The reason for the large MWP in AR1 and AR2 has been explained to you before in detail within this thread before OWG. As has the Mann hockey stick and supporting studies that use numerous other datasets that replicate the anomaly. I will just assume you have a poor memory.Basilio is hanging on, at least I'm not on the ignore list anymore.....
Basilio is tacitly admitting agreement to the Hockey Stick fraud - as even the IPCC decided the MWP had to go.....to create "unprecedented" temperatures.
This posted over a year ago on ASF from those truthful scientists, well perhaps in AR1 and AR2, but it seems the graph wasn't scary enough for Al Gore.
Briffa was also caught out using a small subset of tree ring data that supported a hockey stick in 2009, rather than use all the data which of course showed no hockey stick at all.

It's all pure science isn't it basilio? Everyone else just needs more practice at lapping it up. Now if we could only find a way to get questioning people to lap to the 3% of man's CO2 driving that hockey stick as easily as you do then this pseudo science would become science, right?

It's hockey sticks all the way down. All the way down.

Sorry, my "lapping" ability isn't as sophisticated. Er, so 1 study from Mann using 12 tree rings to create a hockey stick invalidates the hundreds of peer reviewed MWP studies and even the IPCC AR1 and AR2 reports. Yes, you've made perfect sense - the IPCC invalidates the IPCC. The magic show is pulling a puppy out of a hat...where's the bowl?
You keep trotting out this 'the IPCC killed the MWP' and hockey stick has been discredited meme.
1. The graph displayed in the 1st IPCC report was a hand drawn schematic. The y-axis on the graph is dimensionless.
2. The data that the schematic was based on was collected in 1965, taken from a single site in Central England as 50 year averages.
3. When newer and more widespread data became available new graphs were created. This data did not remove the MWP, it just reduced its magnitude and placed the peak of it around the 1950 levels.
4. Of the various attacks on the 'hockey stick' they have either been dismissed out of hand or the errors that have been found have not effected the main conclusions.
5. As stated before, post the Mann, Bradley and Hughes 'hockey stick', a swag of additional studies have been done using various different proxies and all, while confirming the presence of the MWP, do not have it exceeding the current temperature.

Even McIntyre denounces the more vocal sceptics with their conspiracy theories. In an apparent response to a challenge from the climate scientists' website RealClimate, he wrote to the American Spectator last October: "While there is much to criticise in the handling of this [Yamal] data, the results do not in any way show that AGW [anthropogenic global warming] is a 'fraud', nor that this particular study was a 'fraud'. There are many serious scientists who are honestly concerned about AGW and your commentary … is unfair to them."
This is the same Paul Ehrlich, during a recent visit feted as a guru by 'not your' ABC - hanging on his every word.

"..The number of [climate coverage] articles, blog posts, editorials, and op-eds 'declined roughly 20 percent from 2010’s levels and nearly 42 percent from 2009’s peak' according to a review of The Daily Climate’s global English-language media archive.
But two outlets were found to be dramatically out of step with international trends:
The Sydney Morning Herald placed sixth overall in total output, with a 21 percent jump from 2010. And the Australian Broadcasting Corporation increased its climate coverage by 60 percent.
The love media. God bless their little hand-woven earth-toned socks.."
http://imlweb04.itd.uts.edu.au/acij-ds/investigations/detail.cfm?ItemId=29219 contains a link to the full report, which I have not read.Some of Australia's leading newspapers have been so negative in their reporting of the Gillard government's carbon policy it's fair to say they've campaigned against it rather than covered it according to a new report by Australian Centre for Independent Journalism at the University of Technology, Sydney.
The first of a two-part analysis of Australian press coverage of climate change, A Sceptical Climate, has found that between February and July this year negative coverage of the carbon policy across 10 major newspapers outweighed positive coverage by 73 per cent to 27 per cent.
Report author Professor Wendy Bacon said the overall result was driven by News Ltd group publications (82 per cent negative versus 18 per cent positive), compared to a more balanced result for the Fairfax press (57 per cent positive articles outweighing 43 per cent negative).
On the other hand:

An already relentless melting of the Arctic greatly accelerated this summer [2007] —a sign that some scientists worry could mean global warming has passed an ominous tipping point..
..This week [Dec 2007], after reviewing his own new data, NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: "At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions."
It's a strange climate. While Perth is melting in a heatwave, it was 25 max today here, and the rain is bucketing down - 250 mls since 9AM and still pouring, with more to come. And that's just a rain depression.
No. What your actually decribing is weather... but why do I bother?
I suppose Orr was trying to offer the most basic principle in the climate change debate (the difference between short term weather and longer term climate changes ) to a forum member who has is proud of the factthat he has no capacity or willingness to understand the difference.
It is alarmists like you who most confuse weather with climate, so I can do without smarta*se lectures from you.
See ? Sheer ignorance.
Stuff that happens from day to day is the weather. Longer term changes in temperatures , rainfall patterns reflect changes in the climate.
Good for you basilio. Your extended lay-off from this thread has apparently taught you the errror of long-winded lectures, but has done nothing to abate your sheer arrogance.
