The link above is an excellent summary of the entire Hockey Stick debacle as described by one of the men who exposed it for what it was in the first place.

I highly recommend reading through the whole thing.

The author, in other posts, tells us that a discredited Hockey Stick does not disprove Anthropogenic Global Warming, and that's true. What is does is show how a major piece of data purportedly showing unprecedented 20th century temperature rise is actually a piece of statistical nonsense.

Even the new Hockey Stick is no better. It uses essentially the same cherry-picked and distorted data as the original.

What's even more interesting is that research which supposedly vinidicated the HS are just re-iterations of the same data, and not independent reconstructions as implied. There is a lot of fraud going on here, but no one in charge seems to want to say it. It also amazes me that anyone who can call themself a scientist actually defends these practices.
