Leading UK Climate Scientists Must Explain or Resign

Just as a little into before I give you the intro from the post from Watts Up With That?, note this bit: "While Realclimate.org continues deleting the ongoing river of comments posted on their threads" This is absolutely typical behaviour for climate alarmist websites and blogs - no contrary or inconvenient opinion is allowed, and comments deemed to be too troubling, no matter how soundly argued or politely expressed, very often never see the light of day. They are always filtered through a moderator and he or she simply refuses to authorise any that contradict the "party line." If you are just joining us, first you should read about what started it all here. While Realclimate.org continues deleting the ongoing river of comments posted on their threads ( Note: Any of you who find that your posts to those sites are being rejected {as usual without any explanation} can keep a copy of the post, and post it at http://rcrejects.wordpress.com if you want. Keep those screencaps going folks) asking about the McIntyre Yamal data development, Jennifer Marohasy of Australia is drawing a bit of a line in the sand. Given the churlishness of the Team and the blockades put up by Hadley, I can’t say that I blame her stance. – Anthony Leading UK Climate Scientists Must Explain or Resign By Jennifer Marohasy MOST scientific sceptics have been dismissive of the various reconstructions of temperature which suggest 1998 is the warmest year of the past millennium.    Our case has been significantly bolstered over the last week with statistician Steve McIntyre finally getting access to data used by Keith Briffa,  Tim Osborn  and Phil Jones to support the idea that there has been an unprecedented upswing in temperatures over the last hundred years –  the infamous hockey stick graph. Mr McIntyre’s analysis of the data – which he had been asking for since 2003 – suggests that scientists at the Climate Research Unit of the United Kingdom’s Bureau of Meteorology  have been using only a small subset of the available data to make their claims that recent years have been the hottest of the last millennium.   When the entire data set is used, Mr McIntyre claims that the hockey stick shape disappears completely.
