CRU Hackery Update; Dr. Jones Explains his "Hide the Decline" Email

It was getting a little hot in the other comments (get it? getting hot? thanks, I'm here all week), so I'm putting this here.

TGIF Edition (PDF) spoke with Dr. Phil Jones, the researcher who wrote about attempting to fit data to "hide the decline." Here's his explanation:

“In the sense that they’re talking about two different things here. They’re talking about the instrumental data which is unaltered – but they’re talking about proxy data going further back in time, a thousand years, and it’s just about how you add on the last few years, because when you get proxy data you sample things like tree rings and ice cores, and they don’t always have the last few years. So one way is to add on the instrumental data for the last few years.”

Jones told TGIF he had no idea what me meant by using the words “hide the decline”.

“That was an email from ten years ago. Can you remember the exact context of what you wrote ten years ago?”

Uh huh. Speculate, doctor. What do you think you meant when you wrote that you had "just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline." What decline could you possibly be talking about?

Keep in mind that when Jones wrote that in 1999 we hadn't had a decade of global cooling yet. So perhaps he was obscuring a decline in the warming trend?

3 I was late to the game in the other thread. 

A couple of things:

1.  When the leaks are validated, they need to be hung like a burning tire around the necks of every dickweed who ever pushed AGW.  They deserve merciless teasing and bullying at least until they remove themselves from public life.  The best outcome is they each cobain themselves a steaming hot cup of lead shot.

2.  The underlying enabler for this level of fraud is that government-funded research long ago turned the corner from being appropriation of scarce resources to address known problems to a guaranteed stream of money in search of problems to address.  This is a natural consequence of automatically carrying funding levels from year to year.

8 Keep in mind that when Jones wrote that in 1999 we hadn't had a decade of global cooling yet.

He is likely talking about the "divergence" problem, where those supposedly accurate temperature proxies like tree-ring-widths suddenly started diverging from the actual temperature later in the 20th century.

Climateaudit has numerous posts on the subject, chronicling a horror show of evasion and obfuscation from these duplicitous lying f*cks.

It's disgusting that these people pretend to be engaged in science.

9 The oddest aspect of this whole global warming scam is that the data that the global warming fools love the most - the Vostok Ice Core temp estimates - shows the situation quite clearly (in geological terms), shows that CO2 lags climate, and that we are at a natural peak, for which localised (in geological time scales) climate variability is naturally high.  It also shows how the Earth looks to be heading into an unbelievable cooling period - insane cooling - over the next few thousand years.  For all of the early global warming debates I used to love to point people to the Vostok Core data.

Dr. Phil Jones is the same guy who when asked to get a copy of the raw data he used to show warming, responded with.

We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it.

Re: 'The Decline'

The Mann, Bradley, Hughes 1998 paper purported to reproduce the global temperature curve for the millenium using a number of tree-ring composites as a proxy.  They refused to release their data or statistical protocol.

McKitrick and McIntyre(Climate Audit) managed to track down the bulk of the data and deconstruct the statistical procedure(sic).  They found the technique produced a hockey stick at the end regardless of the data input, even 'white noise' suffficed. 

The data to input, tree-ring widths, effectively ended with some of the series terminating in 1980.  After that date, current temperature measurements were intended to be appended in situ.

A telling criticism levelled was that this curve diverged from the temperatures being measured,  the reality was in decline in comparison with the 'model'.  The reconstruction worked too well, in a manner of speaking.

"Keep in mind that when Jones wrote that in 1999 we hadn't had a decade of global cooling yet. So perhaps he was obscuring a decline in the warming trend?"

So they've been fudging the data for over ten years. No wonder they wouldn't post the computer models' code or raw data for peer review.

Somebody needs to tally up the total global cost of this hoax.

28 Understand that temperature data is always "adjusted", how and why, well that is not for the great unwashed to know.... maybe until now.  But you can see for yourself that the raw data prior to 1970 is always adjusted down, the data from after 1970 adjusted up so it appears we are warming much faster than the actual data says.  Here is a graph showing this.

40 This is a quote from the file "jones-foiathoughts." Keep in mind that the actual decision Jones ultimately makes is: He claimed the dog ate his freaking homework.

"Options appear to be:

Send them the data
Send them a subset removing station data from some of the countries who made us pay in the normals papers of Hulme et al. (1990s) and also any number that David can remember. This should also omit some other countries like (Australia, NZ, Canada, Antarctica). Also could extract some of the sources that Anders added in (31-38 source codes in J&M 2003). Also should remove many of the early stations that we coded up in the 1980s.
Send them the raw data as is, by reconstructing it from GHCN. How could this be done? Replace all stations where the WMO ID agrees with what is in GHCN. This would be the raw data, but it would annoy them.
"

Hi, our plan to respond to the FOIA is make sure it is the most irritating fashion possible. The actual response he used is "The data is, sadly, lost to history." Witness your first option you slimy non-scientist!

Everybody get ready!

The next line of BullShit coming down the Pike is........

Because the Mean Global Temperature is cooling, it proves that Carbon Based Global Climate Change is happending. They are going to try to prove that the Northern Hemisphere had a period of unusual warming, which in turn is causing a phenomenon in the oceans which actually makes the Earth's Surface and Mid-Atmosphere Temperature to Cool. (Refer to the movie "Day after Tomorrow")

Pretty soon they are going to get it figured out so that they can make the same argument without ever having to refer to Temperature data or CO2 data.

Anyone remember the early 70's when we everybody had a hissy-fit about Nuclear Power. Apparently the Earth judges the USoA, because we ended all of our Nuclear Power ambitions, and the rest of the world expanded theirs, and the LibTards didn't even raise eyebrow about it.

52 If you go back 1000 years that puts you smack in the middle of the medieval warming period (800-1300). Starting at 1000 he would see 300 years of steady maybe slightly cooling temps then a time of serious cooling until 1850 (nest 550 years). Since 1850 there has been a slight trend upwards until 1998. There has been no warming for 11 years. He was probably hiding the decline in the rise in temperatures because if their premise were correct increased carbon would have pushed the temp up at an increasingly steady rate.

But of course. It's the same old song we hear over and over again: when leaks that damage conservatives or conservative causes occur, the media attention is focused on whatever is in the content of the leaks. But when leaks damaging to liberals or liberal causes occur, the focus of the story will be on the impropriety or ethics of leaking, or how should leakers by punished.

All leaks are not equal.

87 what will the epa, state emmissions and such do?

The Supreme Court ruled on April 2, 2007 in Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency that the EPA has the authority to regulate the emission of greenhouse gases in automobile emissions, stating that "greenhouse gases fit well within the Clean Air Act capacious definition of air pollutant." The court also stated that the EPA must regulate in this area unless it is able to provide a scientific reason for not doing so.[26]

Jason K. Burnett, former EPA deputy associate administrator, told the United States Congress that an official from Vice President Dick Cheney's office censored congressional testimony by Julie L. Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[27] Reportedly, the testimony excluded said that "CDC considers climate change a serious public health concern."[27]

From National Review Online, Sept 23 2009:

So the weather data that go into the historical climate records that are required to verify models of global warming aren’t the original records at all. Jones and Wigley, however, weren’t specific about what was done to which station in order to produce their record, which, according to the IPCC, showed a warming of 0.6° +/– 0.2°C in the 20th century.

Now begins the fun. Warwick Hughes, an Australian scientist, wondered where that “+/–” came from, so he politely wrote Phil Jones in early 2005, asking for the original data. Jones’s response to a fellow scientist attempting to replicate his work was, “We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?”

At my college we ran FORTRAN on punch cards on an RCA mainframe.  No passwords, only a JOB card with a name (could be any name) on it.  The operators used to piss us off by waiting (sometimes for hours) until there were a large number of FORTRAN jobs to run while running COBOL jobs on demand for the business pukes.  Fortunately we had a plan- the RCA FORTRAN compiler had a bug in the 'ARCCOS' function that would crash the operating system requiring a tedious reload.  The computer center walls were covered with warnings to not use the ARCCOS function.

So we wrote a one line program:  Y=ARCCOS(0)  and submitted it under a JOB card with the innocent pseudonym "Dick Burns"- and waited.  Sure enough the operator runs the pile of FORTRAN jobs, the OS halts, the operator- mad as hell- rifles through the stack of JOB cards until he finds the offending one and then turns to the entire computer center and yells:

"ALL RIGHT, WHO'S DICK BURNS!?!?!?"

As a recovering academic this is really just a delightful treasure trove of documents.  For years McIntyre has been pushing to see raw data and the modeling software source code from this cabal and they have refused.  Now we REALLY know why.  These individuals may be mathematical, climatological geniuses, but they do not follow even the most basic software development and database management practices. 

For really, really important software we use formal development processes that result in mathematically proven software.  For AlGore's anti-scientists, they think they know their software is working correctly if the output looks plausible, and for them plausible is a hockey-stick.

The article and the person who dropped it both declared 'The science is in, there is no global cooling.'
Of course the idea was to stop the global warming deniers before they got too much info on their side.
So I went to war with a ton of people on the site - through a comments section like this one. I was ridiculed in all kinds of ways - the rage they had for me - unbelievable. How DARE I tell them global warming was a crock - and that it was pseudoscience driven by greed, profit and lust for control.
Fortunately, I had a few supporters. But I got my point out there as they fought over this for a few days in total.

149 BTW: I noticed at least one question in the thread about use of "proxy" data.

Proxy data is how scientists learned about the ice ages that have occurred over the last million years or so. (I am not using a scientific number here, like Al "millions of degrees" Gore, I'm just using a large number because I know they have traced several ice ages, and each of them are about 100,000 years apart (give or take a few tens of thousands of years). I don't know how many years back the data is useful. It's a lot.

Proxy data is about as universally "agreed on" by climate scientists as it gets in that field, and such things as ice cores, tree rings, layers of certain elements in the soil, transported materials (stuff that glaciers pushed around), etc., all serve as hard data to track ancient climate. In other words, ice ages happened, and no one can say with any certainty that they will not happen again.

This article by David Deming of the U. of Oklahoma shows exactly why AGW is such a tough sell, especially now that its proponents have had their "data" exposed.

153 @149:

This issue is: There's proxy data, and then there's proxy data.

Michael Mann's method is to throw anything that might possibly be a proxy into a pot, and see what lines up with the (fudged!) HADCrut temperature records. And "clipping" sections from lots of potential proxies to essentially improve their rankings. "Oh, well, it sucked in 1960-1980, so we'll crop that part and see if it was a good proxy everywhere but that one part where it sucked hard."

This works fine in one aspect - you will indeed find things that do line up with with current temperature trends. But the fundamental assumption here is that those same proxies actually work when extended into history. And it is basically unreasonable. Trees that are precisely at the treeline do indeed make pretty reasonable short term thermometers.

But treelines freaking move. And so these same trees weren't on a treeline 200 years ago. Or 400. Or whatever.

They can be a decent proxy for -current- temperatures, while simultaneously completely sucking at being a proxy for historical temperatures.

There are emails from other basically highlighting the non-proxy nature littered through this FOIA dump. This is freaking outrageous.

???!!

To those who actually understand the science, Dr Jones was very obviously talking about the tree ring data becoming unreliable after around 1960 - a known problem which CRU scientists THEMSELVES have previously highlighted in their published work (so much for the "conspiracy"!)

The "trick" is to supplement the tree ring data with other, more reliable data from alternative sources to erase ("hide") a well-known margin of ERROR!

To repeat, Dr Jones is emphatically NOT talking about an actual decline in global temperature which he, or anyone else in his field, is trying to cover up. His comments are clearly being taken out of context and deliberately misrepresented to the public. If this is the best you can find out of several thousands emails dating way back to 1996...well...

Independent bodies (i.e. bodies not affiliated with each other, or colluding in any way whatsoever) throughout the world - using very different methods - all confirm the warming trend. There's absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing here, still less outright fraud.

There is, however, plenty of evidence of nefarious private interest groups going to criminal lengths to wilfully distort and undermine scientific findings, as well as smear and vilify honest scientists. Disgusting.

Regards,

P.
