If you could factually dispute what was reported in NR, you would.Mann-made Warming Confirmed - By Chris Horner - Planet Gore - National Review Online
Steve McIntyre, a Canadian mathematician in Toronto, suspects tree rings arent telling a valid story with that giant uptick at the right side of the graph, implicating the 20th century as the hottest period in 1000 years, which alarmists latch onto as proof of AGW. The graph is dubbed the Hockey Stick and becomes famous worldwide. Al Gore uses it in his movie An Inconvenient Truth in the famous elevator scene.Note to AGW cultists:
2: Steve attempts to replicate Michael Manns tree ring work in the paper MBH98, but is stymied by lack of data archiving. He sends dozens of letters over the years trying to get access to data but access is denied. McIntyre and Ross McKitrick, of the University of Guelph publish a paper in 2004 criticizing the work. A new website is formed in 2004 called Real Climate, by the people who put together the tree ring data and they denounce the scientific criticism:
RealClimate: False Claims by McIntyre and McKitrick regarding the Mann et al. (1998) reconstruction
3: Years go by.McIntyre is still stymied trying to get access to the original source data so that he can replicate the Mann 1998 conclusion. In 2008 Mann publishes another paper in bolstering his tree ring claim due to all of the controversy surrounding it. A Mann co-author and source of tree ring data (Professor Keith Briffa of the Hadley UK Climate Research Unit) used one of the tree ring data series (Yamal in Russia) in a paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 2008, which has a strict data archiving policy. Thanks to that policy, Steve McIntyre fought and won access to that data just last week.
4: Having the Yamal data in complete form, McIntyre replicates it, and discovers that one of Manns co-authors, Briffa, had cherry picked 10 tree data sets out of a much larger set of trees sampled in Yamal.
5: When all of the tree ring data from Yamal is plotted, the famous hockey stick disappears. Not only does it disappear, but goes negative. The conclusion is inescapable. The tree ring data was hand-picked to get the desired result.
If you have to lie to make your point, it ain't science. It's bullshit.
So what does that say about you using the lies of the hyperpartisan national review fishwrap to support delusional confusions?
But you can't, so you choose instead to fling poo.
