Serious Science: Win a DeSmogBlog T-Shirt

Guess - or figure out - what "distinguished Canadian climatologist" drew the trend line on this graph from the top of one peak to the bottom of another (a sure sign of excellence in scientific observation).

Coveted DeSmogBlog t-shirts go to the first - and the funniest - correct answers (the latter to be decided by a discerning panel of DeSmogBlog experts; i.e., Kevin and me).

Good luck. In fact, in this perilous times, good luck to us all.

With "distinguished" as a hint, I'll hazard to say that the answer is just a matter of keeping one's eye on the ball, er , Ball.
Can this figure be enlarged?

Richard ran away to a mountain and is not getting any email -- don't know where he got the image. I will get it up as an attachment you can expand ASAP. I guess if Richard doesn't get an enlarged image up soon, he'll all of our loyal readers t-shirts.

Rutherford also said "If you need statistics, you did the experiment wrong." Physicists reserve the right to shrug off reality as 'noise', and mathematicians reserve the right to change the problem to one that can be solved. Thank goodness for the "stamp collectors"!

The Wegman Report was not pro bono, and George Mason violated Federal rules

New Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) replies have exposed more misdeeds by Professor Edward Wegman and Yasmin Said at George Mason University (GMU),  closely involved with the Kochs, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and many others known for attacks on climate science. This post reviews background and attaches FOIA files that unearthed evidence for:

-pervasive mis-use of Federal funds for inappropriate work,
-plagiarism or falsification in documents used to seek grants or credit,
-GMU violations of Federal...
