You put on quite a performance in this thread and others and of the same self-belief system in things which you claim you know but don’t, which was the reason I gave for dismissing you in January at WUWT. You likewise put on a ripe display of the very same rudeness and resort to paranoia about motives and agendas which you accused me of then, and which I have now repeatedly observed you apply to anyone who questions your opinions and belief-edifice in things you actually don’t know. Clearly it’s what you do.

I dismissed you then, as I clearly stated at the time simply because your insistent claim to know things you definitely didn’t know left me no alternative at all but to dismiss you entirely. And frankly it is astonishing the people you’ve attacked so falsely and baseless above didn’t dismiss you as well.

Count yourself fortunate, I would not have been so generous towards someone so undeserving of polite due-regard.

I don’t doubt it. Mann put him through the wringer of the courts and it must have cast Dr. Ball a fortune in litigation. Fortunately, the case was heard in Canada, and the court insisted on Mann’s work which he wasn’t about to deliver, so lost the case. Dr. Ball had made the witty remark that Mann “belongs in the State Pen rather than Penn State.

I think the article his son alluded to was published on WUWT just the other day.
I find Dr. Ball’s writing quite enlightening. But then, we share the same Alma Mater. Perhaps one must be from Winnipeg to understand the wit.

Otherwise any filter that shows peaks where the data has troughs and vice versa seems worse than useless, it’s frankly misleading.

Now if you are looking for an “inflection point” you need to develop some filter or other processing that detects such features, not choose a crap low-pass filter and arbitrarily imagine that’s out put is meaningful.

Refused, like he has obligation to do so but did not ??

Perhaps you meant “declined to post” or “chose not to post.

Tim Ball gets quite a few articles posted at WUWT. Though I do read what he has to say, I find him less than objective, on the whole.

Sadly, though simple, running mean “smoothers” are a crock. The sudden drop is largely a result of artefacts in that filter.

There is a notable drop but the ‘falling off the cliff’ effect is an artefact.

I’ve already pointed this out. It is surprising that you don’t question how you can have such a steep and sudden drop when you imagine you have removed all changes faster than 11 years.

Credibility established by agreeing that the current models are wrong, but then misdirection from the reason. Appeals to authority and insistence on adherence to a specific interpretation right in line with the climate science establishment.

It will be interesting to see whether Anthony Watts figures out what’s up
