Ritson at realclimate did not thank me for helpful discussions on autocorrelation despite lengthy correspondence on my part with him. I thought that the histogram that I posted up earlier today looked familiar. So I looked back at my correspondence with Ritson (who posted up on autocorrelation at realclimate and sure enough, I’d sent the […]
realclimate today has a post How Red are My Proxies? which is so weird it’s worthy of Rasmus. (Note: see lsubsequent comment here). They discuss the autocorrelation properties of North American tree ring proxies, something about which I know a lot. They say: Using data from the North American network of seventy sets of tree […]
The American Meteorological Society has recently placed all but their most articles online here. These include many important publications. Going from one extreme to another, the Tree Ring Society has also placed their archives online here,
This is not a topic that interests me. John A is interested in it; I’m inclined to think that Hunter’s interpretation of 19th century documents is plausible.

Someone pointed out that Environmental Science & Technology, which published a scurrilous attack on us, was published by the American Chemical Society, whose Code of Conduct online here says that it “expects its members to adhere to the highest ethical standards.” One clause states: Public comments on scientific matters should be made with care and […]
A common theme to recent questions has been the relationship of ring width chronologies to temperatures, and, in particular, the relationship of bristlecone chronologies to temperature. Rob Wilson has recently weighed in on this. While it was nice of Rob to present some new material, people should not lose sight of the fact that the […]
