” * There have been four periods of global warming in the past 1500 years.

Now this is a mystery.”

If that is still a mystery for you you have a problem indeed. Perhaps you should enquire a little further afield but I suppose, as a fungus farmer, being kept in the dark and being fed on BS appeals to you.

“The IPCC says …………………….”

That about sums up your ‘science’.

The IPCC is a political organization which, ulimately, had its roots in Mrs Thatcher’s wish to kick Arther Scargill where it hurts most.

Yep.
I’ll make pdfs of the slides today and see if I can’t hang them off the Otago website. Details later.

Well I popped in and caught the tail end, it seemed like an interesting seminar. Any chance of putting the material online somewhere?

Doug, you’ve got to give more notice than that! I’ve been knocking around campus since 11 with nothing much to do, I would have gone but now I can only catch the last 5 minutes…

Quick Gisela,

If you are in Dunedin you have 45 minutes to make it to my seminar to the Department of Statistics about some recent articles by Chris de Freitas (and other NZCSC members). Title: 110% confidence tricks: The misuse of statistics in the “debate” about climate change.

St David lecture theatre 6. Today at 11

Chris de Freitas rocks!
I am not an academic in the field at all, but one thing is certain: we (humans) have not been here long enough to know for sure.
Chris knows very well what he is talking about. Time will prove him right!

Dave, it’s been sometime since I visited the NZ CSC site so I was happy to hear that they were at last using some science in their media releases.
You can only imagine my disappointment at being unable to find the media releases that you refer to, perhaps you could post a link to this good science?

Steve: you must have studied somewhere remarkable.

Dave: I wasn’t comparing the NZ CSC to Greenpeace, merely pointing out CdF’s diatribe against environmentalists, and his factual errors. I have to say, though, that the Greenpeace material I’ve seen shows a considerably better understanding of the science than anything issued by the NZ CSC.
