Except for his 1994 update, Professor Jones tended to publish with many co-authors. I see that the BBC says, Phil Jones, the professor behind the “Climategate” affair, has admitted some of his decades-old weather data was not well enough organised. Well, I am asking myself, what about all these co-authors, presumably some of them worked … Continue reading What about the Jones et al co-authors ?
Over at the matchless blog Wattsupwiththat: Look for two comments by Mohib (21:33:01) on 1st Feb – I thought Mohib’s questions were important enough to try and explain the history . Jones et al 1986 did indeed reject 38 stations from their Northern Hemisphere study. Note UHI not actually mentioned in the 1986 Table 1 … Continue reading Some essential history of IPCC global warming from 20 years ago.
While experimenting with BoM raw Canberra Airport data I was surprised to find the UKMO have corrected the data here and there. It is noteworthy that Jones et al 1986 rejected Canberra (WMO 949260) with an 80 code which translates as “Non-homogenous and uncorrectable” – after comparing it with Sydney.

While discussing Darwin data I was pointed to this file master.dat.com in the FOIA(leaked ClimateGate file) documents folders. I was amazed to find the 14MB file is in fact the Jones et al 1999 station data – another gem from FOIA. So this is a considerable step forward in our uncovering of Jones et al … Continue reading Hide the decline – new Jones station data file from 1999

IEA analysts say climatologists use the data of stations … Continue reading Russians now saying what I have said for years
Article by Alan Moran pointing out that the behaviour of pro IPCC scientists as revealed in the Climategate emails, is nothing new. There is much to tell about the BoM of the early 1990’s. The Balling, Idso and Hughes. 1992 paper “Long-Term and Recent Anomalous Temperature Changes in Australia.” – referred to in the ABC … Continue reading Some rare balance on the taxpayer funded ABC for a change
Yesterday the Liberal Party elected luke warm climate sceptic Tony Abbott to be its leader by one vote over the incumbent Malcolm Turnbull. Andrew Bolt has an informative commentary. There is also this great article from Jo Nova. But I am not convinced ClimateGate played much part in this.
