CRU is now a candidate for publication in the Journal of Irreproducible Results

Posted on July 7, 2011 by Anthony Watts

From Andrew Orlowski, the Register UK:

In Parliament’s enquiries into the Climategate Affair, Graham Stringer MP was surprised to learn that the CRU team couldn’t produce the same result twice.

“When I asked Oxburgh if [Keith] Briffa [CRU academic] could reproduce his own results, he said in lots of cases he couldn’t,” Stringer told us. “That just isn’t science. It’s literature. If somebody can’t reproduce their own results, and nobody else can, then what is that work doing in the scientific journals?”


Full story (well worth the read, please support the online advertiser driven Register by visiting) here (h/t to WUWT reader “Rational Debate”).

In case you’ve never seen it, the Journal of Irreproducible Results actually exists, and can be found here. They have an interesting book, Extreme Weather as it is linked to “global warming”.

>> the Prius Plug-in goes 13 miles in electric mode,

People are NOT going to plug in a car overnight for 13 miles. Period, end of story. They are not going to do it.
