Is the cyclops with 2 pupils meant to symbolize the myopic view of climate alarmists? LOL.
Is that Bob Watson? - Chin not visible!
Cyclops...why didnt I think of that!
It reminds me that every forecast of the end of the world so far has been wrong, so even if this one were based on more than a wibbly model, it would still be statistically insignificant. :-)
Ah, yes, but the question is whether there is a Unit Root or not! "Unit Root or not Unit Root, that is the question!" VS.
My thanks for a pointer to a very edifying blog, Bishop. I have not looked at statistics for too long and found VS a most interesting read.
Josh, you really must come up with a cartoon about a Unit Root --- SOMEHOW. Just how, I don't know, but a boggy man chasing the AGW crowd is a good start. :) "AAAIIIIYEEE! It's the UNIT ROOT!! "
You might have it chasing FOD, But that is just a suggestion. :)
By the way, did I miss FOD's rebutal of the Unit Root? I could have missed it, even though I looked. Somebody please post a pointer if I did.. Thanks.
The "sigh-clops"
"Everyone says so"
Made me laugh.

A cartoon about Unit root?...that is a challenge...
Bet JOSH could make a great cartoon out of this! [How about the Congressional Panel dressed as Witch Doctors ?
Al Gore’s blog:
Last Monday, women whose lives had been impacted by the climate crisis came to Capitol Hill to tell their powerful stories. For example, Marisa Marcavillaca of Peru told members of Congress:
“Nature is disrupted. It rains when it shouldn’t rain.” Marisa Marcavillaca of Peru said through a translator. “We have freezing temperatures when we shouldn’t have freezing temperatures. Because our yields are down, it is difficult to feed our children.”
Josh --
"A cartoon about Unit root?...that is a challenge..."
I know, I know. But if it weren't then everyone would do it.
@ sdcougar
I wonder if Marisa Marcavillaca of Peru (I assume South America and not Ohio) ever heard of El Niño? It's only been affecting the weather down there for many thousands of years. Gimme a break Al, I live in California and know all about El Niño, which is making this the coldest and wettest winter in many years. Not to mention all of Europe. It is the Child doing it, not CO2 emissions. And as for the East Coast of the US, it is the worst winter in 40 years.
Very clever, I do enjoy Josh's cartoons. They are more enlightening than anything from the Guardian, BBC etc.
From Wikipedia:
"The adage "A picture is worth a thousand words" refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image"
'... It rains when it shouldn’t rain'
And there I was thinking the biggest problem was when it doesn't rain when it should.
I think it is high time that we call a spade spade and the inhabitants of AGW blogosphere gargoyles. Josh may have a field day with such imagery. Look at them. Aren't they cute as they ward off evil? ;-)

What is the purpose of Gargoyles?
What is the purpose of Gargoyles? The first is a practical purpose - gargoyles provided a method of drainage which protected the stones and the mortar of churches, cathedrals and castles from erosion. The number of Gargoyles added to buildings were numerous because dividing the flow of water minimized potential water damage. The second purpose of gargoyles was as 'guardians' of the buildings in the form of abstract symbols designed to represent, and to ward off evil.
What do Gargoyles represent?
What do Gargoyles represent? Gargoyles all have a common theme, they are carved with big wide-open mouths. Whilst this was a practical, functional and necessary requirement of gargoyles creatures and images with mouths wide open are symbolic of devouring giants. And lets be honest, how could Medieval stone masons make anything look beautiful when it has to be displayed with a big wide-open mouth!

It is funny because VS is now cuddling up to dhogaza and Rabett. He's chuckling inside, if anything, if at all.
VS forcefully stated the obvious and backed it up with credentials. Of course, one would guess that people have been doing that RC for years now - with no use.
