Stupifying Science Alert: Waiting for the Other Shoe

My new favorite correspondent, Alex Avery, advises that the online Denier Brigade is proudly boasting about this Science journal commentary , which Avery says offers a careful reanalysis of proxy records and โ€œfinds the late 20th century is not warmer than ADย 1,000.โ€

Avery neglected to include this riposte from the authors of the original (peer-reviewed) Science article.

While the deniers’ favorite retired mining promoter and statistician Steve McIntyre actually looks at both the comment and the rebuttal – and, surprise!, declares the criticism valid – Michael Mann of RealClimate.org read both and concluded, โ€œThe rebuttal, in my view, settles the matter. The (original) Osborn and Briffa ’06 conclusions stand withoutย modification.โ€

These scientific tempests are the only storms that get less vigorous with climate change. The โ€œscientificโ€ attacks get weaker even as the evidence itself grows ever moreย undeniable.ย 

But this instance shows once again that whenever someone pops up with a definitive new study that purports to disprove the science of anthropogenic global warming, it pays to look past the claim and ask for the rest of the story.
