You do not need to go any further than the very first Figure. The red curve is supposed to be solar activity [inverse 14C] and the gray bands solar minima. It is clear they don’t line up. Check for instance the dip of the red curve and the absence of a gray band and the high temperature around the year 1000. The rest is as bad.

... In addition, Anders...From Inhofe's report:<br /><br /><i>... In addition, Anderson wrote, “they attempted to take action against editors and journals that published the work of their rivals.”<br />Possibly the most egregious example of such behavior occurred in reaction to a paper published in the journal Climate Research in 2003. The paper posed a serious challenge to the conclusion reached in the so-called “hockey stick” temperature reconstruction by Professors Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley, and Malcolm Hughes. The hockey stick graph, which was featured prominently in the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report in 2001, supported the conclusion that the 1990s, and 1998, were likely the warmest decade, and the warmest year, respectively, in at least a millennium. Dr. Sallie Balunias and Dr. Willie Soon, researchers at the Harvard- Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, contested this conclusion, and many of the scientists in this scandal savaged them for doing so.</i><br /><br />Not surprisingly, Inhofe doesn't mention that the Soon & Baliunas study (partly funded by the American Petroleum Institute) was so flawed that half of the editorial board of Climate Research resigned in protest when it was published. <br /><br />And how did Inhofe himself react to the study? He talked a lot about it in the senate. Among other things <a href="http://inhofe.senate.gov/pressreleases/climate.htm" rel="nofollow">he said</a>:<br /><br /><i>I must say, to any reasonable person, these ratios appear very convincing, and undoubtedly rest on a solid scientific foundation. Again, remember, the conclusions of this study are based on 240 peer-reviewed studies, and this chart here shows what the Harvard-Smithsonian researchers concluded. <br /><br />Peer review means they were rigorously reviewed and critiqued by other scientists before they were published. This climate study, published in March of 2003, is the most comprehensive of its kind in history.</i><br /><br />Yes, that is what Inhofe really does with politically corrupted science: he embraces it.Lars Karlssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158469980966810882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-33165045114480630012010-02-26T09:21:17.154-05:002010-02-26T09:21:17.154-05:00A friend of mine across the pond recently drew my ...A friend of mine across the pond recently drew my attention to a massive organised day of action for health care reform in the USA.

He completely and utterly misunderstood what the paper said, and remained stubborn in the stance until his position became so obviously untenable that he withdrew. At least he did withdraw in the end, I guess.<br /><br />But what got me was, on accepting his error, he said something about that being science in action. No, it wasn't.

This is a hint of what might happen. Although he cannot get the Justice Department to bring prosecutions, he can make life very unpleasant for the scientists on his little list should the worst come to pass in the US elections.
