BEST's late...Susan, thank you for your comment. BEST's latest not only doesn't impress me (as an atmospheric scientist), it doesn't impress the published authors in climate science that I respect. <br /><br />Dr. Judith Curry: "Their latest paper on the 250 year record concludes that the best explanation for the observed warming is greenhouse gas emissions. In my opinion, their analysis is way over simplistic and not at all convincing." http://judithcurry.com/2012/07/29/a-new-release-from-berkeley-earth-surface-temperature/<br /><br />Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr. says: "Now, with the new Watts et al 2012 paper, Richard Muller’s conclusion regarding the robustness of the BEST analysis is refuted in the same day as his op-ed appeared. Richard Muller, in his latest analysis, continues to ignore past communications regarding the robustness of his results;" http://pielkeclimatesci.wordpress.com/2012/07/29/comments-on-the-game-changer-new-paper-an-area-and-distance-weighted-analysis-of-the-impacts-of-station-exposure-on-the-u-s-historical-climatology-network-temperatures-and-temperature-trends-by-w/<br /><br />And, as Dr. Ross McKitrick points out ( www.rossmckitrick.com/ ), this is nothing but "science by press release" (my words). All four of their attempts at publishing a peer-reviewed paper have been rejected. None of the BEST work is peer-reviewed. <br /><br />Even if the BEST temperature reconstruction is accurate it does nothing but demonstrate that temperatures recovered from the Little Ice Age. We know (from peer-reviewed papers) that temperatures in the Roman Warming and the Medieval Warm Period were both warmer than the temperatures we are currently experiencing.Mike Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435605216805307424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965215084022057128.post-25051718363487902122012-07-30T08:17:44.148-05:002012-07-30T08:17:44.148-05:00Except it doesn't.
