Feedback on the work of McIntyre and McKitrick

Volkskrant: The Hockey Team Strikes Back

Oct 29, 2005 – 3:05 PM

Martin van Calmthout (who boo’ed the award to Marcel Crok) has published a long article in today’s Volkskrant in Holland. I have enclosed a somewhat tidied machine-translation from altavista.com; I don’t speak Dutch and don’t vouch for anything. (update: Hans Erren edited a prior version and his version follows). The Dutch version follows the English […]

Is Gavin Schmidt Honest?

Oct 29, 2005 – 8:39 AM

I attempted to post the enclosed post at realclimate yesterday, which was rejected. The post was to a topic, where McKitrick and I were directly criticized, and limited to scientific matters.

More on von Storch !!

Oct 26, 2005 – 12:32 PM

It looks like there is a huge cock-up in the von Storch and Zorita Comment, which completely screws up their simulations. We alluded to a defect in their methodology in our Reply, but I didn’t realize just how big a defect it was.

VZ and Huybers Comment and Reply

Oct 25, 2005 – 1:14 PM

The von Storch and Zorita Comment and the Huybers Comment, together with our replies, were published by GRL this week. I previously posted up on VZ here and on Huybers here, here and here and have nothing to add at this time. Original copies of VZ is here; our Reply is here; Huybers’ comment is […]

Reply to Huybers #3: Principal Components

Oct 19, 2005 – 11:13 AM

I previously posted up two comments on our Reply to Huybers here and here, the first of which contained some new material. Here’s the third and final instalment, discussing Huybers’ comments on principal components. While principal components were really only one aspect of our critique, the reaction of the Hockey Team and the “community” to […]

Reply to Ritson

Oct 18, 2005 – 10:39 PM

A few weeks ago, I mentioned here that the new editor-in-chief of GRL, Jay Famiglietti, had removed James Saiers as our editor, had made remarks about our papers to Environmental Science & Technology that can be construed as critical, had pulled two rejected Comments out of the garbage can (including one that had been press […]

UMass Magazine on Bradley

Oct 14, 2005 – 2:33 PM

There’s another puff piece on Raymond Bradley in the U Mass magazine entitled Never Mind The Weather. The article reports, among other things, that: Bradley says he is sickened by the coordinated and well-financed campaign to discredit the data he and others like him are generating. If Bradley were asked to name people who were […]

Major British Review on Economics of Climate Change

Oct 14, 2005 – 7:57 AM

Ian Castles has been a frequent and welcome poster here. It must be very gratifying for him to see the following announcement on Oct. 12, 2005: The [U.K.] Chancellor announced on 19 July 2005 that he had asked Sir Nicholas Stern to lead a major review of the economics of climate change, to understand more […]

Trenberth [1984]

Oct 12, 2005 – 3:01 PM

UCAR scientist Kevin Trenberth was quoted by Environmental Science & Technology as saying that newcomers to the climate field sometimes do “incredibly stupid” things. I don’t necessarily disagree with this and we have intentionally kept our published comments to very narrow matters that have been resistant to refutation attempts to date. The concern about over-reaching […]
