  • So why isnt Al Gore speaking out on this Climategate issue?

  • Why is the media ignoring Climategate for the most part?Over 10 million hits on google?

    concur.I phoned CBC and asked them why they are not carrying it seeing as the number of hits on Google is over 10 million. The amn I talked to said

    1) it isnt a big story

    2) the science is already done on this.

    CBC had a small cover on Iit last nite , Dec 2 but again just had some guy saying "nothing to worry about"

    Situation normal.

    My question is who really controls the media anyway. I mean this is being so ignored all over north america by the media, that it is obvious there is some manipulation involved.

    However on the other hand, I know exactly what time Tiger Woods crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant.

    WHO CARES!!!!

  • re Climate gate: how is the damning statement in this email"taken out of context"?

    Subject: This and that

    Date: Tue Jul 5 15:51:55 2005

    John,

    There has been some email traffic in the last few days to a week - quite

    a bit really, only a small part about MSU. The main part has been one of

    your House subcommittees wanting Mike Mann and others and IPCC

    to respond on how they produced their reconstructions and how IPCC

    produced their report.

    In case you want to look at this see later in the email !

    Also this load of rubbish !

    This is from an Australian at BMRC (not Neville Nicholls). It began from the attached

    article. What an idiot. The scientific community would come down on me in no

    uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only

    7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant.

    The Australian also alerted me to this blogging ! I think this is the term ! Luckily

    I don't live in Australia.

    Wrong data and practices

    From: Tom Wigley, Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:36:15 -0700

    We probably need to say more about this. Land warming since 1980 has been twice the ocean warming — and skeptics might claim that this proves that urban warming is real and important.

    From: Kevin Trenberth, before Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:01:24 -0600

    The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.

    From: Michael Mann Date: 27/10/2009, 16:54

    Perhaps we'll do a simple update to the Yamal post, e.g. linking Keith/s new page--Gavin t? As to the issues of robustness, particularly w.r.t. inclusion of the Yamal series, we actually emphasized that (including the Osborn and Briffa '06 sensitivity test) in our original post! As we all know, this isn't about truth at all, its about plausibly deniable accusations.

    From: Darrell Kaufman, Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2009 08:44:19 -0700

    Regarding the "upside down man", as Nick's plot shows, when flipped, the Korttajarvi series has little impact on the overall reconstructions. Also, the series was not included in the calibration. Nonetheless, it's unfortunate that I flipped the Korttajarvi data. We used the density data as the temperature proxy, as recommended to me by Antii Ojala (co-author of the original work). It's weakly inversely related to organic matter content. I should have used the inverse of density as the temperature proxy. I probably got confused by the fact that the 20th century shows very high density values and I inadvertently equated that directly with temperature.

    I tried hard to balance the needs of the science and the IPCC , which were not always the same. I worried that you might think I gave the impression of not supporting you well enough while trying to report on the issues and uncertainties . Much had to be removed and I was particularly unhappy that I could not get the statement into the SPM regarding the AR4 reinforcement of the results and conclusions of the TAR. I tried my best but we were basically railroaded by Susan.

    I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.

    From: Tom Wigley, Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:25:38 -0600

    So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC, then this would be significant for the global mean – but we’d still have to explain the land blip. I’ve chosen 0.15 here deliberately. This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these).

    I really wish I could be more positive about the Kyrgyzstan material, but I swear I pulled every trick out of my sleeve trying to milk something out of that. (...) I don't think it'd be productive to try and juggle the chronology statistics any more than I already have - they just are what they are (that does sound Graybillian.

    From: Keith Briffa, Date: Wed Sep 22 16:19:06 1999

    I know there is pressure to present a nice tidy story as regards 'apparent unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data' but in reality the situation is not quite so simple. We don't have a lot of proxies that come right up to date and those that do (at least a significant number of tree proxies ) some unexpected changes in response that do not match the recent warming.

    From: ????

    Another serious issue to be considered relates to the fact that the PC1 time series in the Mann et al. analysis was adjusted to reduce the positive slope in the last 150 years (on the assumption - following an earlier paper by Lamarche et al. - that this incressing growth was evidence of carbon dioxide fertilization) , by differencing the data from another record produced by other workers in northern Alaska and Canada (which incidentally was standardised in a totally different way). This last adjustment obviously will have a la
