I believe the 'hockey stick graph' was looked at comprehensively by a US congressional committee who agreed that some of the statistical methodolgy was flawed but made so little difference that is was insignificant in the final analysis.

Anticipating this, the 'Exxon' led doubters set up through sceptic congressman Barton a parallel congressional comitteee, headed by a denier stool-pigeon ( Wegman?). Nobody of significance took any notice of their report apparently since the IPCC moved wholesale to the Hockey stick, slightly corrected and have developed it on further.

Nobody in the scientific community with any sense doubts it is the best collation & analysis of the last few hundred years (millenia actually) warming data even thought the uncertainties over proxy data are shared by everybody.

However, in the final analysis, it's a done deal and yet the denialists still think they will overturn the whole AGW concept by trying to reverse their previous routings - probability of that happening = the square root of sweet FA (polite version)

It's all in wiki btw

I didn't know until just now that Mcintyre & Mckittrick publish their first criticism in Energy & Environment

Poptech

Yes it was looked at and thoroughly discredited. It is so absolutely pathetic to see Computer Illiterates not comprehend that when you fed Mann's program junk numbers it ALWAYS produced a hockey-stick shape and then sit here and spin it. ANYONE who is trained in Computer Science understands he was deliberately programming for a Hockey Stick shape.

Spin can’t hide the facts concerning the hockey stick (PDF) (Stephen McIntyre, B.Sc. Mathematics, Ross McKitrick Ph.D. Economics, July 26, 2006)

"I believe" says it all really

Significance in YOUR eyes perhaps

Nice sweeping generalisations again

It's a done deal because of people like you who dismiss any thing else without even trying to understand the facts and as for trying to reverse it well it looks like it's a good way to control the masses and make money

As ever you are incapable of rational debate and post the same tired old drivel, you're either playing devils advocate or an IDIOT which is it ?
