Gore Gored: Monckton replies

Nov 22, 2006 – 7:13 AM

Chris Monckton has replied to Al Gore’s characterization of his articles here. The relevant section on the Hockey Stick is on page 11. I know that Steve does not agree with all of Monckton’s analysis, so can we take that as read?

Monbiot v Monckton Round Two

Nov 16, 2006 – 2:24 PM

As a workaround to the server configuration issue, I have moved the last 45 comments from the original Monbiot v Monckton thread so that the conversation can continue. This will mean that the numbering will refer to what it was in the orginal and not what it is here, but c’est la vie

Monbiot v Monckton

Nov 16, 2006 – 2:18 PM

For those who missed this, George Monbiot penned his reply to Monckton’s two part articles here dipping his metaphorical pen in concentrated sarcastic acid. I can’t say I’m impressed with Monbiot’s arguments because they appear to be of the distinctly strawy kind. He does mention asking Gavin Schmidt about blackbodies (in relation to Monckton’s use […]

New Emanuel Presentation

Nov 8, 2006 – 9:09 PM

Howard Wiseman sends in: I attach a link to Dr. Kerry Emanuel’s recent powerpoint presentation at the Southern New England Weather Conference which focuses on TC activity in the Atlantic. The download is a bit slow, and the presentation is pretty familiar ground. Emanuel’s conclusions are presented with breathless inevitability (surprise). No comments on the […]

Stern Review – Technical Appendix

Sep 24, 2006 – 11:17 AM

AS both David H’s observe, the Stern Review is expected next month. Their science views are summarized here. I may post some headnotes at a later time, but it’s an interesting browse and some of you may wish to comment on it specifically.

Royal Society and Detection/Attribution

Sep 23, 2006 – 7:23 AM

The U.K. Royal Society has recently sent a letter to ExxonUK which has attracted commentary about whether it is an interference with free speech (see Roger Pielke and the discussion there) . I’m interested in a different aspect of this letter – their reliance on IPCC detection and attribution discussion. The Royal Society takes exception […]

Nature Again

Sep 6, 2006 – 6:47 AM

We took another try at Nature corrspondence. In their news report on the Mann graph discussed here , they stated: In its report, released on 22 June, the NAS committee more-or-less endorses the work behind the graph. They published a whining letter about the NAS panel and news conference by Mann et al, where they […]
