“Steve McIntyre, the computer analyst who earlier exposed the notorious ‘hockeystick’ graph that was shamelessly exploited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Al Gore. (This used a flawed computer model to suppress evidence that the world was hotter in the Middle Ages than today.)”

Anybody who thanks that the hockey stick graph was “exposed” is a card-carrying denier, and ou can safely ignore everything they say. The rest of us try to stick with analysis that is vindicated by the most prestigious group of scientists in the country.

“But in the past year a number of expert US scientists have been conducting a public investigation, through scientific blogs”

Yup, that is the way to do science–through a blog.

The small error that was found in Hansen’s data by Steven McIntyre of ClimateAudit had an insignificant effect on the overall global temperature data–unlike the error made by Spencer & Christy which changed their conclusions completely.

It would seem to have much worse if they had contributed BEFORE his speech. That they do so AFTERWARDS is understandable.

P.S. I’m also against drilling, but fair is fair.
