A Brilliant Post By Iowahawk That I Cannot Read

Iowahawk has a very ambitious idea for a post: Not only will he explain to you what the hockey stick is, and how it came to be, he will actually take you step-by-step through Mann's (et al.) process in crunching the numbers and explain to you how to produce your own temperature reconstruction graph.

This isn't a joke or parody; he's really teaching you basic statistical modeling and telling you exactly how to produce your own graph (and how Mann et al. produced theirs).

I admit, my brain doesn't want to go here: A man's got to know his limitations.

But I imagine quite a few of you have brains hooked up to handle this sort of thing, and may be pretty intrigued at the idea of running your own temperature reconstructions.

DIY CRU AGW.

Hmmm... I guess if I am going to be hawking this issue, I really do have to try this at some point.

The thing is, it's one thing to talk about this sort of thing vague, but when you really understand something, obviously you really understand it.

It's not that forbidding. It's pretty accessible, really.
