UN Climate Reports: They Lie

The American Thinker ^ | October 05, 2009 | Marc Sheppard

For years, claims that UN climate reports represent the consensus of the majority of international scientists have been mindlessly accepted and regurgitated by left-leaning policy makers and the media at large. But in the past week or so, it’s become more apparent than ever that those who’ve accused the international organization of politicizing science and manipulating data have been right all along.

This latest disclosure again concerns what has become the favorite propaganda propagation tool of climate activists -- the infamous “Hockey Stick Graph.” The familiar reconstruction, which deceitfully depicts last millennium’s global temperatures as flat prior to a dramatic upturn last century, has been displayed and touted ad nauseum as irrefutable proof of unprecedented and, therefore, anthropogenic, global warming (AGW).

So how do we get this info to the author? It is the presentation in pdf and ppt of the presentation given at Oshkosh by renowned aeronautical engineer and pioneer Burt Rutan totaly blowing away the AGW myth. The pages are full of his speaking notes and descriptions of the charts and analysis for all to understand. He totally obliterates the hockey stick thoery.

McIntyre analyzed the CRU archive Yamal data and proved that Briffa et al. had cherry-picked and manipulated data, intentionally omitting records not friendly to their position. In fact, when Briffa’s hand-selected figures were replaced by a broader dataset for the same Polar Ural region (much of which he had deliberately dropped), the Hockey-Stick suddenly disappeared, revealing no significant trend in the 20th century whatsoever!

In Steve’s new graph, below, the Red represents the original 12 cherry picked Yamal trees, while the Black incorporates the broader Yamal dataset.

It is actually much worse than just the ridiculously tiny set of 12 cherry picked trees. When you examine the data from those trees, you discover than almost all the bogus hockey stick signal is the result of data from a single tree! YAD061 (data highlighted in yellow) is one hell of a magical trillion dollar tree.

Well, well, well. Looks like Algore’s going to hell.

.....so, what did algore know, when did he know it and can it be proven??????

[mazda77]

Absolutely, he didn’t ever know Jack Schitz.

iven these natural shifts over the past 1000 years, it’s certainly not surprising that after a period of cooling, which followed a period of warming, we’d again enter a period of warming.

Tide's come in, tide's go out ... if the process was slower DEM's would be screaming about how the earth will be flooded... followed by how the ocean's were going away forever.

Ebb and flow - dems would milk it...

If anyone wants a layman’s review, I recommend they read this.

Thanx. That is an excellent review indeed. It was posted here on FR a while back. The links off the review are very informative, as well.
