Why? They have committed no crime. Have any policies been adopted as a result of their paper? No. Has any money been spent as a result of their paper? No.

Here's someone on your side of the fence (Anti-AGW) explaining it... See the "Divergence Problem" section: http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think2/post/mann_and_briffa_explaining_the_micks_nature_trick/[^] In short, the "decline" they were hiding was the result of tree ring data that ceased to reflect actual temperatures after 1950 or 1960. If you have an indicator that ceases to be accurate, as compared to ALL of the other indicators, you don't use it. Been through this before, on this very forum. "hide the decline" was merely a poor choice of words, since they had no idea that their private e-mails were going to be circulating world-wide.

What, RealClimate? You gotta be kidding me, thats a site maintained by one of Hansens employees. Its as biassed as it comes. However, to quote the section you indicated: "the trees react weakly to any further temperature increase." SO its not a decline its a weak increase? I hardly think then they have answered the quesiton!

No they didn't, they hadn't considered a couple of points that two other scientists pointed out to them.
CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

Who is frightened, exactly? Why would anybody be afraid of a rise of 1.5m over 100 years? Not exactly a tsunami. Where is the lie? They published a paper giving sea-level projections and how they were arrived at. Are hurricane forecasts fear-mongering lies; or do they merely enable people to prepare appropriately, even though, in the event, the hurricane does not strike them?

I'm no expert, but it looks like the particular trees in question are from one small region, and that region had some unusually-hot weather...Now, this link[^] shows some of the raw data, and it seems that one particular tree had a really odd growth pattern, and that was throwing off the calculations in the tree-ring study. Keep in mind that all of this data is going through some kind of formulaic translation, since they're getting tree ring data (Widths, I'd assume) and using those to derive temperature changes. "React weakly" does not necessarily translate to "weak increase"... You're playing with the words without understanding the context.

No, the raw data has always been available.

CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

Not entirely true. They accepted criticism from those working in the same or similar fields, but they had difficulty accepting it from scientists and others who had no background in climate studies, and they were not always right in this. (Would you let me criticise your burger flipping technique? No. Would I welcome your suggestions on the design of information systems? No. So you see, scientists are only human.)

So, what exactly did Siddall et al do to upset you? Oh, science. They modelled the sea-level changes versus global temperature changes over the past 22,000 years. And, hey, it worked! They then used the model to project sea-levels up to 2100, and published in July 2009. Hang on! Said Vermeer and Rahmstorf, surfacing from the publication of a similar paper (December 2009), we think you've overlooked a couple of points. So we have, Siddall et al replied, and withdrew their paper. That is how science works. It is, over time, self correcting.

The FSM clearly stipulates that global warming is proportional to the decline in piracy. Besides, there is only ONE Flying Spaghetti Monster, and clearly you won't be going to the heaven with the beer, strippers, and midgit (sic). The great thing about following the FSM is that the Pastafarians know for a fact that their "religion" is a joke. (No, I'm not one of them, but I think it's hilarious)

Let's get the easy bit over first, nobody lied. If I spot a bug in a piece of code, I am forced to correct it. Nobody is forcing me correct it, it is merely a figure of speech. Scientists have been forced to withdraw a study on projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding mistakes that undermined the findings. Similarly, nobody is forcing them to withdraw it, it is a figure of speech. Gee. If you hadn't been such a "rebel" at school, you might have learned something, like English.

No? So if it gets warmer, tree rings get wider, up to a point aparently, where they start to react weakly. Which means as it gets warmer, the rings dont get so wide. I dont see any implication a decline here, in temperature or tree ring width. Yes, and that ONE tree is famous. There is apic on the internet of it with a plaque attatched. Its quite funny, pitty I cant find the link, but basically, this one tree is behind the hockey stick, and all GW hysteria since!

I don't claim to understand the calculations they're doing... But supposedly the formula starts to fail around the '50s or '60s... As in the nearby thermometers show higher temperatures, but the tree rings don't correspond anymore. I found a little more explanation on the topic... Yes, it's a blog post, but then, so is most of our "evidence" nowadays... At least he quotes from a textbook. http://scienceblogs.com/islandofdoubt/2009/11/hacked_emails_tree-ring_proxie.php[^]

Ha! You mentioned Hitler! You lose! :) Actually, Godwin's Law applies to mention of Nazis too. Anything that compares people or things to Hitler or the Nazis qualifies as a Godwin invocation, except for totalitarian regimes and dictators, which are obviously similar. So technically, "eco-nazis" does qualify.

As usual, you do so much to foster and encourage reasonable debate on these issues. It's not at all like you're a barely literate, clueless moron, who doesn't really care what the issue is, so long as he can abuse someone, as a way to feel better about himself and his pathetic, failed life.
