[...] sound code and ‘PhD level’ code here and here. The best insight into the mess is the HARRY_READ_ME file, which screams out for hundred’s of pages on how bad the CRU code and results [...]

Fai Mao, true, but I referred to ‘raw data’ not ‘manipulated data’, you have to sort the two.

Some of the information on the article linked to above is wrong.

For example, he prints the now discredited hocky stick graph

First of all, the person responsible for this leak should get the peace prize. The more time to reflect the more I would agree that this is the work of an insider who leaked this information and not a random hacker. The “context” of this information is too good to be just a know nothing outsider who hacked the computer system.

That said the word usage above is most disturbing:

“make it up” “meaningless” “false” “dubious” “nuclear option”

This man does need a defense fund.

Let’s start the “Harry Read Me’ Defense Fund. I can’t imagine what he faces from the egomaniacs now that their gravy train has been cut off and they face the type of ridicule they have been dishing out for the last decade, or more.

Let me give a link for my claim above:

here is a quote:
“At the start of the Eocene, the continents were close to where they are now, but the average annual temperature in arctic Canada and Siberia was a balmy 18Â° C (65Â° F). The dominant plants up there were palm trees and cycads.”

that was only about 33 million years ago.

but here’s the link:

You said:

“Could you or others debunk it scientifically?”

and I said:
“no need to. look at the raw data. it proves itself.
there have been many times, over time, that the earth was much hotter. ”

and from above, you said:

“In my analysis of the data I measured the highest pre 1960 temp peak and compared it with the highest temperature peak in the 2000â€™s. What I found was baffling given all the alarm bells being rung. It turns out 75% of the planet has not seen peak-to-peak changes greater than half a degree â€“ less than the global crisis claimed by alarmists at CRU, IPCC, GISS and elsewhere.”

So I see you agree with me, actually I agree with you, you’ve done all the writing about it. Thankfully.

a footnote:
all these numbers we’ve been looking at only deal with about 1880 onward. Go back a look at the last several million years, you’ll see many peaks higher than anything in the last hundred years. and there weren’t any people around exhaling CO2 that would explain it. or burning coal either for that matter.
