Surely the band wagon has run out of road.
I assume here that the specious argument presented in that ill informed opinion piece you are declaring a "ripped apart fact" is a response to the cover story in Nature magazine.
How this is construed as discussion of the AGW politics is beyond me. Since when are ad hominem attacks and red herring arguments a discussion of politics?
Here is what she says about MBH 98/99
I am sure that someone has called it that so technically she is not lying.This shoddy research was subsequently torn apart so comprehensively that it has been called the most discredited study in the history of science
After examination by the http://www.nationalacademies.org/morenews/20060622.html" at the request of Congress the conclusion was:
She also declares that the IPCC has "quietly dropped" the reconstruction from it's assessment. An outright lie. Since it is right there in http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg1/ar4-wg1-chapter6.pdf" on page 476 with eleven other reconstructions that also have a hockey stick shape.There is sufficient evidence from tree rings, retreating glaciers, and other "proxies" to say with confidence that the last few decades of the 20th century were warmer than any comparable period in the last 400 years, according to a new National Research Council report. There is less confidence in reconstructions of surface temperatures from 1600 back to A.D. 900, and very little confidence in findings on average temperatures before then.
Is this the PF standard?
Are the rants of right wing lunatics now considered to be objective media coverage?
