re: New report on global temperatures
"The Canadian minerals consultant Stephen McIntyre has been at the forefront of a campaign to expose what he sees as methodological flaws in the use of proxy data.
He told BBC News that he felt the report had upheld "virtually all of our technical criticisms of MBH and did not reject or refute any direct points that we made. This is obviously encouraging on a personal level.
"They also set out some recommended statistical practices and guidelines, which largely correspond to our suggestions."

Of course the BBC doesn't get it, but the Hockey Stick has been debunked.
