Well lying neolib AKA ear2earfeces, you can babble on about what about this and what about that. But in Page 6 the testimony is clear as to the meaning or clean and compelling math ignorance and process ignorance of Mann all his peers who by accepting his garbage proved their own stupidity... And yes Mann and associates are not really accused of being lying sacks of shit. that is arena of cowards who post anonymously. The common English word for that is neolib. energycommerce.house.gov page 6 onto 7 It is not clear that Mann and associates realized the error in their methodology at the time of publication. Our re-creation supports the critique of the MBH98 methods. In general, we found the writing in MBH98 and MBH99 to be somewhat obscure and incomplete and the criticisms by MM03/05a/05b to be valid. The reasons for setting 1902-1995 as the calibration period presented in the narrative of MBH98 sounds plausible, and the error may be easily overlooked by someone not trained in statistical methodology. We note that there is no evidence that Dr. Mann or any of the other authors in paleoclimate studies have had significant interactions with mainstream statisticians. Because of this apparent isolation, we decided to attempt to understand the paleoclimate community by exploring the social network of authorships in temperature reconstruction. [Go to Figure 6] We found that at least 43 authors have direct ties to Dr. Mann by virtue of coauthored papers with him. Our findings from this analysis suggest that authors in the area of this relatively narrow field of paleoclimate studies are closely connected. Dr. Mann has an unusually large reach in terms of influence and in particular Drs. Jones, Bradley, Hughes, Briffa, Rutherford and Osborn.
