Guardian.UK: Climate Priests withdraw journal claims of rising sea levels

No, they were forced to admit a lie.

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.

Well, sorry, I don't keep track of which websites are political shills. I just grabbed the first google link, because I don't want to be at this all day.

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? 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!

Its a bunch of religious goobuldigluck. They disguise fairytales of ghosts of pink unicorns and flying spaghetti monsters inas random scientific sounding nonsense.

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[^]

Noooo, godwins lae is about mentioning Hitler, not a political position.

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.

Yes, quite agree. There must be hundreds of studies relating to climate change which are full of inacuracies and lies just waiting to be exposed.

As someone else said, that's how science works. It's not a question of exposure, but of self correction over time, by scientists as a whole.

You know it's enough just to say that you disagree or are pleased at the outcome or results; you don't know to get all melodramatic and spiteful: it detracts from your point and makes you look a bit, well, ignorant.

They committed outright fraud and perpetuated a fear-mongering lie using taxpayer dollars, and broke various other laws in the process. They destroyed science.

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?

Author of Guardians of Xen (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel)Nazionalsocialism does not only apply to Germany post 1933. In fact this political movement was started prior to Hitler taking over the leadership. Ernst Rhomm for example was a prominent early leader, and in fact WAS the leader of the Brown Shirts, the defacto hard men of the Nazi party. Hitler otook out his competition for the leadership in the famous Night of the Long Knives where Rhomm and other prominent leaders wre killed.

So basically, as Mann and Briffa later state in your linki, tree rings are unreliable as hel and shouldnt be used, thus destroying the hockey stick entirely.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
After 1960, or whatever the exact year was, yes. So the CRU researchers obediently removed the tree ring data after that point (They had actual temperature readings anyway). That was what "hiding the decline" was.
