download the data and make the plot. The warmest months are as follows: <><><><>< JAN 1916 FEB 1779 MAR 1957 APR 1865 MAY 1833 JUN 1846 JUL 2006 AUG 1995 […]
I have just returned from Sweden and Holland and had an extremely enjoyable trip. I will post on scientific aspects of both visits in subsequent posts, but for now wish first to record my appreciation for the personal hospitality shown to me in Sweden by Fred Goldberg and in Holland by Marcel Crok of NWT.

I’m leaving for a week in a few hours and will only be in intermittent contact. No fighting please. Anybody that feels like fighting – take a deep breath and don’t. Save it till I come back. If you’re suspended by John A while I’m away, too bad. TCO, this includes you. Maybe bender or […]
Judith Curry mentioned an AGU session on integrity in science. I’m thinking about sending in the following abstract. I’d need to do so by the end of the day. Any thoughts? If science articles and findings are communicated to the public with the possibility that they may influence policy, then scientists must be prepared for […]
Session U12 of the AGU Fall meeting (Session organizers: Gerald North, Bette Otto-Bliesner, John M. Wallace, and Ian Kraucunas[ of NRC]) has the following session description Numerous studies concerning large-scale surface temperature reconstructions have been published over the last decade. The National Research Council recently completed a report summarizing the status of these efforts. The […]
In 2000, Lonnie Thompson drilled ice cores at Kilimanjaro which were published 2 years later. In 2003, they drilled ice cores at Bona Churchill in Alaska. They made a presentation at AGU with press release in 2004 about looking for (and not finding) White River Ash from an 803 AD eruption. But no publications so […]
Add this phrase from economics to your vocabularies to describe the "other" studies where proxies with known HS shapes like bristlecones and Yamal are used time after time. Here’s a website with some links. They cite Sullivan, Timmermann and White (1999) and White (2000) for the following definition: "Data-snooping occurs when a given set of […]
Here are posts from Francois and Dano on Tilman et al.

Two presentations in Holland on Sept 14 – a private presentation in the morning at KNMI and a public presentation at 7.30 in the evening at the Free University in Amsterdam presented by Natuurwetenschap & Techniek […]
