I am spiritually gifting you a membership of the Cloud Appreciation Society.

Perhaps you can join and write off the cost as research using the constant stream of funds you get from big Bamboo?
A happy Christmas to you, its only hours away from it for you.
Me? I still have to negotiate the Christingle service with our grand daughter and then the midnight carol service. All with a hacking cough. That should delight the congregation.

In my last article last month I said this;
“A future area of my research relates to updating work by Hubert Lamb who created an interesting graphic of the number of days in a year that the UK (and generally Europe) has South Westerly winds. The data begins in 1340 and ends in around 1978. I have asked the Met Office for the source of the data whereby Lambs’ graphic can be updated on a like for like basis, as the wind direction in recent decades may have a bearing on the current temperature decline.”
The Met Office have been unable to directly supply the information I want but have been helpful in pointing me to other potential sources of information.
Winds and jet streams are of crucial importance to determining our daily weather, The sun and clouds are closely related to our weather also. They all seem a much more logical candidate than co2 for the changing weather/climate we can observe over the centuries.

No more wine for the Scots until the next interglacial, ~100,000 years from now.
While implausible, it does also explain why his data cannot be reproduced in later queries.
No, it simply means that a Professor of Economics is incapable of realising that given that they defined social science papers as “not climate related” that they used the Science Citation Index in Web of Science only. If you restrict your search in this way, you can indeed largely reproduce their data. Of course, it’s not exactly the same, since any search done now will include a few abstracts that were added after the paper was published. Most would realise that no study can be expected to include data that was only introduced after the study was complete. It seems that a Professor of Economics also doesn’t understand that time travel is still not possible.
I really agree with many of the aims of that society. Don’t like cloudless conditions. Those years when we get strong westerlies starting in late winter and you can’t buy a cloud till late September are the pits. That’s why Spring can be so dangerous in these parts: dry heat and inland winds after frost. The dead bladey grass and bracken are like napalm waiting to go off. It was supposed to happen this year for Super-Nino…but squelch!
I remember spending late Spring in Siena and being horrified by the lack of afternoon cloud let alone thunder after baking hot days. The Tuscan sky just stayed the same all week. No wind, either. Wouldn’t happen here between the Great Divide and the Tasman Sea! (Well, not often.)
I’m guessing cloud has cooled today by about ten degrees centigrade. Adjust accordingly! If you call it eleven or nine nobody will notice once the dodgy max reading goes into the pot with all the other dodgy max readings.
Merry Christmas. tonyb!
Say Peter, krige us some of yr cool Canberra temps
fer Xmas why don’cha? Here down south we’ve had
hot, hot, hot. Tsk! Whether is so variable. Ask tony b.
ATTP,

Why do your feel you need to make such rude replies to someone who has done so much for quantitative analysis of what is actually relevant for rational policy analysis and decision making? Do you really think such rudeness boosts your stature, or is it just an ego trip?
Happy Christmas Richard Tol, and everyone else, (even those who are deniers of the relevant facts).
Peter,
Why do your feel you need to make such rude replies to someone who has done so much for quantitative analysis of what is actually relevant for rational policy analysis and decision making?
I’ve no idea why you think you’re in a position to comment on other people’s supposed rudeness. Is it only others who are expected to be polite?
The real reason I posted the comment in the manner that I did is because this issue is so absolutely trivial that someone of Richard’s stature should be embarrassed to ask the questions that he’s asking. If he doesn’t like this being pointed out, maybe he should stop asking stupid questions.

Correcting the record Peter M, 2nd last comment fer
the year. ) Plus one fer Xmas and New Year, Peter.
If I had a dog with face like Ken Rice I’d shave its ass and teach it to walk backwards.
Springer,
Oh no, Peter’s going to be very upset that you’ve been rude…..oh, hold on?
I thought you needed company. It appeared you were the only assh0le in the thread. Merry Christmas dummy.

@wottsy
SSCI v SCI does not explain the discrepancy. WoS does retain when an entry was added to the database, so while time travel is not possible, you can reconstruct historical queries.
Mosomoso,
You don’t need to see the 1910-40 rise.
That isn’t the rise you are looking for.
You can go about your business.
Move along.

12547 – 12465 = 82 > 64
64 is the number of Category 1 papers by Cook.
In other words, if Cook’s missing papers are missing for any other reasons than his clumsiness in downloading data, then his headline result would be substantially different.
It would therefore be good if Cook could explain the discrepancies in sample size.
Note that they were alerted to this a long time ago, and have ignored the matter.
