He does not do a good literature review. Does not properly compare his work to that of Moberg (closest comparison). Messes up on at least one of the selected proxies. Does not disclose his reasons for inclusion and screening out proxies. It's really, really not a quality piece of work. I don't think he puiblished in EE because of controversial stance. I think he published there...because they tolerate slack work.</p> Loehle’s article is not a good study. He does not do a good literature review.

I’m an amateur astronomer and have noted the lack of sunspot activity recently, a phenomenon associated with reduced solar heat output.

I enjoy reading this blog.
