Big news: Cherry Picking of Historic Proportions
The sheer effrontery and gall appears to be breathtaking.
The Briffa temperature graphs have been widely cited as evidence by the IPCC, yet it appears they were based on a very carefully selected set of data, so select, that the shape of the graph would have been totally transformed if the rest of the data had been included.
Kieth Briffa used 12 samples to arrive at his version of the hockey stick and refused to provide his data for years. When McIntyre finally got hold of it, and looked at the 34 samples that Briffa left out of his graphs, a stark message was displayed. McIntyre describes it today as one of the most disquieting images he’s ever presented.
Go read the whole thing. It’s important.
Science is self-correcting only when honesty and competence work.
I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED to find that data was cherry-picked and manipulated in this establishment!
(Sayeth Capt. Reynault.)
There is a “nutshell” version in layman’s terms here.
