Global Warming at the reference frame

Professor Motl has been on a bit of a roll lately:

Borehole climate reconstructions & hockey stick revolution

James Hansen on scientific reticence (I had posted the paper below, this a.m.)

Role of mathematics in science

Numerical Models, Integrated Circuits and Global Warming Theory

I had trouble deciding whether to post this on the economics site or here, so I did both. I've been thinking about cumulative errors for a month, it's time to let it go. This is by a guy who seems to know his way around an abacus.

Global temperature change

From the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:

http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/103/39/14288 seven page PDF

I'm encouraged that Mr. Hansen believes in publishing in open access forums like the PNAS and the arXiv (see below). This is the only paper I've ever seen wherein the author refers to his Senate testimony. I should probably start posting his stuff on the Politics and Economics blog.

Remember: Correlation does not equal causation. Just because it appears that temperature rise precedes CO2 rise, don't assume that it has anything to do with the diminished CO2 load carrying capacity of warmer water. Or partial pressures. Anyway, the resolution of the charts isn't fine enough.
