Just in case anyone out there has10 more minutes they are prepared to throw down the bottomless CRU Email hack hole, I found this YouTube video rather thourough and amusing:

Travesty, sure, but what travesty?

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:00:03 -0800

Apropos the recent spate of commenting about the hacked CRU emails, Kevin Trenberth has an article at The Daily Camera.

He makes this remark about his constantly mischaracterized "travesty" quote ("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."):

How to bash your head against one tree so hard you can no longer see the forest

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 08:03:06 -0800

WUWT's Willis Eschenbach has supposedly uncovered how Evil scientists have fabricated a warming trend in Darwin. Deltoid has the details on why those pesky adjustments were actually made. Of course those details were cleverly hidden, like Jone's decline, where no denialist would ever find it: in the peer reviewed literature!

This fake investigation is called cherry picking, digging through the batch to find the slightly off colored examples. But what happens if you look at the whole bowlful all at once, as did this Italian Medical bio-technologist? (Yes, yes, not a climatologist, not even a weatherman, but we are talking statistical analysis here, nothing more, nothing less). Real Climate has also made a similar study of raw station data. (Yes, yes, they are in cahoots with the whole climafia, but at least they provide the data this time!)

I wonder if it has ever occured to our supposedly skeptical visitors just why it is that all these fine blog scientists never do this same, simple, study for themselves. Look at all the data. I mean isn't that what they are constantly screaming about wanting? So why do we hear about one station here, one station there? After all, if the "adjustments" (always use scare quotes on that one) are to turn innocent non-warming stations like Darwin into alarmist propaganda, then surely the simplest extraction of a trend out of raw data would be the proof of that pudding!

Excuse the distasteful image of meat flavoured pudding, but I did want to end my rant with: where's the beef?

A few good reads on the CRU email hacking

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:00:04 -0800

I have had these tabs open in Firefox for quite a while now hoping to have the time to comment on them in a bit of detail but time is not on my side (sorry Mic).

So I would just like to list them briefly and recommend them for your review.

Yours truly on Minnesota Public Radio

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:42:58 -0800

For anyone near the computer on Sunday 6PM CST I will be on Minnesota Public Radio's Jet Streaming program for a very brief interview. After the fact I will link to an MP3 file.

he interview has already been taped and I think it went pretty well, but we will see how it was from the other end of the phone line!

MPR's audio streaming is here.

Guardian's editorial on Copenhagen

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:34:48 -0800

The Guardian has run a front page editorial on the Copenhagen summit along with 56 papers in 20 languages.

I read it at Real Climate who "takes no formal position" on its statements. I suppose it is to avoid the acusation of being political...

Well, I have rarely read an editorial I agree with more. And I say that with the utmost formality!

A visual approach to the climate debate

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:17:14 -0800

Here is a fabulous boil down approach to the climate debate.

The main site is called "Information is beautiful" and like Robert Rhode's Global Warming Art, it provides a compelling and beautiful graphical presentation of an otherwise rather dry and technical topic.

What do people think? Too simplistic? Too technical for a lay audience?
