I was hacked!
Thank you Stuart and Jonathan for alerting me that their browsers warned them that my site hosted malware. Stuart was the first to alert me and Jonathan gave me the tip that the problem was somethign to do with “odmarco.com”. I [...]

Cold Antarctica,
The peninsula has warmed.
Has the center cooled?

In case some of you don’t know, Jeff Id and Ryan have posted a discussion of their reconstruction of Antarctica. You can read it here I don’t know enough about applying these reconstructions to say whether they will hold up. However, they appear to be running [...]

A reader reported that my site and Air Vent are blocked at his workplace. Other climate blogs he sometimes visits are not. Evidently, his work place evidently uses Websense.
We don’t know the precise reason the blog is blocked, but I consider it a problem if some people are blocked for no [...]

How many readers love the idea of RyanO and the two Jeffs assembling their analyses to submit a comment to Nature? How many love the notion of me assembling a paper and submitting to a Journal? Probably several of you do.
The problem
How many of those same people like the notion that [...]

Guess what? If we run the Santer17 type test on Global Surface temperatures, we now find that the model-mean trend rejects relative to both GISSTemp and Hadley temperatures and they both rejected 12 months ago. Amazing, huh?
You may wonder: Why do we care about what results the test gave if we ignore the most recent [...]

Strawberry shortcake
a delicious June dessert.
I’ll have some next week!

 
It’s the earliest possible Memorial day.
I transplanted sedum and weeded the perennial beds.
We had a hard frost Monday. Today, I planted tomatoes and peppers; I sprinkled basil seeds last Monday. Am I over eager?
Well, I’m always anxious [...]

HadCrut finally reported: April was warmer than March. Trends computed both starting in 2000 (for those who like positive trends) and since 2001 (for those who like negative ones) are shown below:
As you can see, all three agencies show negative trends since 2001– though NOAA’s negative trend is so slight we need to show [...]

David Post of the The Volokh Conspiracy is puzzled. He writes:
Take a look at this webpage, purporting to report on a posting of mine here on the VC. Here’s how it starts:”
David Post at the Volokh Conspiracy writes: Code’s a exceptionally momentous promulgate, in my purpose (and, I about, objectively speaking, in the purpose [...]

Re #707, You are talking about western life but that is not the lifestyle that we need to live now is it. What we need to live is the same as it was in Europe 5000 years ago in the Neolithic where we consumed [...]

Have you ever noticed the wildly oscillating intercepts on the least squares trends fit to Global Surface Temperatures? Have you wondered whether there is some way force that intercept to ‘meaningful’ value and still check whether a hypothesis (like the IPCC’s “about 2C/century”) might describe the data. Well, it is possible to fix the intercept [...]
