Are there any plans by a Canuck to address Oliver’s latest nonsense?

But Marcott et al conclusions about relative warmth of current temperatures to the Holocene, and the coming breakout in this century well beyond previous temperature in the 11000 years of the Holocene, does not rely in any way on this uptake. Rather, they cite Mann et al 2008 reconstruction, instrumental temperatures and modeled scenarios, and compare these to the broad contour of the past 11,000 years.

Any thoughts on Marcott and the throwing of toys by the usual suspects, including Pielke? It would be nice to have an incisive debunking and audit of claims made by them on the record.

Twitter hashtag #unmuzzlescience is in use now; and here’s a way to find earlier tweets on the subject:

There was gullibility on the part of the BBC, however.
