The Divergence Problem: Some Statistical Considerations
Abstract
Cook et al. (2004), following Briffa et al 2001, argued that the 'divergence problem' was a 'uniquely recent phenomenon', which they interpreted as evidence for an anthropogenic cause. This finding was cited by both the NAS Panel (2006) and the IPCC (2007). The statistical basis for their argument is analyzed, together with an assessment of the validity and statistical significance, if any, of these and related results
