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.
