flip the x axis on one or the other. maybe trim off the end of the CO2 record just to make things match up better (variation of 'hide the decline' perhaps), and Voila!......a perfectly serviceable eight or ten thousand year study on how CO2 has a negative correlation with temperature. CO2 up, temps down, 8000 years worth of data. make no mistake, for a reasonably sized funding grant you can argue any point you like.
Except Shakun's data makes use of an eight-fold greater increase in CO2 and a far more dramatic temperature change than you'd be working with over the period that you seem to think significant.
dont get me wrong...I am not saying that I believe that increasing CO2 causes lower temps. I also dont believe CO2 causes higher temps in any catastrophic, runaway fashion. the last 10,000 years is obviously equivical.
Shakuns data has many times the correlation that anything you could produce; his results are not the least equivocal.
cherrypicking, you say? well yes, so what? Shakun picked HIS proxies, they dont match the average for either temperature or the timing of events, but you have no problem with that.
I have no problem with it because the lag is a major point in his thesis and it is thoroughly discussed.
you have no problem with him cutting off the last 6 or 8 thousand years of CO2 numbers because they were inconvenient. no problem with Mann's hide the decline.. no problem with upsidedown proxies.
There is no upside down to the proxy to which McIntyre has brought that charge - its values are absolutes. And thinking you've got a case because Shakun doesn't speak about the present only shows that you truly have no case. Shakun made no comments about the present. He is not, therefore, obliged to present data from the present. Personally, I think you're a ******* dick for trying to say he is.
hahahahaha, you are a gullible fool who believes what he is told
Go **** yourself Ian. Then rinse, later, REPEAT.
until he is told to believe something different.
I have stated repeatedly that I follow mainstream science. If someone around here is being a fool, it's far more likely to be the one rejecting the view of better than 97% of the world's experts.
'Oceania was at war with Eastasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia'.
Babbling nonsense
Crick, you would have been right at home with Lysenko. hahahaha
If you think the situation re climate science today has any resemblance to Lysenko's biology in the USSR, you're a raving fool with a LOT less intellectual capability than I once thought you possessed.
You've seen what came out of Paris. You've lost. You've helped hold things up years longer than they should have been and you have seriously fucked with the lives of my children and theirs for many generation. I will never forgive any of your for that. Ignorance has a cost and in this instance it has been very high indeed.
