The Hockey Stick and Gaia

Some discussion of the Hockey Stick and the Hockey Stick Illusion at the website of scientist Lee Klinger, a former NCAR researcher. Klinger has queried the presentation of Mann's graph at a conference about the Gaia hypothesis without mention of the controversy.

It seems to me Bishop that Jan Zalasiewicz is using the Sir Paul Enfield methodology for putting together his arguments. The methodology is quite simple (in line with those who use it) you pretend to be moderate and then proceed to tell outrageous unsupportable porkies. In his response he talks being "quite aware of Andrew Montford's arguments". The Hockeystick Illusion does not have arguments in it, it is a narrative about an argument that took place between McIntyre and McKitrick and the Hockey Team, Jan Zalasiewicz, has clearly not read the book, but in that Paul Enfield way infers he has and dismisses it, by saying he's "aware of Andrew Montford's arguments." I suggest you write to him asking him which of your arguments he finds compelling and which he has issues with.

Somehow, I can't see a bloke, who is trying to make his name calling an epoch, being sceptical of AGW alarmism.

I am minded of that quote, about the impossibility of someone understanding something, when their job depends on them not understanding it.

Bish, forgive me, I'm on autopilot and have been using his stage name.

We humans are too pompously full of an exaggerated sense of self-importance. We are merely a transient mammalian swarm enjoying the respite of an interglacial, but too ignorant to recognise that this interglacial is in its dotage.
