Mike’s Nature trick
So far one of the most circulated e-mails from the CRU hack is the following from Phil Jones to the original hockey stick authors – Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley, and Malcolm Hughes.

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or
first thing tomorrow.
I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps
to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from
1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual
land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land
N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with
data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers
Phil

Release of CRU files forge a new hockey stick reconstruction
It seems no matter where you look, ‘hockey stick’ shapes pop out of data related to climate. Today, the most extraordinary day in climate science seen in quite some time, was no exception.
And, the day is not over. But honestly I’m too tired to continue. Thus I’m going to present the dataset gleaned today in raw form, but without the final endpoint. There’s no smoothing nor splicing of dissimilar datasets, but granted it is not a complete dataset. I’ll have complete data tomorrow.
Readers will recognize that even though the endpoint has not been established, the conclusion from the graph is clear. We are living in times of extraordinary data, never before seen. It’s accelerating, and worse than we thought.
Then the beaver started attacking me instead but I managed to jump out of the way and grab hold of Matilda,” he told the Östersunds-Posten newspaper. With his daughter bleeding profusely from one of her wrists and one of her thighs, Handler flagged down a passing car and had the girl taken to a nearby clinic for treatment. A week has now passed since Matilda’s unexpectedly violent brush with the animal kingdom and the girl is eager to speak about her trauma. “It jumped on me and started biting. I was bleeding a lot. It was silly,” she said. Asked what she would do if she ever bumped into the beaver again, Matilda said she would “sword it with a sword”. Maano Aunaduu, a local zoologist, believes the animal felt threatened by the four-year-old. “It did exactly what a dog would have done in a tight situation,” he said, adding that it was never advisable to pet a wild animal. He did however concede that Matilda’s experience was rare. “It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of anyone being bitten by a beaver,” he said.
