(2003-11-21) Measuring Global Warming Mann

DavidLegates on Michael Mann's Hockey Stick curve of temperature change (Environmentalism). But is the "hockey stick" assumption consistent with the observations? Harvard astrophysicists Dr. Willie Soon and Dr. SallieBaliunas and their colleagues contend that it isn't. After examining more than 240 individual proxy records analyzed by nearly 1000 researchers, they concluded that taken individually, proxy records offer strong support for the widespread existence of both the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age and that they do not support the claim that the climate (Global Warming) of the Twentieth Century is unusual when compared to the variability over the last millennium.
