Scoring with the Global Warming Hockey Stick

Want to see the REAL Global Warming Hockey Stick graph? Well look no further than Zombie’s new post at Pajama’s Media…

Key excerpt:

The newly recovered data confirms the accuracy of the abrupt upward turn in readings characteristic of the “hockey stick” shape found in many global warming projections.

Guess the ‘missing’ data was found after all. Zombie – Iowahawk would be proud… Brings a tear to my eyes – from laughing that is… Really you guys have got to see this:
