The Games Climate Scientists Play

Roger Pielke, Jr.
"[UPDATE: At Real Climate Stefan Rahmstorf has a long and laborious post trying to explain not only the 1911 cherry pick, but several others that defy convention in attribution studies. In the comments below I publish Stefan's response to my query -- They used "trends" (using a new definition of that term in climate science) such that the "trend" from 1911 is the same as that from 1880. Look at the graph below and ask yourself how that can be -- Climate science as ink blot.]

Here is another good example why I have come to view parts of the climate science research enterprise with a considerable degree of distrust."
