"Quote:
This video actually shows the interpretation of a graph by CO2 Science in some detail:
"Why would anyone want to use proxy measurements instead of direct measurements when the direct measurements are available?"

How did your BS meter miss that? Maybe you could defend the CO2 Science interpretations since Snowy clearly gas not been willing to attempt to do so."

Wayne, I see we crossed posts.

You tactfully avoid the question. The video shows a number of different reconstructions with thermometer data pasted on the end of the reconstructions. I interpret that as more for illustrative purposes. But, please do explain, in your own words, how that has any validity in drawing the conclusion that the CWP is warmer than the MWP? You say, 'Why would anyone want to use proxy measurements if direct measurements are available?' The reconstructions start with proxy data and should end with proxy data. If we had thermometer data 1000 years ago, I'm sure we would compare it to thermometer data today. But we don't, so please explain to me why anybody would compare apples to oranges and be taken seriously? These are different data sets with different precision and granularity, but presented and interpreted as one. As a scientist, you should know better and you wouldn't accept such sloppy arguments from skeptics.

Will I have to ask you again?

I've kept tabs on the wattsup site for some monthes. I take everything brought up there with about 5 pounds of salt.

The wottsupwiththat grants some insight into what's going on there for those who are wondering...

Post subject:  Re: Gergis et. al 2012: The Latest Broken Hockey Stick

Ock The question is is can we prove that globally the MWP was warmer than CWP ?

You appear to be claiming that lack of proof means that it must have been warmer during the MWP by invoking the null hypothesis.

It is probable that today is globally warmer than the MWP

By the way, the Gergis et al. paper has been retracted because of errors found within the dataset by skeptics. Kudos to McIntyre and skepticism in general.

I disagree that the data doesn't line up with each other. The MWP is showing up at around 1000 AD on one of your charts, wheras on another it has shown up from 1050 AD-1300 AD. Assuming that there is room for error with these proxies (which there always is) then they don't disagree with each other as much as you claim they do.

The corresponding
95% confidence intervals have widths of 0.6 (two millennia
long reconstruction) and 0.4 C (500-yr long reconstruction)
for 50-yr smoothed values, thereby showing
that the residual noise-variance is relatively small compared
to the reconstructed low-frequency signal.
Our main conclusions are as follows.
– Our reconstructions indicate – in agreement with the
results of Moberg et al. (2005); Ljungqvist (2010), and
Loehle and McCulloch (2008) – that the first millennium
AD was generally significantly warmer than the
second millennium AD. The 17th century was the coldest
century during the last two millennia and most of
the LIA seems to have been colder than during the Dark
Age Cold Period ca. 300–800 AD. In general, our LOC
reconstructions show larger low-frequency variability
than previous reconstructions.
– Our two-millennia long reconstruction has a well defined
peak in the period 950–1050AD with a maximum
temperature anomaly of 0.6 C. The timing of
the peak of the MWP in our reconstruction is in agreement
with the reconstructions of Esper et al. (2002a)
and Ljungqvist (2010). The reconstructions of
Mann et al. (2008, 2009) show a longer peak warming
covering the whole period 950–1100 AD, and the reconstruction
of Moberg et al. (2005) shows a somewhat
later as well as longer peak MWP warming than in the
present paper. The level of warmth during the peak
of the MWP in the second half of the 10th century,
equalling or slightly exceeding the mid-20th century
warming, is in agreement with the results from other
more recent large-scale multi-proxy temperature reconstructions
by Moberg et al. (2005), Mann et al. (2008,
2009), Ljungqvist (2010), and Ljungqvist et al. (2012).
