  My point was that he refuted the statistics.  

      Ian Jolliffe, a noted principal components authority, has posted a comment at Tamino's, which repudiates Tamino's (and Mann's) citation of Jolliffe as a supposed authority for Mannian PCA. He wrote to me separately, notifying me of the posting and authorizing me to cross-post his comment and stating that we had correctly understood and described his comments in our response here: :

          [Jolliffe quote]
          I looked at the reference you made to my presentation at http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/MM-W05-backgrou ... after I drafted my contribution and I can see that you actually read the presentation. You have accurately reflected my views there, but I
          guess it's better to have it `from the horse's mouth'.

  I have read his recent comments and detect no change of view.On In 2008, did temperatures drop as much as they rose over the whole 20th century? posted 1 year, 1 month ago 71 Responses

  The Id's pooint supported by a major statistician

  This is exactly what I was saying repeatedly on this thread.  A major yet unreported development in man made global warming news. Ian Jolliffe, the preeminent statistician on the methods used to make the hockey sticks.  Calls it rubbish.

  The evil one

  Hey, Pangolin and others, glad I stopped back to this ancient thread.

  ..but would all the skeptics in the room please care to explain where all the CO2 in the atmosphere that came from fossil fuels/land conversion/etc is going, if it's not causing warming?

  All the evidence ever gathered has shown that CO2 increases typically lag the data. And by all, i mean really all. From ice cores the 018 to 016 ratios vary indicating (to some) a temperature change.  Lag means CO3 happens after not before temperature change.  It was quite an important issue for skeptics when we noticed al gore shifted the curve for his movie.

  There's pangolin on the bottom.  Still denying,  I have an idea, if the cows are causing global warming maybe we should eat them faster!

  Hey I bet you didn't know how the hockey stick graph above was made!
