I'm not going to get into bashing Easterbrook here, but I will bash those of you that can't keep your references straight. At least Don got that part right. Richard Alley had nothing to do with the oxygen isotope data, which were measured in the lab of my advisor Minze Stuiver, and his co-worker Pieter Grootes. I did a lot of the measurements myself, as a grad student.
Some actual relevant reference include:
Grootes et al., 1993
Steig et al., 1994
Stuiver and Grootes, 1995

And yes, Richard and his student (at the time) Kurt Cuffey used the oxygen isotope data, combined with borehole thermometry data, to get the best conversion of oxygen isotopes to temperature. A good reference is Cuffey and Clow, 1997, as someone above mentioned. But the more primary one is Cuffey et al., 1995.

Getting this right isn't hard folks. Ever heard of Google, Expedia, or Yahoo?

For those of you who can't even handle that (and I'm taking both 'skeptics' and others to task here), a nice list is here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/icecore/greenland/…

Click on "Citation search" and type in "Stuiver" and you might learn something.

But of course the key point is that Easterbrook is a fool for thinking that the oxygen isotopes from Greenland are anything but a local record, as Glacier Guy notes above. Of course, he may not actually think that. In that case, he's no fool. He's just dishonest. I won't bother trying to figure out which.

Surely these yawning crevasses in this case are a clear reminder the reason we have peer review? We hear a lot of complaints about it from the other side, but really, there's got to be some means to stop blatant nonsense before it gets started. I suspect PR is a bit like Churchill's assessment of democracy; 'The worst system we have, apart from all the others.' I'm genuinely curious about the fate of the Mount Baker Glaciers, incidentally: those were'nt merely rhetorical questions I asked earlier. It also strikes me that the post-'77 retreat shown in the 2007 photo Easterbrook presents - slide 27 - would appear to be greater than 475m. Unless perhaps it's by elevation? (Surely not? But what do Aussies know of Glaciers?)

He's officially retired, and I think is mostly trying to make a legacy for himself, or gain some sense of self-importance, sadly. He once did some decent work on glacial geologic problems (NOT climate!), but it was long ago, and he's contributed little of substance since the 60's. None of his climate blather will ever be published in a scientific journal because it's so full of gaping holes, disinformation and outright errors. But the media, and the broader public, have little sense of any of that, or it's importance. Sigh…makes working to a solution that much more difficult!
