This was the only time I've ever heard a recording -- her own words -- played.
Listening to her refute the nitwits who are misrepresenting everything she did, over and over, was wonderful -- and perplexing.
Why isn't this big news? Have any of you taken on the idiots out there who are still trying to blacken her reputation?

I've sent thanks and small contributions several times over quite a few years; it's quite a resource generously made available. And if you do want to use his images, each one has info attached specifying how you may use it and how to acknowledge where you got it.
A word, to the wise, is sufficient.

I didn't mean plot Cuffey/Clow's data, though I'd be curious to know if it's actually available, did you find it in the paper or a reference to where they got their data points? I was just wondering how a blink/overlay of the stretched-and-flipped plot compares to the Monckton/Easterbrook thing; I'm still wondering whether some actual single data set lines up with the combined result of the eight proxies in the globalwarmingart chart. My recollection was that globalwarmingart says the GISP2 proxy line (light blue?) shown there has a lot more variation than the merged (black)--but I don't know if it's even the same GISP2 data.
Eventually it gets too tiresome to chase this stuff, especially since Easterbrook is sure he has on his own computer the actual data he charted, if he'd only cite it or post a copy of it somewhere.
Perhaps he's signed a nondisclosure .... no, don't go there.

I'm curious how well that "original"-after-stretching-and-flipping matches the one from globalwarmingart

Bullshit. You can, when you decide to quit lying about it, cite the exact information you pretend isn't there: http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/File:Holocen...

We don't even know for sure what data he used, or whether he produced those two graphs himself.
Remember people do get old, and trust too much, and get fooled about what they put their names on.
It's possible he asked someone to make up a graphic and told them what to use and trusted the result. We simply can't know unless he (sigh) shows or points to the data set, the actual numbers. Since his answer was that he had them on his own computer, there's no way to check what happened, let alone what his motives were.
Remember the Revelle/Singer story:

My guess, this is a 'picador' story (or a 'rodeo clown' if you prefer the norteamericano sport) -- someone who's thrown into the ring to distract attention when there's some problem. It makes me curious what else was wrong in the stuff Heartland put up, more than curious about this stuff.
