Regarding the Hockey Stick of IPCC 2001 evidence now indicates,
in my view, that an IPCC Lead Author working with a small cohort of scientists, misrepresented the temperature record of the past 1000 years by (a) promoting his own result as the best estimate, (b) neglecting studies that contradicted his, and (c) amputating another's result so as to eliminate conflicting
data and limit any serious attempt to
expose the real
uncertainties of these
data.
