Ross McKitrick: Defects in key climate data are uncovered

Ross McKitrick is a respected environmental economist. Two days ago, on October 1st, McKitrick wrote THIS ARTICLE about the flawed data, known as the Hockey Stick graph, that has been used as the main source of information regarding global warming. The Hockey Stick graph was created by a US Climatologist, Michael Mann.

For many years, scientists who tried to replicate the study could not. None of them were able to replicate the Hockey Stick graph that depicted the spike in the rise of temperature.

It turns out that although a large sample of tree cores was taken, only about 12 of the cores were used. When you add the rest of the tree cores into the data, the graph does not look like a Hockey Stick at all. It is in line with the rest of the graph. No Hockey Stick. No spike in warming.

This is so important right now to know the truth. If we are misinformed, we will make decisions that will impact future generations and cost them trillions in unnecessary taxes. Please take time to read the article.
