Micheal Mann is not pleased. He says: "The implications of this study are vastly overstated by the authors."
We had a small ice age end in 1850, for goodness sake! The Global Warming thing is a complete scam.
I dont know how they can measure accurately to .6 of a degree from tree rings
It is a thing called “significant figures” and it is one of the first things you learn in college science
The concept is simple, you cannot be more accurate than your measuring device.
If all I have is a blank yardstick (with no inches marked on it), the best I give you is measurments in fractions of a yard (and you are never 100% certain about that fraction, you can only eyeball a half a yard or a third, but how about an eighth? or 3/16’s of a yard?)
You can not accurately say you have 3 yards and 14 inches.
Now if your yardstick is marked WITH inches, then you can accurately say something is 3 yards and 14 inches - you can even say 3 yards and 14 and a half inches, but not much more accurately than that. (you could not give thousandths of an inch accuracy, using only this yardstick)
So...
How do these scientists get the nerve to tell us things are ‘0.6’ degrees different than thousands of years ago?
Using tree rings as a measuring device?
That is why ALL THIS CLIMATE TALK is BULL$H!T~!
Yeah, I'd agree with that..............

I just knew that Mikey (the serial data abuser at the State Penn) wouldn't like this.
Amazing! A junk scientist criticizing another junk scientist. The latter's research must have been really bad!
As for tree rings, "trees dont represent temperature and half a year doesnt represent an annual record." See here and here.
Of course it was hot; everybody used togas
Of course it was warmer then. Rome was a republic (at least nominally), therefore inhabited by Republicans, therefore it was Bush’s fault.
