If it took an economist to “break” the hockey stick analysis, wouldn’t that be a case of extremely sloppy climate science? Seriously, this was my first observation upon hearing about the Mann hockey stick: that a layman exposed its flaw so easily. Even more disturbing is that the whole initial Kyoto campaign rode upon it and that IPCC (to relax my earlier statement) included it in its earlier reports.
you merely *want* to believe that.
it’s funny that that accountant proclaimed accountants to be better record keepers than the volunteer data collectors of the temps. as if the recent accounting scandals hadn’t occured, as if the volunteers are being paid in percentages of corporate financial “savings”.
