Hansen's research also omits more recent studies of ice core samples, lake bottom samples, and
tree ring studies all showing a natural cyclical occurrence the Earth has seen many times before.

The
study used 7284 oak samples from France and Germany to see how moisture
showed up in
tree rings and nearly 1500 different stone pine and larch samples from high altitudes in Austria to establish a separate temperature record.
Re: # 26, «Would someone please address Steve McIntyre's assertion that none of these
studies show late 20th century warming, unless they include a few controversial
tree ring data sets?»
Tree ring studies at Schunya River, Khadyta River, Nadim River and Jahak also
show the divergence since mid-century.

Would someone please address Steve McIntyre's assertion that none of these
studies show late 20th century warming, unless they include a few controversial
tree ring data sets?
In fact there's a real contraversy going on with high latitude
studies where a third of the
trees show positive correlation of
ring width to temperature and another third
show negative correlation... the rest
showing no correlation at all.
Their findings match a separate team's
study earlier this year that used satellite imagery and
tree rings to also
show that
trees in this region are growing faster, but that survey extended only to 1982.
In this
study,
tree ring series were selected for model development that extended into the 1990s (more recent than in past
studies) and only sites
showing a strong temperature response at the local scale were chosen.
«
Show your working» suggests providing insight into the statistical processes involved and is no substitute for providing access to the original data, for instance photographs of the
tree -
rings measured in just 12
trees from Siberia that provided the foundation for Jones»
study.
As seen in their graph, Greenland temperatures
show a more cyclical nature with more warmth in the 30s and 40s and in agreement with most
tree ring studies.
These comparisons
show no evidence that the possible biases inherent to
tree -
ring (alone) based
studies impair in any significant way the multiproxy - based temperature pattern reconstructions discussed here.
We have also verified that possible low - frequency bias due to non-climatic influences on dendroclimatic (
tree -
ring) indicators is not problematic in our temperature reconstructions... Whether we use all data, exclude
tree rings, or base a reconstruction only on
tree rings, has no significant effect on the form of the reconstruction for the period in question... These comparisons
show no evidence that the possible biases inherent to
tree -
ring (alone) based
studies impair in any significant way the multiproxy - based temperature pattern reconstructions discussed here.

Paleo - ecological
studies (
tree rings and sediment
studies)
show centennial cycles of ENSO intensity correlating with, for example, the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age — thus implying a link with solar magnetic cycles.
Tree ring studies from oak
trees show that «the temperature 100 year before Christ indeed rose.
If you think
tree ring studies are relevant,
show the
tree ring studies, even those that don't match your narrative.
The graph from the JG / U
tree ring study along with a new
tree ring study that just came out
show that prior to the Dalton minimum in 1790 there was a 30 year near record setting heat.
However,
studies of paleoclimate proxies, such as
tree rings and ice cores, have
shown that oscillations similar to those observed instrumentally have been occurring for at least the last millennium.
The data you
showed me has a warming of ~ 0.7 degrees Celsius since 1880 but is there any justification for the IPCC's (Copenhagen Diagnosis) prediction of a 2 - 7 degree Celsius rise by 2100, other than
studies that use
tree ring proxies?
Maybe we can accommodate from a few, very few stands of
trees, a
tree ring proxy
study that
shows a 1000 year past of low variability and a recent «hockey stick warm - surge but other than that, jest focus on the present.
Results of this
study without
tree -
ring data
show that for the Northern Hemisphere, the last 10 years are likely unusually warm for not just the past 1,000 as reported in the 1990s paper and others, but for at least another 300 years going back to about A.D. 700 without using
tree -
ring data.
Yet the data for MANY of the
tree -
ring studies that include the post-1940 period DO
show it.
Global Loehle (2007): http://www.ncasi.org/publications/Detail.aspx?id=3025 In this
study, eighteen 2000 - year - long series were obtained that were not based on
tree ring data... The mean series
shows the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and Little Ice Age (LIA) quite clearly, with the MWP being approximately 0.3 °C warmer than 20th century values at these eighteen sites.
So Mann et al quickly followed that up with another
study which
showed that with or without
tree rings, the anomalies are dwarfed by the recent T rise.
Locations of proxy records with data back to AD 1000, 1500 and 1750 (instrumental: red thermometers;
tree ring: brown triangles; borehole: black circles; ice core / ice borehole: blue stars; other including low - resolution records: purple squares) that have been used to reconstruct NH or SH temperatures by
studies shown in Figure 6.10 (see Table 6.1, excluding O2005) or used to indicate SH regional temperatures (Figure 6.12).
Craig Loehle did a
study in 2007 which excluded
tree rings, and interestingly,
shows strong anomalies for the LIA and MWP.
Is there anywhere a basic
study that
shows that
tree ring density or
tree ring widths have a high correlation with temperature?
In 1580 — when Englishman Sir Francis Drake surveyed the West Coast —
tree -
ring studies of Sequoias in the Sierra
show that next to no rainfall fell that winter, said B. Lynn Ingram, a paleoclimatologist at the University of California, Berkeley.
