Flashback: Climate Depot Round Up of Marcott’s Collapsed New Hockey Stick Study — Prof. Pielke Jr. Mocks As The ‘Hockey Stick that never was’

'A paper published in Nature Climate Change finds prior temperature reconstructions from tree-rings 'may underestimate pre-instrumental [pre-1850] temperatures including warmth during Medieval and Roman times.' Many reconstructions show temperatures during the Medieval and Roman periods were warmer than the present, and this study suggests they were even warmer than previously thought'

Morano: 'UN IPCC scientist Kevin Trenberth has said every weather event now influenced by global warming. They are turning themselves into anti-science activists. When you claim without proof, it’s an assertion -- that 'hey global warming is everywhere' -- it’s a religion feeling. It’s like saying God is everywhere and every action you take is guided by the hand of God. You can’t prove or disprove that. Now with man-made global warming,  they say every storm is guided by global warming...But let’s take a look at all the low co2 storms...Their theory that somehow the weather is unusual that we have a 'new normal' -- not only does it fail to convince -- it becomes a laughing stock when you start actually looking at the hard data'

Published in Quaternary Research: Study reconstructs temperatures in the Russian Subarctic over the past 10,000 years and finds 'The regional Holocene Thermal Maximum, characterized by maximum warmth and dryness occurred at 7900–5400 calendar years before the present. During this period, July temperatures were at least 1°C higher than at present.'

'Review of the findings of several studies that have found evidence for the Medieval Warm Period in a region that is as far away from lands bordering on the North Atlantic Ocean as one could possibly get, i.e., Antarctica'

'I've grown old waiting for the promised global warming.' Literally: 'I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I'm 68, and there's still no sign of warmer weather.' -- 'So basically, all that the global warming advocates really have, as the evidentiary basis for their theory, is that global temperatures were a little higher than usual in the late 1990s. That's it. Which proves nothing. The climate varies, just as weather varies, and as far as we can tell, this is all well within the normal range' -- 'A theory with this many holes in it would be have been thrown out long ago, if not for the fact that it conveniently serves the political function of indicting fossil fuels as a planet-destroying evil and allowing radical environmentalists to put a modern, scientific face on their primitivist crusade to shut down industrial civilization. But can't we all just stop calling this 'science' now?'
