—The largest step occurred in Douglas AZ where the Hansen error is 1.75 deg C! —
Shocking! I thought there was an overwhelming global consensus on Hansen’s infallibility!!!
It's incomplete, and certainly not fully clarified, but it's not the normal arrogant denialist non-response that many other members of the Hockey Stick Team, like Mann, typically issue.
Input data for the analysis, collected by many national meteorological services around the world, is the unadjusted data of the Global Historical Climatology Network (Peterson and Vose, 1997 and 1998) except that the USHCN station records up to 1999 were replaced by a version of USHCN data with further corrections after an adjustment computed by comparing the common 1990-1999 period of the two data sets. (We wish to thank Stephen McIntyre for bringing to our attention that such an adjustment is necessary to prevent creating an artificial jump in year 2000.)
By the way...did you see the GISS update on the 10 warmest years? I’m still trying to figure out whether it is an “official” update, or a derived update...but it looks like the figures have been off since 2000. If so, that’s what happens when you don’t release data, methods and procedures.

I particularly enjoyed seeing NASA's James Hansen (the only "scientist" Al Gore cited to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate committee in his March, 2007, anthropogenic global warming testimony) being ripped apart for his garbage-in/garbage-out climate computer modeling.
Does anyone know why Climate Audit and Climate Science sites are apparently down and have been since this morning East Coast time?
AGW`ers will laugh at this as inconsequential.
