Icarus,

Mann used a very small set of tree ring samples and then did not use statistics properly. Later larger sample sizes did not reproduce his results.
Briffa essentially did the same thing. But he went a step further and threw out most of his data and just used JUST those samples which would prove his hypothesis. This is what he published. He refused to share his raw data for ten years until a journal Editor compelled him to release his data.
What I would like to know is:
1. Who provided funding for this “work?”
2. Is the funding entity able to seek a refund of their monies? Or sue for fraud?
3. Can the funding agency sue Briffa and Mann to enjoin them from doing future work?

John Peter (01:18:41) :
President Obama won’t talk climate change in Copenhagen as per The Times UK:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6888165.ece
Maybe he has seen temperature records such as this one? Looks like Copenhagen will result in a failure to agree a comprehensive CO2 reduction treaty. It would appear to me that countries such as China and India are not convinced that CO2 is the only or even main driver of global warming when it actually takes place in amongst periods of cooling and, therefore, will not agree to mandatory CO2 reductions for their countries. President Obama seems to have got that message. Instead he is going to Oslo 10 Dec. to deliver one of his hallmark speeches.
This is political. As the US president presents a capitulating and weak front, more and more sovereign nations will assert themselves. To wit, both china and India are playing the political stage, and are announcing that the US (and EU, but the EU is a complete ineffectual mass of blowhards) has no power to do anything. In essence, China and India are saying ‘eff you’.
This is a bizarre notion: that somehow if *all* countries can get together and do something, then it will be done. Why cannot individual nations take these steps? What is preventing the UK, for example, or any other European country from reducing their ‘carbon pollution’? Why do such agreements require everyone to sign? Quite simply, this a political and economic package and has nothing to do with ‘climate’. That is, how can money be transferred from one nation to another, and – more importantly – how many entities can be placed in the flow to filter funds to personal political projects. If certain nations don’t play ball, then of course it’s ‘doomed to failure’.

Mr. Watts, (or someone who has plenty of free time) how about a spiffy chart or graph of all the temperature and precipitation records set this October, posted sometime in the early days of November?
I’d be a handy reference tool.
What would be extra extra doubleplusgood is a chart showing the number of record highs, lows etc for each month from way back. A large job but there must be someone who knows where to get the info and the wherewithal to compile the data? Perhaps a Java applet so the viewer can sort by month, day, year, de-cade etc…
Would be interesting to compare just how “record happy” October 2009 is VS previous Octobers.
