Guest post: On Baselines and Buoys

Posted on February 12, 2017 by ...and Then There's Physics

One of the key criticisms of Karl et al. (2015) is that it used a dataset that adjusted buoy data up to ship data – the suggestion being that, in doing so, they produced more apparent warming than if the … Continue reading →

Posted on February 5, 2017 by ...and Then There's Physics

Never failing to disappoint, David Rose is back with a new expose on how world leaders were duped into investing billions over manipulated global warming data. It refers to a paper published by Karl et al. in 2015 in which … Continue reading →

NOAA vs Lamar Smith

Posted on November 7, 2015 by ...and Then There's Physics

Two posts in one day; I haven’t done that for a while. Must be because I’ve drifted back into the climate wars. I kind of wish I was more interested in sociology, because some of what I’ve experienced in the … Continue reading →

No “pause”?

Posted on June 5, 2015 by ...and Then There's Physics

I wasn’t going to write a whole post on this, but what I thought I would do is simply provide links to those that have. Doug’s McNeall’s blog. RealClimate. International Surface Temperature Initiative. BBC, with – IMO – a sensible … Continue reading →

Temperature homogenisation

Posted on February 1, 2015 by ...and Then There's Physics

Amazing as it may seem, the whole tampering with temperature data conspiracy has managed to rear its ugly head once again. James Delingpole has a rather silly article that even Bishop Hill calls interesting (although, to be fair, I have … Continue reading →

Ocean heat content and sea surface temperatures

Posted on July 23, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I had a number of interesting Twitter conversations today and thought I would write about one of them. It started with me retweeting something from Andy Revkin which showed the NOAA ocean heat content, down to a depth of 2000m, … Continue reading →

Watt about the averages?

Posted on July 22, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

Just a quick post to point out that Bob Tisdale doesn’t read things very carefully, or doesn’t take much time to think about what he has read. In a recent Watts Up With That (WUWT) post called Why the NOAA … Continue reading →

Arctic sea ice extent

Posted on July 7, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I was somewhat surprised to see the following tweet from Andrew Neil Scientists, Marine Research, Bergen: decline in Arctic ice not thru warmer air but by shifts in ocean currents, pushing warmer water north — Andrew Neil (@afneil) July 6, … Continue reading →
