Hockey Stick Graph is Wrong edit

The data used to construct the hockey stick graph contains many errors that together create an incorrect graph that artificially shows a steep climb in temperature since the industrial revolution [1]

Methods edit

Results edit

The calculations done to produce the “hockey stick” graph have two major flaws. The first being that there were inconsistencies in the inclusion and exclusion of data sites. Secondly, outliers in the collected data were left unexplained despite their variance from the mean. [2]
