Trees rings were reliable for thousands of years, but (like everyone else) they quit doing their job properly in the 1960s. Fortunately, we have conscientious climate scientists like Michael Mann to show the trees what they should have been doing.

Not to be outdone at hiding the decline, Hansen and USHCN showed that they could alter the data in-situ, when they turned a US cooling trend into a warming trend. This appears to be a superior approach to Mann’s grafting on a different data set.

Honorable mention goes to IPCC – which grafted altimetry sea level data on to tide gauge data – to show an increase in sea level rise rates. Apparently tide gauges also went on strike in 1994.

The scriptures of the IPCC must not be questioned

We’re in a period that is really terrifying because a great number of the global warming skeptics are basically undermining the science. They’re saying, “These scientists have their own agenda, “climategate,” all this other stuff. You can’t trust science.” If we’re at a point where we can’t even trust science, we’re in deep trouble because then you say the Koran says this, the Bible says this, …….
