Just after the release of the National Academy of Sciences report ‘Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years‘ I compared the ‘hockey stick graph’ — a reconstruction of Millennial global temperatures based on tree-ring and other proxies by Mann and colleagues to a broadway production The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow. However, for critical policy oriented work on climate I strongly support the main findings of the recently released report “ Ad Hoc Committee Report on the ‘Hockey Stick’ Global Climate Reconstruction“, namely: [...] [...] Statistics packages like R are fun for ‘doing it yourself’ and getting involved in the debates.

Thankfully not everyone is the same. There are whole groups of society who wouldn't know a Gaia if they drove one. I confess I went that way myself until I got real.

It's interesting yet frightening. When I first read "Ecotopia" I was quite taken with it and actually adopted that vision as my goal, a goal, happily, long since discarded. If you read the prequel, "Ecotopia Emerging" there are descriptions of mobs chasing down cars in San Francisco and attacking them and their drivers. The protagonists of the "Ecotopian Revolution" recruit people at Lawrence Livermore, steal warheads and use nuclear blackmail to accomplish their putsch. Having formed their utopian state they adopt a number of authoritarian attributes. Looking back at it all, I cringe. Sadly, some of my contemporaries from those days have probably not really changed.

It is one of those delicious moments when you can say I told you so. If they had read M&Ms papers when they came out and followed the blog, it was a plain as day they were right, and the NAS report agreed. I don't see much division though. AGW is more of a group think in my circles and I get dismissed as a curiosity for saying its exaggerated. AGW is the institution in ecology. I don’t know Dano or follow many blogs much.
