Winter’s Icy Grip Continues in Minnesota
Well it’s tax day tomorrow so that means it must be the middle of April but instead it looks like the middle of December here in Minnesota. Its snowing today which makes it the 6th day in a row of measurable snowfall, that hasn’t happened since February… 1962, but never in April or even March.

Our theory failed, so we made up a sciency sounding story which hopefully will keep our funding coming in. Now we need lots of money to produce fake evidence that our fake theory is correct.
Tingley and Huybers Exclude Mt Logan « Climate Audit
Perhaps the greatest single difference between being a “real climate scientist” and policies recommended here is that “real climate scientists” do not hesitate in excluding data ex post because it goes the “wrong” way, a practice that is unequivocally condemned at Climate Audit and other critical blogs which take the position that criteria have to be established ex ante: if you believe that treeline spruce ring widths or Arctic d18O ice core data is a climate proxy, then you can’t exclude (or downweight) data because it goes the “wrong” way.

This seems trivially obvious to anyone approaching this field for the first time and has been frequently commented on at critical blogs. However it is a real blind spot for real climate scientists and Tingley and Huybers are no exception.
