I never noticed this, but once Steve Goddard pointed it out, it was obvious. In his 1997 paper, Keith Briffa said he didn't understand why his tree-ring reconstructions, which had previously tracked well with temperature, diverged suddenly around 1960.
He ascribed the changed to some as yet unknown anthropogenic influence. He was right. There was indeed a man-made influence: James Hansen et al at NASA and NOAA. If Briffa had used the National Academy of Sciences data from 1975, before Hansen...
He could have done this...
And made a much better case for the soundness of his work. But he used data from the Hockey Team, which was busy "hiding the decline" to make themselves the gods of every-year-is-the-hottest-ever science policy, altereing the data, cooling the past and warming the present...
The other irony is that the non-existent divergence is what prompted "Mike's Nature Trick." But then Keith had his own trick--just delete adverse data...
So, fuck 'em all. As Goddard said, they have destroyed an entire science.

They have gone past destroying an entire science and have gone and made it into a religion.
Their behavior is nothing short of obscene!
They should all be banned from Science - except as the subject of "scientific experiments", of course!
Bwahahaha.
I fucking hate hockey. Which, by the way, is an indictable offence here in The Canadas.
Aquarian, it seems that hating hockey in Canada is about as bad as not even caring about football (the American kind) in Texas or Oklahoma.
Dearest Ogrrre,
You are indeed correct. Will they refuse to serve you in coffee shops in Texas if you profess a nonchalance concerning that sportsball thingy, American Football? Here in the frozen wasteland of Soviet Canuckistan, if you even look like you dislike hockey, and I do 'cause of my elite Asianess, you are spat upon. I wear a button on my coat which depicts the conflated logos of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens as the Toronto Canadiens and the Montreal Maple Leafs(1). It's utter blasphemy, but at least the servers don't spit in my coffee for not living for hockey like all good Canuck-fucks.
(1) I imagine this would be tantamount to wearing a button with the Fleur de Lis of the Who Dat Taints but the words Atlanta Falcons written over and under it. Then again, this might get you shot in The French Quarter in NOLA.
ALTC, leave Hockey to the people in Canuckistan!
First off, let me state for the record, Michael Mann's "hockey
stick graph is the most amateurish
piece of shit I have ever seen.
Reading tree rings is equivalent to reading Tarot cards. It does not mean shit!
Mann produced a chart in which the average global temperature from
the year 1,000 to present results
in a graph that looks like a
hockey stick.
You are led to believe that the line was as straight as an arrow
until the later part of the 20th century. He ignores the Little
Ice Age altogether, and gave us a chart with .1 degree C increments.
From his own graph, the temp was -.7 to +.7 degree C. I am
supposed to piss my pants over a change of 1.4 degree C over 1,000
years?
Forget that that the actual measured temps. looks more like
this:

This video shows a -5 to +5 degree C scale. The business end of the
hockey stick would disappear if it was set to a one degree scale.
It would be like typing 999 periods and one colon. Then draw
a line between the 970th to the dot on the top of the colon.
Are you fucking kidding me? This is not science. A 1 or 1.4 degree
C variation can be explained by fucking measurement error!
I am hoping the prick files a defamation suit against me. I am
not a scientist, and I have neither a pot to piss in or a
window to throw it out of. What is more, I am a lousy public
speaker.
But using logic alone, I will stomp his ass like a Narc at a
biker rally!
When you lost the founder of Green Piss, you know the jig is up. I know AGW is still profitable, but once the torches and pitchforks come out, they'll regret sticking around. Time to move on, maybe pass off a fraudulent new cancer treatment or invent a new fad diet.

"The most recent climate model simulations used in the AR5 indicate that the warming stagnation since 1998 is no longer consistent with model projections even at the 2% confidence level."
