THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Paper finds 'warming since 1850 is mainly the result of natural climatic variations'

A paper published in Global and Planetary Change finds "Warming since 1850 is mainly the result of natural climatic variations." The authors studied "two climate series, the Svalbard (78°N) surface air temperature series 1912–2010, and the last 4000 years of the reconstructed surface temperature series from central Greenland. By this we are able to identify several cyclic climate variations which appear persistent on the time scales investigated." They find, "some identified cycles correspond to variations in the Moons' orbit around Earth" and "some identified cycles correspond to solar variations."

Errors in IPCC climate science » Blog Archive » Professor Stephan Lewandowsky believes satellite temperature data “…yield precisely the same result…” as “surface-based thermometers”.

In May 2010 Professor Lewandowsky stated on the Australian ABC online The Drum – “The further fact that the satellite data yield precisely the same result without any surface-based thermometers is of no relevance to climate “sceptics.”
Just checkout the very real trend differences between satellites and surface that I found in April 2012. “You know how the warmists parrot on that “satellites agree with surface temperatures” – not any more – they should check the data.”
