The word “hide” has obviously attracted a lot of attention lately – “hide the decline” even occasioning its own song. Today I’d like to discuss the following remarkable instructions by a NASA employee in the recently disclosed NASA emails (available at Judicial Watch): Robert, please move to the CU site and hide this after Jim […]
The UK Science and Technology Committee today announced an inquiry into “THE DISCLOSURE OF CLIMATE DATA FROM THE CLIMATIC RESEARCH UNIT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA” with the full text of the press announcement as follows:
As many of you are aware, two remarkable books have been published in the last 10 days, both reporting on the backstory of events covered by this blog. Andrew Montford is Bishop Hill. Steve Mosher is, of course, Steve Mosher. The focus of the two books is surprisingly complementary. Montford’s book was longer in the […]
I’m going to be overseas in Thailand for two weeks visiting my son and my attendance at CA will be spotty. I’ve been a bit spotty as well the last few days both getting ready for the trip and because I was in the Ontario Doubles squash tournament – tournaments are very tiring if you’re […]
As per a request initiated by Bender, here is a critique of the recent Lindzen and Choi paper. Citation: Lindzen, R. S., and Y.-S. Choi (2009), On the determination of climate feedbacks from ERBE data, Geophys. Res. Lett., 36, L16705, doi:10.1029/ 2009GL039628. http://www.seas.harvard.edu/climate/seminars/pdfs/lindzen.choi.grl.2009.pdf Abstract: Climate feedbacks are estimated from fluctuations in the outgoing radiation budget […]
If anyone is wondering whether emails by U.S. government employees are “private” and “personal” – an assertion sometimes made in respect to emails at CRU, an institution subject to UK FOI – the answer in respect to NASA GISS appears to be no. Link: Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained internal documents from […]
Today I’ll review one interesting sentence in Climategate Letter 1080257056 on March 22, 2004, in which Jones tells Santer She [Heike] sent me an email to review a paper two weeks ago. Said I didn’t have time until May. Innocuous enough on the surface. What makes this sentence interesting (and I noticed it because I […]
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Online here. One of the remarkable aspects of Climategate is that the only climate scientists presently speaking out against the Team are people who had previously been at least somewhat visible. Curry, Von Storch, Zorita, the Pielkes. All had taken their own line vis-a-vis the Team prior to Climategate and have spoken out since Climategate. […]
As noted previously, the Climategate letters and documents show Jones and the Team using the peer review process to prevent publication of adverse papers, while giving softball reviews to friends and associates in situations fraught with conflict of interest. Today I’ll report on the spectacle of Jones reviewing a submission by Mann et al.
