Credit where credit is due!

Posted on April 24, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

Given that my tagline is “Trying to keep the discussion civil”, I thought I should at least give Anthony Watts and Roy Spencer credit when it is due. Anthony Watt’s most recent post, called Spencer slays with sarcasm, links to … Continue reading →

Watt about the comments?

Watt about Marcott?

Posted on April 13, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I thought it would be appropriate for my first post to discuss the recent paper by Shaun Marcott (Marcott, Shakun, Clark & Mix, 2013, Science, 339, 1198-1201). This is a paper that uses something like 73 different proxies to determine … Continue reading →
