Less evidence for a global warming hiatus, and urging more use of Bayesian model averaging in climate science

Posted on 14 February 2018 by ecoquant

(This post has been significantly updated midday 15th February 2018.) I’ve written about the supposed global warming hiatus of 2001-2014 before: “‘Overestimated global warming over the past 20 years’ (Fyfe, Gillett, Zwiers, 2013)”, 28 August 2013 “Warming Slowdown?”, Azimuth, Part … Continue reading →

Eli on “Tom [Karl]’s trick and experimental design“

Posted on 11 November 2017 by ecoquant

A very fine post at Eli’s blog for students of statistics, meteorology, and climate (like myself) titled: Tom’s trick and experimental design Excerpt: This and the graph from Menne at the top shows that Karl’s trick is working. Although we … Continue reading →

Why scientific measurements need to be adjusted

Posted on 7 January 2017 by ecoquant

There is an excellent piece in Ars Technica about why scientific measurements need to be adjusted, and the implications of this for climate data. It is written by Scott K Johnson and is called “Thorough, not thoroughly fabricated: The truth … Continue reading →
