This climategate E-mail from 2009 sums up the state of the hockey team. They are completely incompetent, unwilling to listen to any real scientists, and on a mission to destroy any accurate reporting about climate by the press.

Any of you want to explain decadal natural variability and signal to noise and sampling errors to this new “IPCC Lead Author” from the BBC? As we enter an El Nino year and as soon, as the sunspots get over their temporary–presumed–vacation worth a few tenths of a Watt per meter squared reduced forcing, there will likely be another dramatic upward spike like 1992-2000. I heard someone–Mike Schlesinger maybe??–was willing to bet a lot of money on it happening in next 5 years?? Meanwhile the past 10 years of global mean temperature trend stasis still saw what, 9 of the warmest in reconstructed 1000 year record and Greenland and the sea ice of the North in big retreat?? Some of you observational folks probably do need to straighten this out as my student suggests below. Such “fun”, Cheers,
Steve

Steve,
You may be aware of this already. Paul Hudson, BBC’s reporter on climate change, on Friday wrote that there’s been no warming since 1998, and that pacific oscillations will force cooling for the next 20-30 years. It is not outrageously biased in presentation as are other skeptics’ views.[5]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8299079.stm
[6]http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/??? /the-bbcs-amazing-u-turn-on-climate-change/BBC has significant influence on public opinion outside the US.
Do you think this merits an op-ed response in the BBC from a scientist?Narasimha
The BBC article they are condemning was one of the few accurate climate articles the BBC has ever written. And the 1992-2000 warming spike Schneider is referring to, was just the recovery from Pinatubo. He apparently knew nothing about the climate.
