Amazing multiplying hockey stick proxies « Climate Sanity

The important point is that all the data for Mann’s 71 lutannt# “proxies” prior to about 1760 is made up of some combination of the same 10 or so “documentary information” predictors. This short list of predictors are the “Amazing Multiplying Hockey Stick Proxies.” These 10 predictors are multiplied into 71 proxies, and these proxies all rank high for correlation to the instrumental temperature record from 1850 to the present. Consequently, these 71 “proxies” likely weigh heavily in Mann’s 2008 hockey stick, and these 10 “documentary information” predictors, sometimes folded into ”proxies” over a thousand kilometers away, have an undeserved multiplied effect in making the flat part of the hockey stick prior to the instrumental temperature record.

New 'Climategate' evidence puts East Anglia scientist's future in doubt – Telegraph Blogs

At last some evidence that important climate data may have been “hidden” has emerged from the hacked University of East Anglia email furore.

If confirmed and upheld by the official inquiry now being conducted into the affair, Prof Jones – who has stepped down while it is carried out – will surely decide to go.
