And also, credit to you because I've seen you take on new information many times in the past, and change your mind, even on things you were "invested" in. I knew it would be worth the effort.

[ETA: I liked that you apologized. I didn't like the, "No, I didn't call you juvenile, I called you juvenal!" ending, which is where the "Just stop" came from. Because trying to get out of trouble with strained parsings is so ... okay, I'll stop too. ]
I was just playing on one of your posts back when where you did the "wrrrr wrrt wr wwww ... not right!" thing, using your own words as an homage, or an olive branch if you're reading it in Christian idiom.
We're cool preacher ... but I still have to say some things you're not going to like. Trust me that I've got good intentions. I'm not trying to convince you that you are wrong, but that these attacks on scientists are wrong. Not because I want to win, but because the truth is these attacks have a history, and that history is unpleasant, enough so that it's worthwhile to push back at it.Last edited by Juvenal; 08-31-2019, 11:44 AM.

You'd think if he had the evidence he'd have produced it. Watts up with that?
His work wasn't specifically about whether the temperatures recently had increased, but on creating a suitable temperature proxy for the temperatures during the medieval ages, where his conclusion was that the temperatures had remained virtually flat. Hence the result of the hockey stick. This was published back in 1999. And was controversial back then.
Here is an image of the original reconstruction. (1999)
There were other reconstructions, done independently by other teams, often with other data sources involved.
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (Wahl 2007)
Columbia University using borehole data and the HAdCrut Surface Temperature measurements (Huang 2000)
And several others. So the work was quite reproducible. I don't see much discussions of these independent replications in climate skeptical outlets though, mostly they focus on "The Hockey Stick", as if there was only ever one, and that reproduction has somehow been made magically impossible.
But since it was Dr. Michael E. Mannings work that ended up in the 2001 IPCC Report, then he became a ripe political target, especially after the emails were leaked. I'm not a politician. I don't like discussing politics, and whether it is, or isn't, a good idea to sue people who actively accuse you of deliberate fraud.
This probably doesn't answer your question about his work. What data can't he release? I gotta say I'm confused as well, most of the data is publically accessible in raw form. Are they talking about specific computer programs and scripts written to crunch the data? I haven't been able to get a clear answer on that. I do know that most of the data the CRU used was publically available.
But I'm mostly just focused on the question of whether or not human-caused climate change is happening.

You seem to be working overtime with the ad hom handwaving here.
At any rate, there was still a lot of stuff to haggle over back when he published it. Back in 1999, it would have been safe to say that the "Hockey Stick" was controversial. The idea of a medieval warm period, as being a global phenomenon, rather than something confined to Northern-Europe was more widely accepted. Dr. Michael E. Mann's research really pushed for collecting temperature proxies from across the globe to avoid local bias like that.
Since then, as I've shown in the post, others have verified his results using other data sets, and it appears that the medieval warming period was just a local phenomenon.
As for Tim Ball's temperature graph, he cherry-picks a lot. He exclusively uses temperature proxies that show the medieval warming period and ignores all the rest. I'll leave it up to you to judge, whether that's sound science.Last edited by Leonhard; 09-02-2019, 05:31 PM.

And also, credit to you because I've seen you take on new information many times in the past, and change your mind, even on things you were "invested" in. I knew it would be worth the effort.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostDue to Lurch, I now believe that climate change is likely real and is due at least in part to us. I am still under the impression that it is not nearly as bad as everyone makes out, especially the politicians who like to scream doom and gloom in order to push through their agendas. The world isn't going to end or be beyond redemption in a dozen years. Maybe in a couple of hundred. But I think our technology will change faster than that. We will switch to electric cars, probably perfect fusion reactors and stop our reliance on fossil fuels within 30 years. Not because of the politicians and doomsayers, but because that is the natural progression that technology is going. Electric cars, if they get the infrastructure in place and fast charging, will naturally replace gas cars. If they can get fusion power generation going, it will replace nuclear and most other power generation methods (allowing of course that the tree huggers don't find a reason to kill fusion by calling it dangerous)
fusion is an odd bird. We are making progress, but there are a lot of problems, not the least of which are neutron production that damages the containment structure and produces radioactive waste, and the fact most fusion we will be capable of in the near future uses tritium, which does not occur in any useful quantity in nature and so it must be produced either by the fusion reactor itself or ancillary fission reactors (which IIRC is where the fuel for the currrent experiments is currently produced.) Deuterium is plentiful and if we ever got to the point we don't need any tritium, we'd have plenty of energy for a long time, but it 'ignites' a lot hotter and so is a more difficult to solve problem.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
