The IPCC established, with flawed papers by Michael Mann and Malcolm Hughes, research standards for global warming. These papers moved from selective interpretation of selective tree ring, ice core, and coral reef data to seamlessly incorporate selective instrument measurements of recent centuries. They subjected data to linear regression analysis, which also proves mathematically the same visual image appears for clusters of boulders from a landslide as for Stonehenge. Welcome to the “hockey stick”.

Here is a link to the ac hoc report to Congress in 2006 on this subject.

I got as far as the bristlecone pine and collapsed!!!

Did note however, that the Committee blasted Mann’s data but funded further research!!!
