The link above is an excellent summary of the entire Hockey Stick debacle as described by one of the men who exposed it for what it was in the first place.

I highly recommend reading through the whole thing.

The author, in other posts, tells us that a discredited Hockey Stick does not disprove Anthropogenic Global Warming, and that's true. What is does is show how a major piece of data purportedly showing unprecedented 20th century temperature rise is actually a piece of statistical nonsense.

Even the new Hockey Stick is no better. It uses essentially the same cherry-picked and distorted data as the original.

What's even more interesting is that research which supposedly vinidicated the HS are just re-iterations of the same data, and not independent reconstructions as implied. There is a lot of fraud going on here, but no one in charge seems to want to say it. It also amazes me that anyone who can call themself a scientist actually defends these practices.

Link: How not to measure temperature, part 71: NOAA neglect of volunteer observers

The real kicker is, they don't seem to care they're using useless data! This is simply astounding. Really, I'm at a loss for the proper words, though the term fraud does come to mind. Or perhaps it's just gross negligence. I'd vote for both. The REAL fraud comes from NASA and the Hockey Team, you know, those "scientists" who came up with and support the "hockey stick" temperature reconstruction showing a fairly flat global temperature for the last 1000 years, with a sharp increase during the last 100 or so years. This "hockey stick" has played prominently in the IPCC reports since the very first. My next post will outline the fraud that is the "hockey stick".

In the meantime, write your congressmen and make them aware of this fraud being perpetrated upon the world. They might be democrats or republicans, but that shouldn't matter, you need to make them listen.

Expert called in amid fears for O' Connell Bridge

Sunday, 31 August 2008

Concerns are being expressed about the future of Dublin's O'Connell Bridge.

An independent expert has been called in to examine the landmark over fears it is falling apart because of global warming.

Dublin City Council insists the bridge is structurally sound after routine repairs last week.

The National Conservation and Heritage Group believe higher tides caused by climate change are eroding the bridge's structure and may have dangerously weakened its foundations.

That's the entire text of the article. It's hard to just quote part of it without posting a vast majority.

So this is what passes for journalism in Ireland? All I see is a fear mongering, gratuitous statement without corroboration.

Who's the "expert"? Where is a link to a study showing significantly rising tides?

This is really all there is to the "Climate Change" hype, no substance, only fear mongering and money-making.
