A Concern: Ken Fritsch makes the following comment: While your efforts to avoid the implication of censoring of opposing views should be commended, I am not a little distracted by the noise levels that I find come from (a) personal debates that frequently do not add to the knowledge base of the specific topic at […]
Yesterday we had an all-time record number of hits: 9,354. This broke the previous record of 6780 (set on October 22) and not just by a little bit. Unfortunately due to a computer problem, we don’t have a count for the first 10 days of October, but I’m sure that we were over 150,000 hits […]
A few days ago, realclimate announced that they had reached 1 million hits. Congratulations to them. They’ve been in operation for 10 months – my guess is that they got off to a very fast start, which would mean that an upper estimate of their current hit rate would be 100,000 hits/month. We’re pretty close […]
The Toronto Racquet Club is having its centenary this year and held a “century” squash doubles tournament this week-end – the teams had to be at least 100 in combined age. The proprietor of this blog is feeling weary today, after playing 4 matches and having one of his very occasional tournament wins. We played […]
I attempted to post a comment up at realclimate in response to the following: #Re: response to #63: "And of course once the data is published, others are free to reinterpret it and/or use it in another way." It seems that one good step would be for journals to require public archiving of all primary […]
Recently one of our correspondents asked: Could we get some feature so that one can see the date or date/time of last post to a thread? Or so that one can go back and check for any threads that have had recent posts? It’s not just for unreasonable things like me going back through last […]
1. What recent movie features the House Energy and Commerce Commitee? It even shows a hearing. Who befriends the star? What state is the Committee chairman (in the movie) from? 2. In what movie does Steven Spielberg play a county clerk? What does he do in the movie? 3. After Steffi Graf, what German-born tennis […]
I’m asked from time to time for references on statistics. I’m going to start posting up some links and references in a Page (see right frame). Here’s one that I noticed which is both an excellent introduction to R and to statistics. John Verzani, Using R for Introductory Statistics The nice thing about R packages […]
I’ve had an abstract accepted for the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) Workshop, "Climate Science in Support of Decisionmaking," to be held November 14-16, 2005. My abstract is entitled: "More on Hockey Sticks: the Case of Jones et al [1998]".
Taimyr is one of the sites in Esper et al [2002]. It does not make a material contribution to any hockey stick-ness in Esper. The authors have some very interesting things to say about AGW which I’ll post up in a day or two. For now, I want to post up the following graph, which […]
