1336.txt, Jansen++ om Climate Audit

[Amatør1]

Eystein Jansen har lest Climate Audit siden 2006, men synes ikke noe om det som står der. Allikevel aksepterer han Steve McIntyre som en av nøkkelpersonene innenfor paleoklimaforskningen....

Forøvrig karakteriserer han CA sine lesere som en "trist forsamling".

Phil Jones responderer til Eystein Jansen med et glimt av både sin usikkerhet og sin manglende usikkerhet.

Dear All,
     A lot of good points raised by the horizontal Eystein. Keith is
  hoping to do something on the recent tree growth issue.

     What this sad crowd (nice words - I'll use the phrase again) don't
  realise is that the satellite data now agree with the surface. This is
  said in Ch 3 and will come home more forcefully once the CCSP
  report on vertical temperature trends comes out. This should be
  April or May according to Tom Karl who is overseeing it all. I say
  should as it apparently has to be approved by the White House!
  Peck will know why this is and the expertise of the people doing
  the approval!

     I can say for certain (100% - not any probable word that IPCC
  would use) is that the surface temperature data are correct.

     McIntyre is determined and the blog does influence people, unfortuately
  the media.  As you say as issues are partially closed, they will move on
  to others.

  Cheers
  Phil
