Stephen McIntyre’s tweet thread is a delight for outdated timers of the Local weather Wars and has resurrected the problem, or no less than the area, of the Enchanted Larch of Yamal.
For individuals who want to catch up or refresh themselves, right here is the submit that launched numerous hilarity and unadmitted embarrassment for the Local weather Consensus Neighborhood.

final week, a brand new article https://nature.com/articles/s41467-022-32629-x… on Yamal tree rings, co-authored by Osborn and Melvin of East Anglia, claimed “latest Siberian heating unprecedented in previous 7 millennia”. @climateofgavin snickered as a result of outcomes just like prior UEA.
Schmidt illustrated his snicker with seemingly dramatic hockey stick from Hantemirov (Nature 2022). Neither Schmidt nor Nature confirmed an much more exceptional determine from Hantemirov thesis exhibiting a exceptional southward motion of Yamal treeline through Holocene, with tiny latest HS
the dramatic southward motion of Yamal treeline in Holocene (noticed by Hantemirov) is in step with long-term lower in Greenland d18O values (Vinther 2009).
Nor do Hantermirov (or Schmidt) reconcile the seminal findings of Esper et al (Nature 2012) https://www.blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb09climatology/recordsdata/2012/03/Esper_2012_NatureCC6.pdf exhibiting lack of responsiveness of tree ring chronologies to the large modifications in excessive latitude JJA insolation over Holocene (as much as 48 wm-2 vs 1.5 wm-2 CO2 forcing)
regardless of the assertion in Nature on supposed information availability, Hantemirov (2022) did NOT archive the underlying measurement information. About 600 of the ~1600 cores had been beforehand utilized in Briffa et al (2002,2009, 2013) and grudgingly made accessible.
there may be some new and interesing data in Hantemirov (2022)- lengthy sought information on lat-longs of the samples – see Samples tab on spreadsheet at
https://zenodo.org/report/6477133#.Yw4fOXbMKUk
Hantemirov illustrated the places of their samples in determine proven beneath (which exhibits websites on Tanlova, Khadyta, Yada and Portsa rivers). The colour sample doesn’t present any biasing sample.
Right here’s my plot of similar location information, coloring by time interval – blue oldest subfossil, crimson fashionable (residing in 1980-2020). An apparent level: fashionable samples are to far south of vary, oldest samples to the north. Word a really historic Yuribey River pattern to north, not proven in Nature
one other illustration of similar location information, exhibiting latitude vs pith (begin) 12 months. The fashionable treeline is way to the south of Holocene treelines and fashionable (residing) samples taken to south of majority of mid-Holocene samples. Word early report of 70N early Holocene treeline
Schmidt and different publicists present the extremely smoothed model of the Yamal information. The unsmoothed model (unsurprisingly) is significantly much less dramatic.
I used to be in a position to replicate their Lowess100 clean (of the KMean_Reconstruction sequence) within the Kmean tab of archived spreadsheet in first attempt (a Wordle eagle, so to talk) through the use of lowess span f=100/7368. Enabling me to remark fairly exactly on related spline clean that they present.
the KMean_Reconstruction is linear (100% correlation) to underlying CRN proven beneath. The blade of the graceful begins ~1750 and, on its face, merely exhibits latest many years persevering with pattern that started ~1750.
intimately, the newest “chronology” values (from the southerly a part of Yamal) are barely elevated from values earlier in twentieth and late nineteenth, however no specific HS.
and, for sure, Hantemirov and his East Anglia coauthors made NO try and differentiate any extra progress in Yamal ensuing immediately from late twentieth century CO2 “greening”, although such greening is proven in Yamal together with most different places
