That Damn Medieval Warm Period

Posted by Catmman on Friday, December 04, 2009 8:10:33 AM
or, "How Michael Mann's Hockey Stick Climate Graph Is A Complete Fraud".
 
Contrary to Warmist dogma, CO2 is not the driver of global temperature we are led to believe.  Also contrary to Wamist dogma, mankind and our technology is not the great poluter of Mother Gaia we are led to believe.  How do we kow this?  Becasue it was warmer 700-1000 years ago - the so-called Medieval Warm Period.
 
The famous 'Hockey-Stick' graph, produced by Warmist extrordinaire Michael Mann, is fraudulent because it refuses to acknowledge this wamer period.  It is also fraudulent because the data used to construct it was cherry picked to produe the desired result.
 
Following is a series of graphs showing how Michael Mann, his 'hockey-stick' graph and Warmists in general have been dead wrong:
 
World Map of temperatures and studies showing warming
 
Huang et al Boreholes graph of world temperatures
 
GRAPH: Briffa's reconstruction was affected by one freak tree.
 
 
Craig Loehle used 18 proxies to graph the last 2000 years.
 
Follow this link for a full breakdown and explanation of the above information. 
 
Notice how indeed the climate 'warms' after the last trough on the last graph.  That identified cooling perod was the "Little Ice-Age".  Who would think that the climate would warm after an ice age.  Huh.
 
Michael Mann is as much (if not more) of a fraud and huckster as anyone at the UEA CRU.

Climategate: Recap & Other Developments

Posted by Catmman on Friday, December 04, 2009 7:46:42 AM
If you haven't been following all the Climategate developments closely, or are confused as to what the whole thing is about, here is a good article to read to bring you up to speed.  It's a good general recap of events as well as what the fallout of this event should be.

In other Climategate developments, is James Hansen the Climategate 'hacker' (leaker)?  If Al Gore is the Messiah of the global warming religion, Hansen is it's Pope.

Michael Mann, of debunked 'Hockey Stick' fame, says that he doesn't know of any researchers who have "grafted" actual climate data to proxy climate data to create any climate/temperature charts.  Yet this is the very "trick" talked about in the CRU e-mails and the very "trick" Mann indeed used to create his original 'hockey stick' graph.  As Christopher Horner over at Pajamas Media say, "So — Mike’s defense is that no one had told him what he, himself, was up to?"

Sittin' on the dock of the blog, wastin' time...

Posted by Catmman on Thursday, December 03, 2009 11:20:19 AM
Haven't been putting up many posts the last couple of weeks.  Hey, it's December!  It's Christmas time!  Anyway, I'm getting ready for some global warming to fall here in San Antonio tomorrow, into a few books right now, trying to decide what to get the wife and kids for Christmas, trying to decide on Mac or PC or Mac and PC, gotta get the house ready for the in-laws coming into town for Christmas in a few weeks,  dogs and cats living together - MASS HYSTERIA!

I do read the blogs and news daily, so if anything catches my eye, I'll be sure to post on it.  Do stop by for any updates.

MERRY THREE-WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS!
