The Briffa temperature graphs have been widely cited as evidence by the IPCC, yet it appears they were based on a very carefully selected set of data, so select, that the shape of the graph would have been totally transformed if the rest of the data had been included.
Kieth Briffa used 12 samples to arrive at his version of the hockey stick and refused to provide his data for years. When McIntyre finally got hold of it, and looked at the 34 samples that Briffa left out of his graphs, a stark message was displayed. McIntyre describes it today as one of the most disquieting images he’s ever presented.
Here is the image in question:
Not only does the cherry picking of data to use look bad, but researchers had been denied access to the data for years making any independent assessment of the original findings impossible to carry out. (Yeah, that sounds like science. /eye roll)
Here is QandO's take:
I call it the “great unraveling”. The hoax is coming unglued. And this shameful conduct will set real science back 100 years.
The question is, will the politicians see it before it is too late? Will the administration which promised that science would again take the forefront actually keep its word and ensure that happens? Methinks we’re going to find out that a political agenda and ideology are much more powerful than science. Science, quite honestly, is only useful to politicians – any politician – as long as it advances their agenda. If it doesn’t then the politician will claim it to be false science – regardless of how overwhelming the evidence is to the contrary.
Remember, this now discredited "data" was a main pillar of the IPCC climate change report that is being used to justify the alarmist ideological agenda. This behavior is shameful, and it is time for the scientific community to step forward and correct the record. After all, it was their negligence that has been causing the problems in the first place.
