The Hockey Stick must live for unprecedented catastrophic global warming to exist. Even though they want to call it climate change, that description doesn’t fit. It’s global warming that is required and they’re not getting it.
It’s a sad twist of irony that what they need (the hockey stick) is also the poster child of what is wrong with their entire endeavor.
Silver bullets, garlic and holy water. That’s what is needed.
Way to Stick it to them, guys!
Some very up to date people….are writing very up to date papers
snark
Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice
its missing fangs and a cape…
Or maybe parts falling off of it…
I cant decide…
But Nice work Josh!
I thought the warmists said, emphatically and repeatedly, that the hockey stick didn’t matter. They said their evidence for global warming stood independent of the hockey stick. What a bunch of zombies!
Scientists divided over sexying things up…

“The use of sex to market science reflects the difficulty that scientists face in publicizing their research in the age of sound bites.”
Please, NOT in climate science… LOL
Anthony-
If the International Big History Project is not yet on the radar of the Climate skeptic community it should be. This is just ramping up but with Bill Gates personal support as well as Microsoft’s financial support, we are about to have even more influential false beliefs.
http://ibhanet.org/ Especially dangerous is this attempt to join the natural and human sciences into a single narrative. That’s been various UN agencies’ particular goal since at least 1970.
one brilliant day when the REAL awards recognizing service to science are doled out Steve will be high on the list.

Well, they already claim their models are ro-bust.
You gotta love Jean S: Buaah!! This is turning from a tragedy to a comedy and the paper has not even published yet!
“Buaah.” I think that means “ARGGGGHHH” in Finnish.
It’s funny how language evolves… How terms like “Postal” become common vernacular. I learned a new one the other day. Just substitute “Hockey stick” where VP Biden likes to say, “Mallarky” and you’ve got it. Like this: “Cuomo blames climate change for the bombing in Boston!? What a load of hockey stick!”

Unless of course we us a naked Polar Bear with family.Now there’s a commitment to nudity on a cold ice floe.
Brings to mind one of the verses of the Monster Mash…

Out from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, “Whatever happened to my HockeyStick twist?”
Except that he didn’t. He just used the two in the same paragraph.
more work for Steve when this comes out today. we already have Overpeck on ABC Australia radio this morning saying “deniers” aren’t scientists, they work for “special interests” – no link as yet:
22 April: SMH: Tom Arup: 20th century ‘hottest in 1400 years’
Warming over the 20th century produced the hottest global average temperatures in 1400 years, a major scientific research project has found.
In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Monday, an international team of scientists reconstructed temperatures over the past 2000 years using proxy records such as tree-ring measurements, pollen sampling, coral reefs, ice cores and historical records.
The study found that the global warming that began in the late-19th century reversed a long cooling trend across the planet that lasted well over 1000 years.
One of the authors of the paper, Dr Steven Phipps from the University of NSW’s ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, said: “The striking feature about the sudden rise in 20th century global average temperature is that it comes after an overall cooling trend that lasted more than a millennium…
The paper says the findings do not consider uncertainty associated with the temperature estimates, and the reconstruction for each area covered different periods within the 2000 years, depending on the availability of data.
In Australia and Asia, the reconstructed temperature was highest during 1971–2000 than at any other period over the studied timelines…

In hockey, “high sticking” gets you two minutes in the penalty box. However, if you leave the penalty box to get into a fight, you get thrown out of the game.
Hmm. Idea for another cartoon?

I believe he likened the two as they are both the new normal.
It’s still a load of hockey stick!

hmm, so-so. Doesn’t really work with Boston, it’s a big hockey town, both at NHL and collegiate level. Of course there is a load of hockey sticks there.
Didn’t Steve say he was going to cut back in his blogging activity? Just like Anthony?
They can run, they can hide, but they can’t stay away….
Very funny – Josh’s cartoon that is.
The Hockey Stick resurgence is a sign of desperation. They can see their funding is about to dry up big time if observed temperatures fail to warm. That’s climate change.
Here’s the abstract:
“Past global climate changes had strong regional expression. To elucidate their spatio-temporal pattern, we reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions during the past one to two millennia. The most coherent feature in nearly all of the regional temperature reconstructions is a long-term cooling trend, which ended late in the nineteenth century. At multi-decadal to centennial scales, temperature variability shows distinctly different regional patterns, with more similarity within each hemisphere than between them. There were no globally synchronous multi-decadal warm or cold intervals that define a worldwide Medieval Warm Period or Little Ice Age, but all reconstructions show generally cold conditions between ad 1580 and 1880, punctuated in some regions by warm decades during the eighteenth century. The transition to these colder conditions occurred earlier in the Arctic, Europe and Asia than in North America or the Southern Hemisphere regions. Recent warming reversed the long-term cooling; during the period ad 1971–2000, the area-weighted average reconstructed temperature was higher than any other time in nearly 1,400 years.”
Did I say “fail to warm”? Oh noes, something else to worry about.
