Aug 14, 2010 Books Climate: HSI
A critical review of The Hockey Stick Illusion in the Scottish Review of Books. I was interested to see the Huybers and von Storch critiques of McIntyre's GRL paper mentioned without any allusion to the reasons given in my book as to why they were wrong.
You get a lovely warm feeling when this is the best your critics can come up with...

My friend Pesadia,
Your comment is too funny. Probably, no one can wait that long.
However, I am interested in your thoughts on HSI. Could you please do us the welcome service of sharing some of your thoughts. I found HSI very engaging and readable because it followed the threads of debate in depth and breadth. I enjoyed the way it progressed through the subject of the narrative, step by step, and the way different parts of the narrative were tied together by the use of foreshadowing and cross-references. Of course, no narrative could be absolutely complete, but I am interested in any insights or information you can supply. What were your conclusions upon reading HSI?
"Huybers was at WHOI"
Sorry - engaging mouse before brain, I'm afraid. I still think WHRC chose their name to spread confusion, although perhaps I shouldn't be quite so critical of those who get taken in!
