Major new paleoclimatology study shows global warming has upended 6,500 years of cooling

Over the past 150 years, global warming has more than undone the global cooling that occurred over the past six millennia, according to a major study published June 30 in Nature Research's Scientific Data, "Holocene global mean surface temperature, a multi-method reconstruction approach." The findings show that the millennial-scale global cooling began approximately 6,500 years ago when the long-term average global temperature topped out at around 0.7°C warmer than the mid-19th century. Since then, accelerating greenhouse gas emissions have contributed to global average temperatures that are now surpassing 1°C above the mid-19th century.

Yet another confirmation of the hockey stick.
 

Laughable. Includes strip barks to get a hockey stick, despite PNAS recommendation against their use.

Another major paleoclimate paper published by the top journal in science is dismissed by JH because of something he read 15 years ago on a denier blog.

Ummm, you mean recommendations by [I]National Research Council[/I], not PNAS, right? [National Research Council. Surface temperature reconstructions for the last 2,000 years. National Academies Press, 2007.]

But in the paper Threegoofs cites they use a large number of OTHER proxies (see Table 1 in the actual reference [URL="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?output=instlink&q=info:3WEO1VQ107kJ:scholar.google.com/&hl=en&as_sdt=0,38&scillfp=3989186754008282509&oi=lle"]HERE[/URL])

Archive Type Proxy Type
marine sediment alkenone
marine sediment δ18O
marine sediment Mg/Ca
multiple archives TEX86
marine sediment foraminifera
marine sediment dinocyst
multiple archives diatom
marine sediment radiolaria
multiple archives pollen
multiple archives GDGTa
multiple archives stable isotopes
lake sediment variousb
lake sediment chironomid
glacier ice variousc
midden macrofossils
wood tree ring width


So if you don't like the tree ring data, how do you deal with the 15 OTHER proxies?

Better: he dismisses it because ONE PROXY out of 16 proxies used might have used data that was not preferred.

Chances are, they didn’t use strip bark dating anyway, since that tends to be the recent part of the Bristlecone Pine that overlaps with the observed temperature record. They probably used whole bark for dating which is considered reliable and accurate.

Jack literally has no idea what he’s talking about and only is capable of cutting and pasting denier blogs.

Actually, it's something I read in a PNAS report.

Only the strip barks produce a hockey stick.

There's no hockey stick without the strip barks.

To save myself the headache, would you care to support this contention? Because I've seen plenty of hockeystick graphs that use non-tree proxies: borehole, speleothem, glacier, etc. etc.

[h=3]PAGES2K: North American Tree Ring Proxies[/h]
The PAGES (2017) North American network consists entirely of tree rings. Climate Audit readers will recall the unique role of North American stripbark bristlecone chronologies in Mann et al 1998 and Mann et al 2008 (and in the majority of IPCC multiproxy reconstructions). In today’s post, I’ll parse the PAGES2K North American tree ring networks in both PAGES (2013) and PAGES (2017) from two aspects:

  • even though PAGES (2013) was held out as the product of superb quality control, more than 80% of the North American tree ring proxies of PAGES (2013) were rejected in 2017, replaced by an almost exactly equal number of tree ring series, the majority of which date back to the early 1990s and which would have been available not just to PAGES (2013), but Mann et al 2008 and even Mann et al 1998;
  • the one constant in these large networks are the stripbark bristlecone/foxtail chronologies criticized at Climate Audit since its inception. All 20(!) stripbark chronologies isolated by Mann’s CENSORED directory re-appear not only in Mann et al (2008), but in PAGES (2013). In effect, the paleoclimate community, in apparent solidarity with Mann, ostentatiously flouted the 2006 NAS Panel recommendation to “avoid” stripbark chronologies in temperature reconstructions. In both PAGES (2013) and PAGES (2017), despite ferocious data mining, just as in Mann et al 1998, there is no Hockey Stick shape without the series in Mann’s CENSORED directory.

Ya, it is VERY laughable. As I recall the NAS expressly warned against the use of strip bark samples after the farce provided by mann...and they keep on using them because...well, there is no one to stop a cult from being a cult...

What is stripbark?

Can you tell us?
 

You do realize that 6000 ears is a blink of an eye in earths history. Where I live right now there was a 1 to 2 mile thick ice sheet the size of a continent just 2500 years ago. It is all gone. Must have been those camp fires of my stone age ancestors.
 

What caused that massive warming from 12,000 to 10,000 on your graph? Cave men?

Ahhh, McIntyre. One of the guys who had his behind handed to him when it became apparent that he and McKitrick didn't know how to do proper principal component analysis when critiquing the hockeystick.

Excellent.

Can I tell you? So you don't know? In old age bristlecone pines can assume a strip-bark form, a band of trunk that remains alive and continues to grow after the rest of the tree stem has died - referring to samples of bristlecone pines in the White Mountains of California.

And the NAS has recommended against their use, as a result of the mann-mcIntyre hocky-strip controversy.

If that data is still in use, it makes this "new study" junk science.

Other than being 100 percent wrong...good point.

So...is that data used here?
