"Hide the Decline:" Email References to "Hiding" the Decline in Temperatures Might Have Been "Taken Out of Context," But How Do You Explain This?

In t the computer code for these models, the comments to the code acknowledge that changes have been made... in order to hide the decline.


; Plots 24 yearly maps of calibrated (PCR-infilled or not) MXD reconstructions
; of growing season temperatures. Uses corrected MXD but shouldnt usually
; plot past 1960 because these will be artificially adjusted to look closer to
; the real temperatures.
;

And:


; Computes regressions on full, high and low pass Esper et al. (2002) series,
; anomalies against full NH temperatures and other series.
; CALIBRATES IT AGAINST THE LAND-ONLY TEMPERATURES NORTH OF 20 N
;
; Specify period over which to compute the regressions (stop in 1960 to avoid
; the decline
;

As George Takei says: "Oh my."

Soooo... we have emails stating that CRU "scientists" are using a "trick" to "hide the decline" in temperatures. The "decline" here refers to a drop in temperates at the end of their simulations, which they don't want in on their hockey-stick graphs, because they always want them to end with the temperature curve pointing upwards -- asymptotically is best.

They have learned the "trick" (which I don't get myself) of adding in a specific series of data -- the real temperature record, but only through 1960 -- to a model based entirely on proxy temperature readings (tree rings and ice cores and so on) and adjusted real-world temperature readings. This data shouldn't be added in -- they've already got their adjusted (i.e., also kinda faked) temperature readings in there. They are adding this one piece of data again, this time in raw form, because it changes how the graph looks at the end, and gives them that sharply-rising flare at the chart's end.

Why not use all real temperature data, through the present day?

Because that doesn't result in the shape of the graph they want.

Why add real temperature data through 1960 in when you've already included "adjusted" versions of that data?

Because if you don't, you don't get the shape of the graph you want.

Why do they want a particular shape of graph? Because these charts aren't being used for science; they're being used for political propaganda. People understand what a sharply-rising line means.

Why are scientists choosing which data to add and not add according to what gives them the results they want?

Because they're not scientists. They are political advocates with some math and science degrees.

This data wasn't put in there because they decided for some odd reason that the real, raw temperature readings (but only through 1960!) should be re-added to the data set. It was put in there because someone did it one time and saw that it would give him the shape of the graph he wanted. And now they're all doing it, though no one is quite able to explain why the hell they are.

Because the real reason is "It gives us the prop we want." There is no other reason.

Aren't scientists supposed to build from observation to conclusion, rather than conclusion to observations? They are cherry-picking which data are supposed significant according to which sets result in the conclusions they've already decided.

20 That's a big point of mine: They aren't using temperature data, they're using temperature spin.

When you step away from actual collected data, you've damn well got to justify any alterations you make, and they not only won't justify it, they won't tell you what adjustments there were.

It's less science than push polling.

Posted by: nickless at November 23, 2009 05:07 PM (MMC8r)

21 Ace, this "hide the decline" bit actually sounds worse than it is. The problem is that the dataset that they were using is a temperature reconstruction based on proxy data. After they apply their smoothing techniques, it turns downward at the end, diverging from the actual measured temperatures. Now, whether or not there are flaws in the surface temperature measurements (I think there is a pretty clear case that there are, and the leaked emails seem to hint that they realize this too), I think they can quite easily explain that they chose to use ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS rather than reconstructions from tree rings or whatever and we lose this argument without ever getting to the real problems.

We need to wisely pick our fights on this. It seems to me that the really damaging stuff is their collusion to hide data, suppress alternative views, tweak data (0.15 to reduce the ocean blip) and destroy emails to avoid FOI requests.

31 @21 That's a big point of mine: They aren't using temperature data, they're using temperature spin.

They have to adjust the data though. Stations use differing data collection techniques, and some experience urban warming etc.... they have to adjust it to get some numbers that are compatible. The problem is that this adds an extra layer of abstraction where there is room to introduce... er, errors. And, my understanding is that they aren't completely upfront about which stations are included, excluded, adjusted, etc., to produce their final datasets, which I think is one of the things McIntyre has been on them about.

Feel free to correct me if I totally misrepresented something.

No, this is not about science; this is about self-hatred of a small number of humans writ large. Like the MSNBC racism story preceding, nearly every leftist position proceeds like this:
1) I hate myself for reason X
2) I'm better than everyone else
3) Therefore, everyone else must be much worse with regards to X than I am
4) I must stop everyone else from doing/thinking/whatever X, even if it means I have to do more of it to make that happen.
Changing the facts of global warming does not change the fact that the global warming cultist hates himself. Therefore, his behavior will change not even a little bit.
On the other hand, it is teabaggingly delicious to be vindicated in my long-held belief that there is no evidence for AGW. You too, I presume.

Nope. The divergence is vitally important a) because it shows the proxies are tracking something other than temperature (i.e. if it's wrong now, it could easily have been wrong in the past), and b) even the Hockey Team claims that it never splices real temperature data onto proxy reconstructions.

43 I'm looking for the Left to suddenly embrace the British meanings of words.

For example, take the word "Fix" . There's "fix" in the sense of "to correct or repair" and then there's "fix" in the sense of "hold in one place, to make immovable"

The Downing Street memo provides an example:

The memo had a section that MI6 Head Richard Dearlove that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed [by the U.S.] around the policy" of removing Saddam Hussein
from power, which was taken by the Lefty types to show that US intelligence on Iraq prior
to the war was deliberately falsified, rather than simply mistaken.

Fixing facts around something around a policy is not the same thing as falsifying. You're simply making those pieces axiomatic. They're a given. They're fixed.

Now, nearly five years after this "fixing" of facts came out, the Left will, I'd bet, discover that the Brits - especially the Climate Guy Science Brits - use language differently than us dumb Amurkins.

Posted by: Jean at November 23, 2009 05:15 PM (6Njk9)

45 DaveS:

Let me tell you something. When you massage data an awful lot, as pollsters must do (and I don't even mean trying to skew a poll -- I mean adjusting for demographic groups) it's a game of whack a mole. One adjustment tends to create a new problem somewhere else. So you adjust that. Which creates a new problems.

Etc.

The reason for the "divergence" is that they are massaging data so much -- for example, to elminate the Medieval Warm Period. Which they admit in emails -- they are in fact seeking to do.

So an adjustment there causes a problem somewhere else, and fixing that problem causes another one... until... well, they get to the end and now their charts are so massaged they are radically diverging from real temperature records.

So they add in raw temperatures -- through 1960 only! - a data series that has no business being in there (and if it is -- why only through 1960) because doing that gives them the upward slant at graph's end they want.

You know what, DaveS? If their models cannot accurately model CURRENT temperatures, and keep showing a decline where raw termperatures seem to indicate a modest increase, maybe they should work on fixing their models themselves, rather than adding extraneous data sets into them to fix all the problems caused by their constant massaging.

50 So to review.

There has been no warming in 10 years.

The last two years show cooling.

The 90s were not the warmest decade in recent history - that would be the 30s.

The earth was warmer in the medieval ages with no apparent sign of an apocalypse, and only recently recovered from the Little Ice Age.

Global Warming researchers spend much of their time manipulating data to make it fit the graphs they want, trying to censor researchers that disagree with them, and creatively rejecting requests to see their data.

Oh, and we are about to destroy the economy because global warming is beyond question and going to kill us all.

51 "hide the decline" does not sound worse than it is. The fact is, these supposed "Models" depart radically from observed temperatures in the past few decades (precisely the ones that are supposedly key evidence).

So to get the models to accord with the actual record, they are forced to add goofy shit into them.

Like... um, well, like raw temperature data, when the adjusted data is already in the model, and only, for some bizarre reason, through 1960.

That's what I'm saying. They aren't taking thermometer readings, they're taking extrapolations and adjustments of thermometer readings, interpolations, wild ass guesses, and eliminating readings they think are 'off' for some reason. That, alone, is a wide enough window for bias or deception.

Add to that the need for results to 'conform' and a system that is pretty much without the oversight that peer review would provide, and anything that comes out of that process is not worth trusting.

53 DaveS,
I have seen these maneuvers aplenty and until demonstrated otherwise, I believe these criminals simply do the following:
They plug their data into their favorite statistical software program and massage things until they get what they want. We have already seen how the hocky stick is a complete fraud manufactured from an N of ten carefully selected tree rings.
To refute these very damaging revelations, the criminals would have to open their data sets for review. They have been unwilling to do so to this point, with some laughably suggesting that the dog ate their homework and the data is "lost."
Enough. Would anyone here fly on an airplane orlive next to a nuclear reactor contructed with similar methods? Of course not.

Why add the raw data at all? They are already adding an "adjusted" series of data based on the raw data.

My understanding is that the data up to 1960 and 1981 are different data sets, and smoothing adds an artificial decline in temperatures. They are padding the end with numbers to allow them to get smoothed trends on the datasets... it seems reasonable to use actual temperature data to do that. Any "actual temperature data" is adjusted... unadjusted data would be useless.

The methodology for those adjustments could significantly impact the surface record and should be under intense scrutiny.

In what way was research conducted a decade ago that "cherrypicked" data? And in what way did the presentation of these data fatally controvert "AGW"?

There was no cherrypicking. The data were presented in such a way to defend the discussion of test results.

In no way do the data even remotely offer knuckleheads their own tendentious uses to declaim AGW.

65 Bear in mind: The modern era is the ONLY era where we can compare these models to ACTUAL OBSERVED TEMPERATURES.

They don't care much if their records show it was very cold in, oh, say, 900 AD. Who the fuck can check that? Who knows?

What they DO care about is when their models claim that in the only era in which true readings are availble, the temperatures are several degrees away from what we know them to be.

That... sorta looks bad. Makes you doubt the entire model, eh, when the one period you can check the model against observed results shows the model to be...um, utterly wrong.

So they are attempting to "hide" that. They don't want it noted that their models -- without this deus ex machina intervention -- are BADLY WRONG in the one era we can check them against with full confidence.

So they... start adding in essentially RANDOM data, choosing whichever winds up hiding the fact they're going wrong in the modern era. They find one set of data -- raw temperature through 1960 -- and add that in.

The decline is hidden. THe model now "looks" -- but only LOOKS -- okay.

But it only looks that way because they added in superflous, shouldn't-be-in-there data that just happened to manipulate other stuff enough to get the model to match reality (sort of -- close enough for government work, at least).

No. Splicing of real data onto a proxy is a no-no. Even the Hockey Stick Team agreed (publically) it shouldn't do that.

It certainly shouldn't do it to hide an inconvenient divergence which shows their proxies are crap.

70 @46 ace: The reason for the "divergence" is that they are massaging data so much
-- for example, to elminate the Medieval Warm Period. Which they admit
in emails -- they are in fact seeking to do.

I think they are two entirely different questions. In this case, the divergence is because the dataset runs out and their smoothing algorithm causes a decline when there are no trailing values... again, that's my understanding.

But you're right, they clearly are trying to minimize the MWP, and deemphasize the differences in "ocean blips" and "land blips" and tweaking variables to make the charts look the way they want them to look. That's why I was suggesting it might be better to focus on those specific instances, rather than the "decline"--I just think they can make a compelling argument to defuse that one at least partially, and media cycles on this will be precious if they exist at all.

72 The main problem here is that there is no way to be sure what the fucking temperature was before modern gauges were produced. So they have to use tree ring and ice core "proxies" that you can jack around until you get the results you want. Therefore they are basing a .7 deg rise above a historical SWAGed number and then trying to tell us to give up our productivity and money on the assumption that there SWAG is right. As we all know AGW is just a power grab built on garbage.

78 If you are deliberately telling your model to put very little weight on some proxies, and much more weight on others -- all to "eliminate" the Medieval Warm Period -- you are going to have problems if it should happen to turn out that the present day's proxies are like the MWP's. In other words, you dialed the "tweaks" on the MWP to show "cool." When the present day's proxies are similar, they will also become "cool," and you don't want that -- you want the MWP cooler than the proxies really show it to be, and the modern era warmer.

So you gotta hide that decline.

Not a falsifiable prediction, like how many amperes does it take to generate a voltage of one volt across a resistance of one ohm. Your electrical law can be tested directly. Not this.

Climatology like astronomy is an observational science, and as such cannot be taken as concretely as other sciences. A century ago the best observers and theoreticians argued about whether distant nebulae were in our own galaxy or were galaxies themselves. Until observations proved otherwise one could believe either... the Great Debate between Shapley and Hubble was a debate. Just that. Eventually better observation changed people's minds. But what if entire political arrangements had been based on the obsolete view? Unlikely with astronomy, but with climatology that is what many demand. Already many warming models have proved incorrect... so why demand the entire planet be subject to a new Panopticon of rules and regulations when these models can neither be falsified easily nor have proven correct so far?

This is just an excuse for warmed-over Marxism in a coat of biodegradable green paint.

As an aside, anyone who takes models of complex systems as "proof" of anything deserves exactly the hell that they get. How many econometric models predicted the credit crisis? And econometric models have better brains, more money and a simpler system to model.
These global warming frauds all need to be brought up on charges. They have carried out a true "crime against humanity" in the most literal sense.
As to the argument about data manipulation (smoothing, etc.) any "science" that picks and chooses between data sets, based on some arbitrary context, is totally worthless if not outright destructive. We had the same sort of silliness with valuations of companies, where the geniuses have various models for valuation and pick and choose among them to get the highest valuation possible, but throwing out valuation models that yield ridiculous valuations. There is no standard process for these determinations and they are rendered useless as such.

The good news/bad news is that the Consensus has been made up of true enough believers in Warming Forever that they didn't think to poison the temp data in the right way to hide cooling. So now they have a problem.

Actually, I would argue that their models are falsifiable. They presented a series of projections that showed varying warming trends for the foreseeable future. None showed the cooling trend we are in now.
So, their models have been falsified. I understand on the policy front why this isn't the end of the story, but in real SCIENCE it would be. Your model failed to predict the observed behavior therefore your theory is, at best, incomplete. Come back when you can accurately forecast average temperatures in 10 years, and we will test your analysis again.

But when he ran if for the future and waited, mostly wrong. Back to the program with another month of data, more fudges, new predictions and again, failure.

This is a scam that investment-con-artists use. They claim they have a formula that "predicts" -- retroactively - all market moves in the past 100 years.

Um, well of course you do. You know what the market did. It is not hard to write a program which emphasizes certain variables, ignores others, etc., to "predict" what is already known.

In fact, I'm pretty sure this is all automated. Feed in variables and stuff into a program, and it will supply you with an algorithm to "predict" it all.

Doesn't mean it actually predicts into the future. it only "predicts" what already happened, becasue the algorithm was created to do that and only that.

156 Aren't scientists supposed to build from observation to conclusion,
rather than conclusion to observations? They are cherry-picking which
data are supposed significant according to which sets result in the
conclusions they've already decided.

I think that is right on.

I remember from high school chem when some kids would change the data they received to fit pre-conceived notions about what the results should be. It looks like they grew up to become AGW scientists. Back then, it was just fudging data so that the h20 concentration in tomatoes was 80% and not the more-difficult-to-believe 95%.

We all do it to some degree; it's like a "fact check" to see if it fits with broader theory. It sometimes leads to very erroneous conclusions. Like geocentric theory, when the planets supposedly followed crazy patterns in order to fit with the pre-conceived notion of an earth-centered solar system.

So unless DaveS is correct about a glitch in the graphing (which I've seen before due to a computer fitting the curve to a certain pattern it chooses)... at best, they are doing bad science in order to "make their results look better to the teacher". Worst, they are playing an active role in a global scam.

158 I'll bet there are some really entertaining meetings going on at the editorial offices of Scientific American right now! They have at least one, and usually several,politically correct commentaries in every issue, but I'll bet the commentary on this one is "muted".
If you want to see a good institution gone bad, SciAm is a perfect example.Near the end ofthe last Presidential campaign, theyfeatured an analysis by someonethat "proved" that during such and such time period, the percentage of non-positive media articles on Obama was higher than those on McCain, thereby proving that the media was not biased in the election.
If you didn't pay attention to the time period cited, that sounded impressive. But if you checked like I did, you found that the time period was from months earlier, before the nominees were picked, when the media was pulling for McCain and Hillary! Theyused it as ifwas a head-to-head McCain coverage vs. Obama coverage comparison, but it was actually the coverage of McCain vs. any conservative, compared to the coverage of Hillary! vs Obama, when she was still "inevitable"!
They cannot be trusted on any subject that is even slightly politically sensitive, IMHO, and since they are loading up the mag with more and more of that, it is rapidly evolving into a psuedo-science propaganda rag. They love to talk about anyone else's "psuedo-science" by the way, their favorite of course being Christian fundies, by they are in fact bending sciencetotheir religious beliefsevery bit as much.

185 Ace, the auumption you are making for rhetorical effect is that these 'scientists' are in fact worried at all about the scientific method. They sold their soul back around 1974 to whatever alarmist cult of the day was the soup du jour in moonbat ville so long as the bats were slinging grants and block funding to their alma mater. Global famine, warming, cooling, warming, killer bees, meteor strikes, peak oil, peak water all of these doom cults have one thing in common there is nothing positive ever put on the balance sheet when the calculus is ran, and all of the issues coincidentally require the exact same solution-the finishing off of the COMIntern's work from circa '36-'50 in the form of strangling th4e American consumer spirit and economic growth.....

there is not a single hysteria that does not have as its 'solution' spend a lot of federal money, squash a business, trust in your bueracratic overlords and be happy.
The forgotten part of Ike's farewell was the warning about:
"In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present

and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientifictechnological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system -- ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society. "
Ike had an instinctive grasp of the disparate and competing forces tugging at our collective freedom because he ran a herd of cats through the ETO in ww2.....
Hippies love the phrase 'military-industrial complex" because their attention span is too short to realize he made a damning indictment of their games in academia and the science academy.

Meh. SciAm. I had to quit reading that crap ten years ago. Way, way PC.

136 >>>True story, I had a boss years ago who was convinced that he could write a program to predict the markets to the extent that he could trade index option futures... But when he ran if for the future and waited, mostly wrong. Back to the program with another month of data, more fudges, new predictions and again, failure.
...
This is a scam that investment-con-artists use. They claim they have a formula that "predicts" -- retroactively - all market moves in the past 100 years.

You know what the market did. It is not hard to write a program which emphasizes certain variables, ignores others, etc., to "predict" what is already known.
...
Doesn't mean it actually predicts into the future. it only "predicts" what already happened, becasue the algorithm was created to do that and only that.

Exactly. At least an observational science like astronomy can point to a "ladder of distances" to establish scale in the universe, and that ladder does indeed adjust as new knowledge arises... presumably most astronomers would not swear that the current state of knowledge is set immutably. Far from it. Only ten or fifteen years ago, the state of astronomical knowledge about the universe entirely missed dark energy, which according to contemporary cosmology makes up about two thirds of the entire mass-energy of the universe. Two thirds. Completely unimagined less than a generation ago. And the recently discovered acceleration of the universe's expansion entirely inverts the standard, rationally accepted, "consensus" point of view that prevailed back in the 1980s, that the universe would likely slow expansion, and contract again to a Big Crunch.

Think of that. Just a couple of new observations made in the last decade or two have utterly upended the "consensus" view of the fate of the universe from Big Crunch to Big Rip or endless expansion.

Back to the subject at hand... climate. These "lientists" have the nerve to demand we restructure the global economy and live under dictatorial rule regarding all human activity that even so much as produces a whiff of fucking carbon dioxide, when the simplest new observations could prove them entirely wrong? And their predictions concern a system extremely nonlinear, with variables orders of magnitude larger in number than in something like astronomy? And far more subject to uncertainties and misinterpretation?

How anyone could have fallen for this crap, even ten years ago, is astonishing. The deliberate deceit revealed in these memos and computer code is just icing on the cake.

Again, I want to be clear... I think they are doing both. My difference on this is simply a matter of which battles are think are more likely to be winners in a media tit-for-tat on the matter. From the get go, focus has been on the "trick" to "hide the decline", allowing the perpetrators to provide a somewhat reasonable sounding explanation (which most people won't understand or care to understand at all), and allowing them to avoid any discussion whatsoever of the fact that they were trying to have editors fired, making up adjustments to make the charts look right in their mind, deleting emails, etc.

215 Honestly who cares about the hacked e-mails? There is a larger issue that needs to be debated regarding "climate change".
Anyone that believes that a possibletemperature increase of3/4 of a degree50years from now represents an end timesdisasterscenario is just shit nuts. Furthermore, anyone whoclaims that this potentially mild and gradual increase should justifydraconian population controls, economy killing emissions reductions,and the commitment of trillions of dollarsto "combat" is too stupid to even debate.

219 If only the decline in warming were true

Oh, dear. You really must see how the GISS data is "produced." It certainly isn't by measurement:
http://tinyurl.com/yamntu9

AGW has always been a joke. As many here have pointed out, the models are all junk because they can't take historical climate data and "predict" known data from following years (eg, loading in measurements from the 1940s and getting the correct results for 1960s).

And of course there is the fact that their fundamental underlying hypothesis is provably wrong. They say small changes in the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere cause by human activities result in huge, global weather effects. However, ice core data has shown the CO2 level in the atmosphere in the past to have been 6 to 20 times higher than now (the increase sometimes taking place in as little as 30 years), without any of their doomsday scenarios occurring. No further argument against AGW is necessary.

Posted by: Flubber at November 23, 2009 07:58 PM (VL5if)

220 Since 1998 the global temperature has reduced, although some say its still getting warmer and some claim it's "plateaued" so it is exactly the same as it was in 1998. Sorry guys. Cooler = cooler, no matter how much you stamp your foot and grit your teeth.

And that data which shows the oceans (and the atmosphere) are cooler than the land? That sort of proves the claim that all the temperature stations are near roads and in cities, thus giving false reads.


Whatever warming there was (and it strongly appears that it was much less then the warmies claimed it was), it ended and wasn't dangerous to begin with. Your house of cards is falling to pieces.


I wouldn't be at all surprised to find this happening with other long held, dearly loved, and "consensus" theories in the near future.

controvert "AGW"?There was no cherrypicking. The data were presented in such a way to defend the discussion of test results.

228 They know what it is at Climate Audit. And what I gathered from there was that these reconstructions are built the same way -- all tree-ring guesswork and other proxies from whenever to 1880 or so. Then a mix of tree-ring guesses, other proxies,and surface measurements from then until 1960. And after 1960 no trees to be found, because the trees all show declining temperatures while the other records show warming.
Without the trees, the MWP is still present and the current warming is no big deal. The trees are absolutely vital to their entire scheme**. But they know that the trees do not show the recent warming well. So they include the bit that hides MWP, and don't include the bit that indicates they don't have a 100% grasp of what is actually going on with the tree rings.
Briffa (he's in the emails) was praised (by the other guys in the emails) for his Yamal calculations -- because they are the only modern tree series to show the current warming. But even that required a LOT of fudging -- take away ONE TREE and the whole thing falls apart. Yamal in the last part of the 20th Cent is pretty much only based on fewer trees than would make up one side of a football play, so this is the same as saying the whole result depends on 10% of the sample. That's indicative of a weighting problem. Another indication the Yamal series is crap is that it apparently doesn't match the local temperature records. This is where the AGW's true pseudoscientific roots are clearly exposed -- look up the concept of tele-connection and tell me that isn't a load of crap along the lines of phrenology and Chariot of the Gods bullshit. Yamal's trees are apparently attuned via tele-connection to the rest of the world's trees more than they are to their own local conditions.
Polar Urals, which is a much better sampling with many more trees, does not show either a hockey stick or a complete disconnect from local conditions. Oddly enough, same guys were involved I think.But no hockey stick means no interest in pursuing the data.
Go to Climate Audit, they get into mind-numbing detail over there on all of this stuff.

**There is one other thing that shows a hockey stick with no MWP -- lake sediments from Finland. However, the only way this works is if you TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN (!!!!!) and ignore the authors' warning that the last half of the 20th century is bogus due to construction and other human activity that mucked with the sediment. While one of the release emails indicates the 'team' was aware of this error, there has been absolutely no correction or retraction with regards to this mistake.

239 Entropy, after giving this some thought, if we knew that a cooling trend was in the works, agriculturists and other plant scientists would be able to plan and develop food crops that will grow in a cool climate. We could prepare for colder winters.

240 , if we knew that a cooling trend was in the works, agriculturists and other plant scientists would be able to plan and develop food crops that will grow in a cool climate.
They do that anyway.
They are not, in anticipation of the coming Great Warmening, all sitting on their asses and playing Freecell, I hope.
But fact is, we allready have the technology to produce all the food we need and then some as it is. Cold or warm. The US is a majorexporter of food, and we could grow a LOT more. We pay farmers as it is NOT to grow stuff to keep the prices artificially high and avoid food gluts.
We could certainly beef up our energy production in anticipation of greater heating requirements. But we already know we need to do that, and won't. And we can always do it 2 minutes too late and suffer only mildly, all things considered.
There's not much to prepare for, really. I live in Chicago. You'll Florida wusses will learn to live with it.

Posted by: California Red at November 24, 2009 12:59 AM (ElDsu)

244 DaveS, I disagree with you about where we should place our efforts on this.

We should attack this AGW hoax from all angles. None of this work is any good at all. Every model should be scrapped. All the data, the raw direct data and the raw proxy data should be re-examined and where possible remeasured.

None of it should be shoved into modeling software. Why?

Because you don't need to do that and it only leads to trouble. The data alone can show the connection, whatever it may be, between CO2 levels and temperature levels. Do we need to use models to show how in North America the temperature is affected by the calendar?

I do not rail against statistics in Science. It is a valid and powerful tool. I've used it many times. But few things in Science are equally ripe for abuse.

The best thing to do is plot the raw data, with the error bars included, and then let the Scientists scream at each other for 20 years. By then Al Gore and most hippies will be dead.

A self-cleaning oven.

The guy who thinks that it's "millions of degrees" at the Earth's core? I don't think Gore is smart enough to light an LED bulb with his IQ. He is the epitome of the useful idiot. He should still go to jail, anyway, because he knows that he doesn't know anything. Gore's only talent is that he is totally impervious to embarrassment and humiliation - which seems to be the great strength of many on the left.
The big question is what the retards on the SCOTUS who ruled that global warming was real, anthropogenic, and CO2-based (among other idiocies) should be subject to. Clearly, they are too dumb to be trusted with any decision of import - not that that's news ...

I've been casually following this, and the changes are starting to show up in even state-run museums. The "ice-free corridor" is disappearing (because it never existed), and there are even the occasional, grudging, references to pre-Clovis populations.

248 I agree with the post. Ingenuous explanations like padding a polynomial smoothing function are inadequate to explain the email narrative.
The fact is the data end of many tree-ring series ended in 1980, padding would have carried forward from that point, to 2020, the tail discarded. Anyway, the tail direction can be selected by choice of polynomial.
Here the last 20 years of the data are replaced. The PCM construct is filled not with data but 'temperature measurements' of unknown provenance.

249 All this interest in the hoax-proving e-mails, yet no one will look at the "instrumental" temperature record compiled by Phil Jones .... WHY?
Why will no one even LOOK at it.
I believe the HADCRUt database is still available online. Just go look at the data for January 1860 in the HADCRUt database. See what it is and compare it to what it claims to be, i.e. a "Global" "Average" temperature. Just go look for God's sake. Somebody; anybody.

250 Yeah anthropology is about as sketchy a science as sociology. The people involved have their agendas.

Here's the thing though: I think many branches of science are working in this sort of pattern.


Look, however you happen to believe about the theory of evolution, consider this: do you think if data showed that evolution didn't work or wasn't possible, that it was in error, how many scientists would admit it? How many would massage the data and change the wording and adjust the theory until that square block fit through the round hole?
