It seems no matter where you look, “hockey stick” shapes pop out of data related to climate. Today, the most extraordinary day in climate science seen in quite some time, was no exception.
And, the day is not over. But honestly I’m too tired to continue. Thus I’m going to present the dataset gleaned today in raw form, but without the final endpoint. There’s no smoothing nor splicing of dissimilar datasets, but granted it is not a complete dataset. I’ll have complete data tomorrow.
Readers will recognize that even though the endpoint has not been established, the conclusion from the graph is clear. We are living in times of extraordinary data, never before seen. It’s accelerating, and worse than we thought.
UPDATE: the final number at midnight Nov 20th, 2009 was 187,988 hits.
Sometimes, there is irony.
In other news, WUWT’s post on the CRU data hack was the number one post on WordPress today, beating out CNN, People magazine, and other well known media outlet posts.
I wish to offer my sincerest thanks to the WUWT moderation team. Thanks also to readers who spread the word and participated in the largest ever thread.
Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!
So who won science blog of the year btw?
Only Watt you deserve. A tribute to your persistence.
Let’s hope we see a similar graph for scientific fraud convictions v. time before too long. It will start from a low base and go exponential in 2010 … mmm, but I’m not holding my breath.
But are you willing to release ALL the data sets to Steve M?
LMFAROTFP!
Kudos

I want to see the emails between Anthony and wordpress.
,,,,,,,I’ll hack!
I see the enormous efforts at positive spin (or positive denial – mountains out of molehills, cherry-picked quotes, might not all be real) starting at all the “usual” team sites.
That’s the most beautiful (and accurate) hockey-stick I’ve ever seen.
Thank you, WUWT, for fighting the good fight. You (and science) have won and the alarmist rats will now be jumping off their sinking luxury liner and onto safer ground. Will Captain Gore stay the course or jump a lifeboat? What will be the next ’cause celebre’? We wonder. Hooray! Good work.

Hopefully not one of those Thierry Henry assisted goals…
I have it on good authority (from the Hadley files) that you’re all a bunch of hooligans. What we have here is a “hooligan hockey stick”!
Cheers! (as the Hadley poofs love to exclaim)

Well done – lets get this in the mainstream so people know the truth!
Sunlight and fresh air are excellent at eradicating toxins, germs and pus.
Despite the weather, it has been a very sunny week.

James Delingpole has as a good piece on:- http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017393/climategate-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-of-anthropogenic-global-warming/
The rest of the UK media seems to be ignoring it commpletely or fussing round the UEA in damage limitation mode.
This will not make a scintilla of difference to Copenhagen or to the policies of Obama, Merkel, Brown, Rudd and all the rest. None of that is about science, anyway. Not even the corrupt and arrogant ‘science’ perpetrated by Phil Jones and his band of eco-fascist crooks.
But it is to be hoped that it is yet another (and a big clunky) spanner in their machinations. Sooner or later the truth will of course out. And this is a milestone along the way.
Just have to hope that too much damage hasn’t already been done to human society (and to the reputation of true science) when this tired and comprehensively discredited AGW bubble eventually bursts.
I see RC is trying to go for a record too – they seem to have given up moderating to increase the post count.
But seriously, thanks to AW and his team for their services to scientific truth and open-mindedness.
It would please me to no end if we just referred to this collection as “The CRUTAPE letters”
with a hat tip to CS lewis.

Bishop Hill says theres more to come ….
The BBC is currently preventing discussion of the issue with this statement:
“Because comments were posted quoting excerpts apparently from the hacked Climate Research Unit e-mails, and because there are potential legal issues connected with publishing this material, we have temporarily removed all comments until we can ensure that watertight oversight is in place.”
Closing the stable door?

Congratulations – but you had me spooked for a second – raw data showing warming? And then I looked at the axes and realised what you plotted. For a second I thought it was temperature data and my heart dropped.
Keep up the excellent work.
Wonderfully Unswerving Work Triumph, chaps. Well done those men.
Oh Dear…

Ninh NOAA want to give us more money for the El Nino work with IGCN. How much do we have left from the last budget? I reckon most has been spent but we need to show some left to cover the costs of the trip Roger didn’t make and also the fees/equipment/computer money we haven’t spent otherwise NOAA will be suspicious. Politically this money may have to go through Simon’s institute but there overhead rate is high so maybe not! Best wishes Mick

Who’d a thunk I’d a stayed awake half the night on this. I was holding out for decent behaviour (by us) in this sea of appalling rudeness and corruption of Scientific Method, and I think that is coming through nicely.
Only the BBC shock me: interviewing the CRU folk with no mention of the “whistleblower” aspect. None at all. No suggestion that perhaps this stink needed to come out if we are to restore good science.
The Daily Mail here in the English District of the EUSSR is carrying the story:-
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1229740/Hackers-expose-global-warming-Claims-leaked-emails-reveal-research-centre-massaged-temperature-data.html
The Beeb makes mention of the story but not of the contents of the hacked material:-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8370282.stm
Without doubt this is the high water mark of the AGW flim flam. The emails do little to destroy the sad science of climate warming; rather they call into question the integrity and the honesty of the Hockey Stick fanboys and their pals.
People who have been reading WUWT and CA have already known that the “team” is willing to lie about, suppress, ignore and attack anyone and anything which challenges their deeply flawed point of view. The emails simply confirm that has been obvious for a couple of years.
The AGW fat lady is in the wings warming up.
In Copenhagen she will sing her first aria. And she will keep singing until doubt and science take their rightful place in the climate debate.
Wonderful.
I’ve spread the word to media folks here in Denver.
We’ll see if they comment on it.
This is an amazing ride! Thanks Anthony and moderators!
This hockey stick is impressive, you could ask the “de TEM” to per-review the data…. LOL
