Errors in IPCC climate science » Blog Archive » Australian hockey stick – whatever happened to the Great Barrier Reef coral time series ?

I am hoping readers will have some insights as to why the large database of GBR coral timeseries has been ignored.

Before leaving – I noted on page 10 of 54 – line 225 this gem suggesting a rigorous cherry picking was going on. “Only records that were significantly (p<0.05) correlated with the detrended instrumental target over the 1921-1990 period were selected for analysis.” Note that “instrumental target” means HadCRUT3v see Fig 2 – so if a series did not agree with the UHI affected Jones et al temperature trend – it was tossed out.

Ethical Questions with No Room For Climategate | Musings from the Chiefio

I’m quite disappointed in Stanford. They had an excellent opportunity to have explored some real ethical issues and the dilemma of what to do about Climate Change, how to balance the risks each way, how to balance the needs of some vs the advocacy science of others.

One other odd bit being how often folks talked about the BELIEF in Climate Change. How to get folks to believe. As though belief was what mattered, rather than truth.

So much interesting discussion of ethics that could have happened, white washed away by the need to promote the Agenda and be PC.

Volcanic Eruptions can Cause Volcanic Winters

Note that this occurred during the Dalton Minimum, which was similar to the sunspot minimum that we now appear to be headed into. It looks to me as if sunspot minimums can trigger civilization-changing volcanic activity.
