    I once did an article explaining the concept of a temperature anomaly, and wanted to use data from an article Dr. Jones had worked on. He was extremely helpful and nice in our communications. Charlie Soeder, USA

    When the history of climate science in the late 20th century is written your work will stand out as a great contribution. I am sorry for your troubles. Keep up the good work.

    P.S. By FOI request, I meant to Phil Jones, not to Skeptical Science - the 'anonymous' names would therefore be exposed indirectly.
  37. Nil Illegitimi Carborundum
    I hate to put a bit of a dampener on this worthy cause but be aware that this email to Prof Jones when sent would in all likelihood be open to an FOI request so I would urge you to reconsider including anyone on the message that clearly wants to remain anonymous (i.e. has submitted their name to you via email).

  41. Glaciers are growing
    Oh, and Chef, did you click on the "intermediate" tab above? That has information on the number of glaciers monitored -- directly relevant to the cherry-pick claim.

  43. Glaciers are growing
    Chef, what evidence was given for the claim? Some glaciers have cycled through gain and loss over the course of the current interglacial, but most of the world's ice hasn't been monitored until fairly recently. To use those few glaciers that have 200-year old records to make a claim about global ice mass loss--that's a cherry pick itself. The World Glacier Monitoring Service has more detail: http://www.grid.unep.ch/glaciers/ The sharp reduction in global ice mass over the last 30 years is well-documented. Not all glaciers are retreating. The overwhelming majority are--Antarctica most alarmingly. Interestingly, increased atmospheric water vapor should mean more available snow, and thus an increase in glacial mass. Nope. Too warm. As a proxy for AGW, it's pretty good. After all, what could be causing this ice loss? It's not increased insolation, because there hasn't been increased insolation. It's not volcanic activity under the ice, because that's not happening either. Further, whatever alternative theory that might be proposed for such loss, it would still have to take into account increased global energy storage via increased CO2. If it were discovered that black carbon was the culprit, that wouldn't suddenly negate the known physics of atmospheric CO2.

  46. Glaciers are growing
    Hi, I have an honest question. I read an article here: climate-skeptic.com that basically claims that glacial melting history is being cherry picked by climate change theory advocates and ignores that glaciers have been melting for 200 years, since before the onset of CO2 emissions. I dismiss most denialist stuff, but haven't seen any rebuttals to this argument. Is this just a new argument? What's going on ? Thanks!
