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.

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.
