shirgall Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2015/09/14/science-integrity-is-the-lowest-in-500-years/ Basically a criticism of an article about the California Drought limiting its view to the previous 500 years, because there were worse droughts if you go back further...
percentient Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 "All reconstructions extend to 1500 C.E., thus avoiding the use of sparsely replicated information from chronologies with few trees in the early years of their stacks." I think he's being a bit dramatic here. The authors are just showing yet another variable that shows exceptional drought in the region. It's not even an article, just a one-page "opinion & comment" piece, which we would have known had he linked to the original source. Is that even peer-reviewed? Since he's comfortable assuming fraudulent intent, I'm going to go ahead and say that he neglected to link to the source to cover his ass.
