Too put an exclamation point on my above posts about the tree ring data and the hockey stick charts………….

curious huh?

Violence in Copenhagen today – Gotta love those “peaceful” left wingers!

The “Party of No” vs the “Party of Hate”.

The party of Capitalism vs the party of Socialism.

The party of “Teach a man to fish” vs the party of “Give a man a fish”.

The right needs a conservative version of ACORN to combat the Hate and Terrorism coming from the left.

Personally I think Joe is doing what the left actually wants him to do (which is help them cave to the corps).

Am I the only one that’s amazed at how Tiger managed to win 14 majors with all he had going on? I’m even more impressed with his golfing ability than I was before!

Most of the proxy data does not show anything unusual about the 20th century. But two data series have reappeared over and over that do have a hockey stick shape.

One is this flawed bristlecone data that the National Academy of Sciences panel said should NOT be used, so the studies using it can be set aside.

The second was a tree ring curve from the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia, compiled by UK scientist Keith Briffa.

Briffa published a paper in 1995 claiming that the Medieval period actually contained the coldest year of the millennium. But this claim depended on just three tree ring cores from the Polar Urals. Later F.H. Schweingruber produced a much larger sample from the Polar Urals: The medieval era was actually quite warm and the late 20th century was unexceptional. OPPS.

Briffa and Schweingruber never published those data, instead they dropped the Polar Urals altogether from their climate reconstruction papers.

In its place they used a new series that Briffa had calculated from tree ring data from the nearby Yamal Peninsula that had a pronounced Hockey Stick shape: relatively flat for 900 years then sharply rising in the 20th century.

Great!! Here you go. Heres proof that the hockey stick works and proves the global warming advocates are correct.

Sadly…. This Yamal series was a composite of an UNDISCLOSED number of individual tree cores. In order to check the steps involved in producing the composite, it would be necessary to have the individual tree ring measurements themselves.

But Briffa didn’t release his raw data.

Yet folks this report has powerful credance around the globe with no supporting data to be checked, rechecked and verified by those who want the truth and not an agenda.

We report. You decide.
