OMG

McIntyre's latest post on the Marcott hockey stick is simply astonishing.

Richard Drake knows the html magic for making links on BH. This is what he put up on CA if you want to try again?

...as we wait for Entropic and bitty to assemble the lines of evidence from the climate drop/septic science folks.......

I expect there will be a dozen more short Steve McIntyre posts at CA about the Science journal paper 'Marcott, Shakun, Clark and Mix (2013)'. My estimated number of additional McIntyre posts on the paper is based on the specific approach he has taken in the 6 posts he has already done.


With a surgeons skill he is isolating specific data issues individually post by post, plus specific methodology issues individually post by post, and post by post individua inconsistencies in treatment vs other authorities in geology’s paleoproxy field. And as he turns up more findings the number of issues can easily multiply.


At some point in the middle of the steady stream of McIntyre’s posts the authors Marcott, Shakun, Clark and Mix will be forced to acknowledge the credibility of McIntyre’s analysis. Then we can predict an admission that they need to modify the paper or there will be severe science community pressure for a retraction.


McIntyre at his best . . . . indeed.


Science at its best.

Ridicule instead of evidence?

Shame on you , Diogenes

entropic - I was just reflecting your modus operandi...you never supply evidence, just innuendos

John Whitman...my take is that McIntyre does not enjoy taking down young scientists and he does not do it for the sake of it. there is a back-story of the insistence stoked by Mann that no one should aid and abet McIntyre. But, my take is that Mcintyre just wants to point out errors of proicessing or interpreation. if it were not for the way that Mann has personalised it, the science would be in a better state of health.

diogenes,


Nice to get a comment from you.


Steve McIntyre clearly loves to audit scientific research papers that make extraordinary claims; I think he has special interest in the ones that look ‘embellished’. The auditing can be called scientific forensics or just plain old rational detective work.


He has inspired a whole generation on the merits of classic scientific skepticism.
