This research received wide attention, in part because it was illustrated with a simple graphic, the so -
called hockey stick curve, that many interpreted as definitive evidence of anthropogenic causes of recent climate change.
The growth rate for ETFs on both sides of the border resembles the
classic hockey stick curve, and is just starting in Canada, Nadig said.
The man behind
the hockey stick curve, Professor Michael Mann wrote, among other things, in an email to Phil Jones, the head of the University of East Anglia Climate Centre, that «Von Storch is a strange guy», and that it would not surprise him if he was really a climate skeptic.
And I quickly found myself at the center of attacks by climate change critics looking to discredit
the hockey stick curve as a way of supposedly discrediting the case for concern over climate change.
MICHAEL MANN: Well I used to be one of those scientists, frankly, and back in the late 1990s, my co-authors and I published
the hockey stick curve, and it became an icon in the climate change debate.
And for good measure Turnbull also rounds on
the Hockey Stick curve, as did GWPF Briefing Paper No3.
So
that hockey stick curve projection... is almost entirely done by comparing current revenues vs. their start - up years.
