Credentials

Background

Stephen McIntyre has been a long-time mining industry executive, mostly working on the โ€œstock market sideโ€ of mining exploration deals. He published a blog called Climate Audit where he attempts to analyse in sometimes long and extensive detail the work of climate change scientists where he documents โ€œstatistical mistakesโ€ in peer-reviewed scientific literature.3 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œShort Bio: Steven McIntyreโ€ (.doc), University of Guelph, October 25, 2003. 4 Colby Cosh. โ€œCentre of the storm: Colby Cosh profiles the gentle Canadian who has changed the climate science world,โ€ Macleans, December 13, 2009.

McIntyre has been described as a โ€œpersistent amateur who had no credentials in applied science before stepping into the global warming debate in 2003โ€ and has been a prominent critic of temperature records that suggest increasing global temperatures over the past 1000 years.5 Colby Cosh. โ€œCentre of the storm: Colby Cosh profiles the gentle Canadian who has changed the climate science world,โ€ Macleans, December 13, 2009.

As of 2003, McIntyre had worked in the mineral business for 30 years and he has been an officer or director of small public mineral exploration companies for over 16 years.6 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œShort Bio: Steven McIntyreโ€ (.doc), University of Guelph, October 25, 2003.

He left the mining company Noranda around 1988 to help found Timmins Nickel where he was still president as of 2007. By the early 1990s, Timmins Nickel had two mines and 120 employees. In 1991, the company acquired a stake in a project run by Dumont Nickel, a company for which McIntyre also served as president. Mcintyre then became president of Northwest Explorations which was taken over by CGX Energy in 1998. CGX Energy describes its โ€œprincipal business activityโ€ as โ€œpetroleum and natural gas exploration.โ€7 โ€œ2003 Annual Reportโ€ (PDF), CGX Energy Inc.

He then became president of Dumont Nickel, but left Dumont in 2002 to โ€œpursue other interests.โ€ In 2003, CGX Energy’s annual report listed McIntyre as a โ€œStrategic Advisor,โ€ the same year he first published an article with climate change skeptic Ross McKitrick.12 Demian McLean. โ€œNASA Fixes Data; 1934 Ousts 1998 as Hottest U.S. Year (Update1),โ€ Bloomberg, August 14, 2007.

Other companies McIntyre has been involved in include Vedron Gold Inc. Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. and DNI Metals Inc. Northwest Exploration has also been engaged in oil and gas exploration. As of 2010, McIntyre says he missed out on a lucrative mining boom due to his climate blogging, and said he would be getting back into the mining sector.14 Colby Cosh. โ€œCentre of the storm: Colby Cosh profiles the gentle Canadian who has changed the climate science world,โ€ Macleans, December 13, 2009.

Stance on Climate Change

January, 2005

Responding to the question, โ€œDoes your work disprove global warming?โ€ McIntyre replied that :

โ€œWe [McIntyre and Mckitrick] have not made such a claim. There is considerable evidence that in many locations the late 20th century was generally warmer than the mid-19th century. [โ€ฆ]โ€20 โ€œBackgrounder for McIntyre and McKitrick ‘Hockey Stick Project’โ€ (PDF), University of Guelph, January 27, 2005.

August, 2005

McIntyre has wanted to avoid making any definitive statements on global warming (emphasis added):

โ€œI’m just saying that I don’t know, he said. I looked at one narrow topic. I haven’t studied issues of infrared radiation and water vapor. And there are a host of issues that need to be studied.โ€21 โ€œHow the Wall Street Journal and Rep.

Key Quotes

August, 2014

McIntyre joined Desmog in an interview in London:22 Kyla Mandel. โ€œMcIntyre’s Mission: An Obsessive Quest to Disprove Michael Mann’s Hockey,โ€ Desmog, November 30, 2014.

โ€œI donโ€™t have a big objection to think tanks sponsoring things โ€ฆ I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s enough support for sceptics or critics as it is. If I wanted to make money, Iโ€™d have stayed in the mining business, rather than try to get money from Climategate.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m much more effective [on my own] than if I was depending on them. I think thatโ€™s actually been important to my staying power in this.โ€23 Kyla Mandel. โ€œMcIntyre’s Mission: An Obsessive Quest to Disprove Michael Mann’s Hockey,โ€ Desmog, November 30, 2014.

Talking about his involvement in posting the so-called โ€œclimategateโ€ emails, McIntyre spoke on how he asked his blog readers to submit FOI (Freedom of Information) requests to the university in order to obtain research data. The logic was โ€œif theyโ€™d sent it to other peopleโ€ฆ they had waived any confidentiality rights and on several counts they could not selectively send it to their pals and not send it to me.โ€ McIntyre said.24 Kyla Mandel. โ€œMcIntyre’s Mission: An Obsessive Quest to Disprove Michael Mann’s Hockey,โ€ Desmog, November 30, 2014.

A few days later, McIntyre revisited the universityโ€™s website only to discover the very data he was after: โ€œI noticed a file that was about the right size of a tree ring data setโ€ฆ so I opened it up and read it and thought โ€˜this is funny, this is the same data theyโ€™re refusingโ€™.โ€25 Kyla Mandel. โ€œMcIntyre’s Mission: An Obsessive Quest to Disprove Michael Mann’s Hockey,โ€ Desmog, November 30, 2014.

โ€œI then wrote a post at Climate Audit where I had some fun with itโ€ฆ a mole, I didnโ€™t actually say a mole [provided] this data but I kind of made it. I edited a mole and then I announced that I was in possession of the version that they wouldnโ€™t send to me.โ€26 Kyla Mandel. โ€œMcIntyre’s Mission: An Obsessive Quest to Disprove Michael Mann’s Hockey,โ€ Desmog, November 30, 2014.

2010

โ€œIn my opinion, CRU has manipulated and/or withheld data with an effect on the research record. The manipulation includes (but is not limited to) arbitrary adjustment (‘bodging’), cherry picking and deletion of adverse data.โ€27 โ€œAPPENDIX โ€“ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE SUBMISSIONโ€ (PDF), S. McIntyre, Feb. 10, 2010. From psu.edu.

December, 2009

The following quotes are from an interview between Steve McIntyre and The Star titled โ€œPortrait of a local climate skepticโ€:28 โ€œPortrait of a local climate skeptic,โ€ The Star, December 12, 2009. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/R2ITt

โ€œOne of the things that I don’t get in the description of me by the climate scientists is they portray me as a truck driver savant. I am well-educated.โ€

Referring to Michal Mann’s research: โ€œโ€Nobody had ever checked this stuff with any sort of due diligence,โ€ he said.

โ€œWhat I find that is far too prevalent among climate scientists is that if they don’t persuade somebody of something, they blame the audience, not the presentation. I think part of that is being in the university environment where people are important in their departments โ€“ they’re mostly dealing with graduate students (and) sympathetic audiences, by and large, or audiences that criticize them differently than in a business organizations.โ€

The Star writes that McIntyre had โ€œsaid mining investors would walk away if he couldn’t recruit them with solid facts.โ€

2008

โ€œI’m pretty sure that the first time I ever thought about climate change was in late 2002 when the Canadian Government was promoting acceptance of the Kyoto Protocol. The slogan for their campaign was that the 20th century was the warmest century, the 1990s the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year in the past millennium – a slogan that got repeated in speech after speech and presentation after presentation.โ€29 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œHow do we ‘know’ that 1998 was the warmest year of the millennium?โ€ (PDF), Presentation at Ohio State University May 16, 2008.

Comments Surrounding 2021 Capitol Insurrection

McIntyre was among dozens of the individuals and organizations profiled in DeSmog’s Disinformation Database who posted online or gave interviews about the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. Some posted claims of election fraud, similar to those that drove the Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 6. Some circulated dubious information about the insurrection itself. DeSmog has preserved a selection of notable posts related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, including some that were later deleted or removed.

Key Deeds

April – May 2016

Steve McIntyre published two blog posts (here and here) that were subsequently used as support by fellow climate change denier John Christy who had been accused by Gavin Schmidt (director of NASAโ€™s Goddard Institute for Space Studies) of giving โ€œmisleadingโ€ testimony to the US Congress.30 โ€œGavin Schmidt and Reference Period ‘Trickery’,โ€ Climate Audit, April 19, 2016.

Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/zoVcW

Christy claimed that he had โ€œthoroughly demonstrated that Schmidt (again) was completely wrongโ€ using McIntyre’s posts as support, which suggest โ€œtrickeryโ€ on the part of Schmidt.33 โ€œChristy: Schmidt Is ‘Completely Wrong’,โ€ Reportingclimatescience.com, May 8, 2016. Archived September 30, 2016. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/zoVcW

February 2014

In a series of blog posts published over ten days, McIntyre attacked climate scientist Professor Michael Mann in relation to a defamation suit the scientist brought against Canadian conservative commentator Mark Steyn and others. Related posts included:

Steyn had claimed that Mann had produced fraudulent work and used a quote from Competitive Enterprise Institute writer Rand Simberg, who had compared Mann to a child molester.34 Aaron Huertas. โ€œMichael Mann Responds to Misleading Filings in Climate Change Lawsuit,โ€ Union of Concerned Scientists, September 3, 2014. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/p3qFv

McIntyre claimed that Mann had misrepresented the findings of reports and inquiries into his work and the work of other climate scientists in relation to the so-called โ€œclimategateโ€ affair, when the emails of scientists at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia were illegally hacked and then published.

In a postscript to his first post, McIntyre revealed that three months earlier he had travelled to Washington to provide a briefing to Steyn’s then legal team and also to the Competitive Enterprise Institute. He wrote:35 โ€œMann and the Oxburgh Panel,โ€ Climate Audit, February 17, 2014. Archived September 30, 2016. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/Vy3de

In October 2013, at the request of Steptoe, the then lawyers for National Review and Steyn, I visited them in Washington to provide background on the dispute. Steptoe paid my travel expenses, but I was not offered (nor did I request) remuneration for my time. During the trip, I also provided a briefing with CEIโ€™s counsel. Following my trip, Steptoe proposed that I act as a consultant to National Review in the litigation, but I didnโ€™t follow up or enter into any agreement. I am reluctant to enter into a consulting agreement at present, since I want to preserve my ability to comment independently. On the other hand, I can envisage circumstances in which I might enter into a consulting agreement with one of the parties and perhaps even be remunerated for my time: everyone else seems to get paid. If that happens, Iโ€™ll disclose it.

May 2013

The UK’s Information Tribunal rejected on appeal a request by McIntyre to force scientists at the University of East Anglia to release information related to tree ring measurements which were being used as part of ongoing research.36 โ€œInformation law update, April / May 2013โ€ (PDF), ThirtyNine Essex Street. Archived .pdf on file at Desmog.

The university had refused the requests on the grounds that the work was part of ongoing research which would eventually be published in full. One of the co-ยญโ€authors objected to the release of the draft paper on the basis that โ€œit is not helpful, and may be misleading or confusing to release versions of nonโ€finalised documents.โ€37 โ€œInformation law update, April / May 2013โ€ (PDF), ThirtyNine Essex Street. Archived .pdf on file at Desmog.

The scientists later accused McIntyre of engaging in a failed campaign to discredit them, based on false claims. McIntyre had pursued the information for more than two years. After making his first request in April 2011, the UEA issued a refusal letter in July that year. McIntyre challenged the decision, but the UK’s Information Commissioner refused that request. McIntyre again appealed, taking the decision to the Information Rights Tribunal.38 โ€œSTEPHEN MCINTYRE And THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER And UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIAโ€ (PDF – Appeal No: EA/2012/0156), HM Courts & Tribunals Service, May 17, 2013. Archived .pdf on file at Desmog.

The Tribunal rejected McIntyre’s appeal. In the decision notice, Judge Taylor wrote:

We found Mr McIntyreโ€™s argument that the authors had in some way jeopardized any right to a safe space for research by virtue of having published other articles uncompelling. Likewise, his argument that the authors of the 2008 Paper had misinformed the public by failing to disclose relevant adverse results in the requested chronology did not carry force if it was accepted that the chronology and related paper was not complete.39 โ€œSTEPHEN MCINTYRE And THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER And UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIAโ€ (PDF – Appeal No: EA/2012/0156), HM Courts & Tribunals Service, May 17, 2013. Archived .pdf on file at Desmog.

According to the judgement notice, Mr McIntyre had pushed the case โ€œbecause it would โ€˜show a long-standing academic fraud by the Climatic Research Unitโ€™. McIntyre had also claimed it was in the public interest to have the information disclosed, even though it was part of a work-in-progress.40 โ€œSTEPHEN MCINTYRE And THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER And UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIAโ€ (PDF – Appeal No: EA/2012/0156), HM Courts & Tribunals Service, May 17, 2013. Archived .pdf on file at Desmog.

Judge Taylor added:

We did not find any public interests in favour of disclosing the information at the time of the request. There was a strong public interest for scientific research to be the subject of scrutiny, but not prematurely whilst incomplete.41 โ€œSTEPHEN MCINTYRE And THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER And UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIAโ€ (PDF – Appeal No: EA/2012/0156), HM Courts & Tribunals Service, May 17, 2013. Archived .pdf on file at Desmog.

Writing at Real Climate in July 2013, the UEA scientists said McIntyre had engaged in a โ€œlong campaign of allegations of dishonesty and scientific.โ€ They wrote:42 โ€œYamal and Polar Urals: a research update,โ€ RealClimate, June 3, 2013. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/9k41j

That the critics have promoted a series of results that have turned out to be flawed is unfortunate but not in itself reason to complain โ€“ as science progresses it is usual for results to be improved and superseded. What can be condemned, however, is the long campaign of allegations of dishonesty and scientific fraud made against us on the basis of these false claims. That is the most disquieting legacy of Steve McIntyre and ClimateAudit.

August 2012

McIntyre became embroiled in a row with psychology researchers at the University of Western Australia, including Professor Stephan Lewandowsky. Lewandowsky was the lead author on research finding that endorsement of conspiracy theories, such as NASA faking the Apollo moon landings, was linked to the rejection of climate science.43 Graham Readfearn. โ€œResearch Links Climate Science Denial To Conspiracy Theories, But Skeptics Smell A Conspiracy,โ€ Desmog, September 5, 2012.

McIntyre suggested Lewandowsky may have fabricated a claim that his team had unsuccessfully approached โ€œ5 skeptic blogsโ€ to post a link to the survey. He wrote: โ€œIf Lewandowkyโ€™s claim about 5 skeptic blogs was fabricated, it appears to me that it would be misconduct under university policies.โ€44 โ€œTweet your permission for Lewandowsky to โ€˜outโ€™ you,โ€ The Blackboard, August 30, 2012.

McIntyre encouraged readers to email the universityโ€™s Deputy Vice-Chancellor Robyn Owens to complain. It later emerged that McIntyre was in fact one of the bloggers who had been approached to post the survey.45 โ€œTweet your permission for Lewandowsky to โ€˜outโ€™ you,โ€ The Blackboard, August 30, 2012.

McIntyre had criticised the online survey used to gather data for the study, which he claimed left an opportunity for bloggers who accept climate science to fake their results to make sceptics look like conspiracy theorists. Lewandowsky addressed the issue, saying that even when possible outlier responses were removed the central finding of the study remained.47 Stephan Lewandowsky. โ€œFaking that NASA faked the moon landing,โ€ Shaping Tomorrow’s World, September 12, 2012.

McIntyre’s keynote covered the tree ring data discussed in the stolen East Anglia CRU emails, alluding to conspiracy and scandal.

During the speech, McIntyre told the audience: โ€œThere is far too much angriness in my opinion on both sides of the debate. People are far too quick to yell ‘fraud’ at the other side. I think such language is self-indulgent and counter productive.

According to Marc Sheppard, writing in The American Thinker, โ€œSteve stopped quite a bit short of passing judgment.โ€ Sheppard said that McIntyre disappointed many in the audience with his description of why โ€œMann, Jones, and Company shouldn’t be thrown in jail.โ€51 Marc Sheppard. โ€œICCC 4 Opens with a Climategate Surprise,โ€ American Thinker, May 18, 2010.

December 2009

McIntyre has been accused of โ€œquote miningโ€ material from the stolen CRU emails with the purpose of suggesting the IPCC was hiding information. Most notably is McIntyre’s use the phrase โ€œhide the decline,โ€ which he takes out-of-context to suggest a decline in temperatures this century, when it is in fact a reference to a decline in tree-ring density since 1961. McIntyre has never offered a correction, but has instead further misrepresented the meaning of the CRU emails with other quotations.54 โ€œSteve McIntyre, down in the quote mine,โ€ Deltoid, December 11, 2009. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/s5817

McIntyre quotes the following section from the CRU emails:

IPCC Lead Authors met in Arusha, Tanzania from September 1 to 3, 1999 โ€ฆ at which the final version of the โ€œzero-orderโ€ draft of the Third Assessment Report was presented and discussed โ€ฆ

No minutes of this meeting are available, but Climategate correspondence on Sep 22-23, 1999 provides some contemporary information about the meeting.Mann noted that โ€œeveryone in the room at IPCC was in agreement that the [decline in the Briffa reconstruction] was a problemโ€

But he leaves out essential parts of these emails, and DeepClimate shows that when the original emails are shown in full โ€œMcIntyreโ€™s speculations are shown to be utterly without foundation.โ€55 โ€œSteve McIntyre, down in the quote mine,โ€ Deltoid, December 11, 2009.

Dennis insisted that โ€œI did not leak any files, data, emails or any other material.

September 2009

Steve McIntyre criticized a new dataset that was analyzed and reported by U.K. climate scientist Keith Briffa, published by Briffa and colleagues in 2008 as part of a paper in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B (2008) 363, 2271โ€“2284).60 โ€œFresh Data on Briffa’s Yamal #1,โ€ Climate Audit, September 26, 2009.

He accused Briffa of withholding data and suggests that he had used too few trees to come up with the data. McIntyre’s accusation of โ€œcherry-pickingโ€ of proxy sites by the paleo-climatological community, which he describes as the โ€œHockey Team,โ€ has become common in the skeptical community. McIntyre goes as far as comparing tree-ring chronology in paleoclimatology studies to โ€œcrack cocaineโ€ addiction.62 โ€œFresh Data on Briffa’s Yamal #1,โ€ Climate Audit, September 26, 2009.

McIntyre’s accusations spread quickly among skeptical blogs, and even two newspapers including the UK Telegraph in an article written by skeptical journalist James Delingpole who clams that McIntyre has revealed that โ€œglobal warming is based on one MASSIVE lie.โ€ Economist and fellow climate change skeptic Ross McKitrick also weighed in on the subject in an article in the National Post.64 โ€œHow the global warming industry is based on one MASSIVE lie,โ€ The Telegraph, September 29, 2009.

Despite suffering severe kidney disease at the time, Briffa responded to McIntyre’s comments describing that the implication of McIntyre’s comment (that the tree data chosen โ€œwere purposely selected by me from among a larger available data setโ€) was simply not the case as he had applied a tree-ring processing method provided by scientists Rashit Hantemirov and Stepan Shiyatov. Briffa comments:66 โ€œThe Yamal ring-width chronology of Briffa (2000),โ€ K.R. Briffa, September 30, 2009. Retrieved from www.cru.uea.ac.uk. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/oAET2

โ€œThese authors [Hantemirov and Shiyatov] state that their data (derived mainly from measurements of relic wood dating back over more than 2,000 years) included 17 ring-width series derived from living trees that were between 200-400 years old. These recent data included measurements from at least 3 different locations in the Yamal region. In his piece, McIntyre replaces a number (12) of these original measurement series with more data (34 series) from a single location (not one of the above) within the Yamal region, at which the trees apparently do not show the same overall growth increase registered in our data.โ€67 โ€œThe Yamal ring-width chronology of Briffa (2000),โ€ K.R.

Briffa concludes that โ€œI do not believe that McIntyre’s preliminary post provides sufficient evidence to doubt the reality of unusually high summer temperatures in the last decades of the 20th century.โ€ McIntyre responded to Briffa in a ClimateAudit post, and while he claims that he did not โ€œsay or imply that Briffa had ‘purposely selected’ individual cores into the chronology,โ€ he continues to accuse Briffa of withholding data, and describes how โ€œsome people (not myself) have interpreted this as evidence of malfeasance.โ€68 โ€œKeith Briffa Responds,โ€ Climate Audit, October 1, 2009.

DeepClimate reported an independent examination of McIntyre’s paper by a blogger called Delayed Oscillator, or โ€œDO.โ€ In comparing McIntyre’s data with that of the raw Yamal data, DO found that the end-spike in the Yamal data which McIntyre described as โ€œcrack cocaineโ€ for paleoclimatologists is depending on the choice of smoothing:69 โ€œ‘Delayed Oscillator’ on divergence,โ€ Deep Climate, October 6, 2009. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/eSdgl

โ€œPart of the difference appears to be McIntyreโ€™s use of a 21 year Gaussian low pass filter. The issues of how to smooth data series to avoid misleading end effects is not a trivial one. I can replicate the strong upturn in the modern era in McIntyreโ€™s graph by using reflected end points. This creates the illusion of a massively unprecedented rise in ring width,โ€ DO wrote.70 โ€œYamal Emulation I,โ€ delayed.oscillator, October 5, 2009. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/M9yPB

McIntyre’s contentions were thoroughly dispelled with information from the very Russian researchers who control the raw tree-ring data that McIntyre suggested did not include enough samples. Rashit Hantemirov wrote about their new improved selection of data which came up with the same result as in Briffa’s original study (emphasis added):71 โ€œLet the backpedalling begin,โ€ Deep Climate, October 7, 2009. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/eJJsI

Low number of used for reconstruction subfossil series is explained by standardisation method (โ€œcorridor methodโ€). We had to select the longest series. The same concerns to living trees. There are not much old living trees in this area (in contrast to Polar Urals), therefore we used only 17 (not 12) samples from living trees. At that time we had close collaboration with CRU and I sent to Keith Briffa these raw data.

So, selection of samples has been made by me taking into account length of individual series as well as common requirements to increment cores (exclusion samples with compression wood, rotten wood etc.).

As to reliability of recent increase in tree growth โ€“ we have updated our data using many additional subfossil and living trees and using RCS-method. I.e. we used not only long series. Therefore many (120) living trees have been used. Finally, we have got almost the Briffa’s result.

February 14, 2005

Stephen McIntyre was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal for his highly critical stance of Michal Mann’s โ€œHockey Stickโ€ graph. McIntyre was an influential force behind a series of ongoing allegations and verbal attacks directed towards Michael Mann regarding the graph.76 Antonio Regalado. โ€œIn Climate Debate, The ‘Hockey Stick’ Leads to a Face-Off,โ€ The Wall Street Journal, February 14, 2005. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/7DsFx

Investigations have since supported the Hockey Stick, and its central conclusion that temperatures have spiked dramatically since humans began using fossil fuels are being confirmed with each new scientific study.77 Richard Littlemore. โ€œNational Science Foundation vindicates Michael Mann,โ€ Desmog, August 22, 2011.

McIntyre, who had spent over $5,000 of his own money in investigation the graph, believes that he discovered โ€œsignificant oversights and errors.โ€78 Antonio Regalado. โ€œIn Climate Debate, The ‘Hockey Stick’ Leads to a Face-Off,โ€ The Wall Street Journal, February 14, 2005. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/7DsFx

When McIntyre first became interested in the graph, he teamed up with fellow climate change skeptic, economist Ross McKitrick to write their โ€œcritiqueโ€ in the October, 2003 issue of Energy and Environment, a journal edited by climate change skeptic Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen. Energy and Environment, which published other articles by McKitrick and McIntyre over the years, has been criticized for its peer-review process and preferential treatment for papers by climate change skeptics.79 Antonio Regalado. โ€œIn Climate Debate, The ‘Hockey Stick’ Leads to a Face-Off,โ€ The Wall Street Journal, February 14, 2005. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/7DsFx

McIntyre also e-mailed Dr. Mann, requesting that he supply the raw data used to build the hockey stick. The feature story on McIntyre caught the attention of Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Barton later made his own request for the raw data from the hockey-stick analysis. McIntyre told Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) that Joe Barton’s congressional staff called him shortly after the WSJ article: โ€œThey wanted to know if I had spoken to the Wall Street Journal and if the article was true,โ€ McIntyre said.80 โ€œHow the Wall Street Journal and Rep. Barton celebrated a global-warming skepticโ€ (PDF), Environmental Science and Technology, August 31, 2005. Retrieved from realclimate.org

In late June, Barton sent out letters to Mann and his colleagues that referenced McIntyre’s study. The letter begins as follows:81 โ€œHow the Wall Street Journal and Rep. Barton celebrated a global-warming skepticโ€ (PDF), Environmental Science and Technology, August 31, 2005. Retrieved from realclimate.org

Barton celebrated a global-warming skepticโ€ (PDF), Environmental Science and Technology, August 31, 2005. Retrieved from realclimate.org

Barton’s letters were later criticized by professional societies. For example, The American Association for the Advancement of Science and the AGU protested Bartonโ€™s โ€œintrusion into the scientific processโ€ with an 11-page point-by-point refutation of every issue raised by Barton.83 โ€œHow the Wall Street Journal and Rep. Barton celebrated a global-warming skepticโ€ (PDF), Environmental Science and Technology, August 31, 2005. Retrieved from realclimate.org

McIntyre’s study also made its way into a Senate debate when Senator Inhofe referenced the work, declaring โ€œWe have the Energy & Environment report that came out in 2003 that says the original Mann papers contain collation errors, unjustifiable truncations of extrapolations of source data, obsolete data [โ€ฆ].โ€84 โ€œHow the Wall Street Journal and Rep.

September 2005

McIntyre made an Ohio State presentation titled โ€œHow do we ‘know’ that 1998 was the warmest year of the millennium?โ€85 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œHow do we ‘know’ that 1998 was the warmest year of the millennium?โ€ (PDF), Presentation at Ohio State University May 16, 2008.

He sets out to disprove Michael Mann’s โ€œHockey Stickโ€ graphโ€ by showing that these supposedly ‘independent’ studies are nothing of the sort, but rely on the re-cycling of a very small
number of stereotyped series to achieve the Hockey Stick effect.โ€

McIntyre points to quotes by then environment minister David Anderson:86 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œHow do we ‘know’ that 1998 was the warmest year of the millennium?โ€ (PDF), Presentation at Ohio State University May 16, 2008.

โ€œI’m pretty sure that the first time I ever thought about climate change was in late 2002 when the Canadian Government was promoting acceptance of the Kyoto Protocol.The slogan for their campaign was that the 20th century was the warmest century, the 1990s the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year in the past millennium – a slogan that got repeated in speech after speech and presentation after presentation.โ€87 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œHow do we ‘know’ that 1998 was the warmest year of the millennium?โ€ (PDF), Presentation at Ohio State University May 16, 2008.

According to DeepClimate, McIntyre selectively references these quotes as the original quotations, when taken in context โ€œdo not support the claim, since they clearly refer to the instrumental record and donโ€™t even compare those years to pre-20th century temperatures.โ€ The original quote from David Anderson as of April 5, 2002 reads as follows:88 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œHow do we ‘know’ that 1998 was the warmest year of the millennium?โ€ (PDF), Presentation at Ohio State University May 16, 2008.

The 20th century was the warmest in the Northern Hemisphere in the past 1000 years. The 1990s was the warmest decade on record and 1998 was the warmest year โ€“ in Canada and internationally. โ€“ David Anderson, April 5, 2002. [Emphasis added]

While McIntyre mentions โ€œlate 2002,โ€ Anderson had dropped all references to any 1000-year context by that time, as evidenced in his speech to the House of Commons where he only discusses 20th century warming as well as all of Anderson’s speeches archived for 2002 (except for those from the April regional tour).89 โ€œNotes for an address by The Honourable David Anderson, P.C., M.P.

Stephen McIntyre partnered with Ross McKitrick to publish their first-ever critique of Michael Mann’s Hockey Stick graph. The critique, titled โ€œCorrections to the Mann et. al. (1998) Proxy Data Base and Northern Hemispheric Average Temperature Series,โ€ was published in Energy and Environment (Volume 14, Number 6 / November 2003), a journal that was not carried in the ISI listing of peer-reviewed journals and whose peer review process has been widely criticized for allowing the publication of substandard papers.102 โ€œCorrections to the Mann et. al.

Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/klnNR

Later research into the peer-review process that allowed the publication of their paper uncovered that Energy and Environment editor-in-chief Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen had rushed the paper into publication for โ€œpolicy impact reasons, e.g. publication well before COP9.โ€103 Stephen McIntyre. โ€œHow do we ‘know’ that 1998 was the warmest year of the millennium?โ€ (PDF), Presentation at Ohio State University May 16, 2008.

Their second paper was published in Geophysical Research Letters after an unsuccessful process of trying to publish in the highly-regarded journal Nature. The first paper received very little attention outside of climate skeptic circles, and the GRL paper made a minor correction to what was, by then, peripheral to climate science. However, a high-level PR campaign helped place M&M on the front-page in the National Post followed by a front page story in the Wall Street Journal.104 James Cowan. โ€œCanadians find flaw in Kyoto โ€™hockey stickโ€™ Global warming debate,โ€ National Post, January 27, 2005.

The original hockey-stick analysis was published in the leading science journal Nature (1998, 392, pp. 779-787) and plotted reconstructed mean temperature variations in the Northern Hemisphere since 1400. The original study found significant temperature increases which are what gives the graph its distinctive shape. The lead author, Michal E. Mann, is the director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University. Subsequent researchers have yielded similar โ€œhockey-stickโ€ results, but skeptics including McIntyre continue to attack the research.

As a result of the Energy and Environment paper, McIntyre was flown to Washington, D.C. from Canada to brief U.S. Business leaders and the staff of Senator James Inhofe, chair of the committee on Environment and Public works and a notable climate change skeptic. He also later presented his findings to the Marshall Institute, an organization with ties to the oil industry and whose board of directors includes William O’Keefe, a registered lobbyist for ExxonMobil.
