THE HOCKEY STICK CONTROVERSY See Also: Hockey stick controversy With Ross McKitrick , McIntyre has been involved in questioning the validity of the Hockey Stick graph used in a journal article by Michael Mann and co-authors.1 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TEMPERATURE RECORD McIntyre has supported the efforts of software was able to fix any problems with data due to poor quality stations . While studying individual station histories, McIntyre found an error in the US surface temperature anomaly record kept by GISS.2 GISS has acknowledged the error and incorporated a correction in their data set.3 The error affects the US surface temperature anomaly record, which for years years 2000-2006 reduces the measured temperature by about 0.15°C. A few days later, McIntyre wrote:4 Closing the circle: my original interest in GISS adjustment procedures was not an abstract interest, but a specific interest in whether GISS adjustment procedures were equal to the challenge of “fixing” bad data. If one views the above assessment as a type of limited software audit (limited by lack of access to source code and operating manuals), one can say firmly that the GISS software had not only failed to pick up and correct fictitious steps of up to 1 deg C, but that GISS actually introduced this error in the course of their programming. In the same article, McIntyre expressed his hope that the acknowledgment of this error will make it much more difficult for GISS to continue to deny researchers access to the source code and methodologies GISS uses to construct its U.S. and global temperature anomalies. CLIMATEAUDIT.ORG McIntyre's blog has as a recurrent topic the struggle to obtain underlying data from peer reviewed papers. McIntyre has stated 5 that he started ''Climate Audit'' so that he could defend himself against attacks being made at RealClimate , a blog on climatology. PERSONAL McIntyre has worked in hard-rock mineral exploration6 for 30 years, much of that time as an officer or director of several public mineral exploration companies. He has also been a policy analyst at both the governments of Ontario and of Canada 7. He holds a Bachelor Of Science degree in pure Mathematics from the University Of Toronto .8 He was offered a graduate scholarship to study mathematical economics at MIT, but chose instead to study philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford. He graduated with a degree in these subjects in 1971. Upon his graduation, he left London and returned to Toronto. McIntyre was the President and founder of Northwest Exploration Company Limited and a director of its parent company, Northwest Explorations Inc. When Northwest Explorations Inc. was taken over in 1998 by CGX Resources Inc. to form the oil and gas exploration company CGX Energy Inc., McIntyre ceased being a director. McIntyre was a strategic advisor for CGX in 2000 through 2003.9 McIntyre is a former mining executive; prior to 2003 he was an officer or director of several small public mineral exploration companies.
