Hans von Storch, 55, heads the Coastal Research Institute of the GKSS Research Centre in Geesthacht and is considered one of the pioneers of computerized climate statistics.
hmmm von Storch commented in this very blog that there had been rather a muted response to his paper (http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/climate_change/000219scientists_and_the_p.html).

  Hans von Storch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans von Storch (born 1949 in Nordfriesland) is a German climate scientist.
Von Storch drafted and circulated an editorial on the new regime, but following the publisher's refusal to publish it he resigned four days before he was due to start his new position [3].
Von Storch later told the Chronicle of Higher Education that climate science skeptics “had identified Climate Research as a journal where some editors were not as rigorous in the review process as is otherwise common.”[4]

 Models may underestimate climate swings - 30 September 2004 - New Scientist
The findings by Hans von Storch from the GKSS Research Institute in Geesthacht, Germany and colleagues are provoking a heated dispute.
To reach their controversial conclusion, von Storch and colleagues used a sophisticated computer model to simulate the Earth’s climate over one millennium.
Next von Storch’s team tried to reconstruct, from this noisy data, the temperature in the northern hemisphere for each year of the 1000-year simulation.

The latter article had been preceded by a paper by Hans von Storch (climate specialist at the GKSS Research Center in Geesthacht near Hamburg - not a climate sceptic), et al, in Science, October 2004, with a similar message.
Hans von Storch went even so far as to qualify the hockey stick as 'Quatsch' (rubbish).
Von Storch believes that Michael Crichton's best-seller book 'State of Fear (Harper Collins Publishers, New York 2004) provides an accurate description of the interaction of scientists, governments and mass media in climate policy.

 Climate Audit - by Steve McIntyre » von Storch at Boulder
Hans also observed that the last time he was at NCAR, there were only ten people in the audience, suggesting that this was because of the political sensitivity the topic has acquired.
Offered as support for the adequacy of the scientific method, Hans mentioned Spencer & Christy’s result on atmospheric temperature, how the disagreement with surface temperature trends caused the NAS to convene a panel of experts, and how that panel was able to demonstrate a reconcilation of the surface and satellite records.
Hans did not mention anything about public opinion, he did say his view was a personal one, not backed by rigorous data.

In a commentary on Dr. von Storch's paper, T. Osborn and K. Briffa, prominent paleo-climatologists from the University of East Anglia, stressed the importance of the findings.
von Storch is one of many critics of Michael Mann's hockey stick.

 VON STORCH, HANS - CIRS
His scientific interests are statistical analysis (especially transfer functions relating large-scale climate to local features, identification of modal structures in geophysical fields; data driven simulations), simulation of regional climates and pathways of matter, paleoclimatic modelling, and transfer of knowledge from natural sciences to the public arena (in cooperation with social and cultural scientists).

Von Storch disagrees with Mann about the degree of variability in past temperatures before the present warming.
Mann’s research finds little variability; von Storch argues that there was more.
Oddly, the McIntyre incident is not an anomaly, according to Kevin Trenberth, head of the climate analysis section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

and von Storch (interestingly "stork") is identified as the founder of the German school of duck research.
Von Storch sure is an interesting figure in all this.
However, boiled down: von Storch did simulations in his climate model with pseudoproxies all of which had a high (0.3-0.7 correlation to gridcell temperature) and none of which had nonclimatic factors (”bad apples”).

 Climatologists Reject Media Claims of Global Warming Consensus - by Alan Caruba - The Heartland Institute
Indeed, back in November 2004, German climatologist Hans von Storch, director of the GKSS Institute for Coastal Research (IfK) in Geesthacht, Germany, foresaw that claims of alarmist consensus would be made by non-scientists and even some scientists.
Von Storch, who has yet to side with either alarmists or skeptics, warned, "We need to respond openly to the agenda-driven advocates, not only skeptics but also alarmists, who misuse their standing as scientists to pursue their private value-driven agendas."
Noting the propensity of large media organizations to echo the alarmists' claims, von Storch wrote, "Judgments of solid scientific findings are often not made with respect to their immanent quality but on the basis of their alleged or real potential as a weapon by 'skeptics' in a struggle for dominance in public and policy discourse."

 Stoat: von Storch in the blogosphere
I'm not in the habit of stalking him, but I haven't seen him in the blogosphere before (this doesn't count; his page on the CR controversy is worth a read).
If all the skeptics threw their hands up in the air and said "oh all right we admit it: the current T trends probably *are* anthro" then there would be less interest in hurricane trends.
Storch has put comments on both the RP blogs in the past, certainly he posted at Promethius (and you commented) but the most important point was that he explicitly endorsed your statement of the consensus that exists.

But this method could be tainted by a systematic error, according to Hans von Storch, a climate modeller at the GKSS Institute for Coastal Research in Geesthacht, Germany, and his colleagues.
Storch and his colleagues started with a computer model of climate history, and extracted the temperature for specific points in the Northern Hemisphere at particular times.
But Michael Mann, a climate researcher at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, who has carried out the most widely cited proxy-based reconstructions of historic climate variability, says that he already knows about the problems raised by Storch and has tried to take them into account in his calculations.

 Stephen Gloor: A Funny Thing to Say About Global Warming
Hans von Storch published a peer reviewed critique of Manns proxy data analysis and is therefore a darling of the skeptic camp.
Anyway highlighted through the text of the article are such statements as "This warming was followed by a global cooling, thought to be an indication of a new ice age" and "Thus, studies of climate change are bound to be characterized by high uncertainty".
How about von Storch and Stehr's next sentence: "But we are not convinced that present and future climate change will have a significant impact on society and global ecosystems."

 2005 Environmental Index: Ten Years in Review - The Environmental Crackup: Has Doomsaying Met Its Doom? p7
Hans von Storch is among a small but growing number of environmental scientists who are increasingly willing to speak out against the populist abuses of environmental concern.
As von Storch notes in his review, “We can already see that large parts of the public and politicians, in both Europe and the United States, no longer trust many of the knowledge claims advanced by environmental scientists.” Von Storch concludes with an ironic turnabout.
The exception to this trend of declining interest in doomsaying would be Jared Diamond’s new offering, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, which as of press time remains high on the non-fiction best seller list.

Hans von Storch, one of the researchers who had earlier raised questions concerning the hockey stick, agreed with Wegman, stating, "I was a bit disappointed about the comment from the lady from Illinois who said, 'aren't you afraid if you say this, that this would have negative implications on the policy process?'
"I was kind of shocked," von Storch continued.

 Planet Ark : Global Warming Threatens Baltic Sea Marine Life   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
life there is in a very delicate balance," Hans von Storch, a professor at the Institute of Coastal Research in Germany who chairs a group of 80 scientists from 12 nations studying the Baltic, told Reuters.
Higher temperatures are likely to mean more rain and snow in the Baltic region, from Copenhagen to St. Petersburg and where 85 million people live.
Von Storch said the already low salinity meant the Baltic was in many ways a 1,600 km (1,000 mile) long estuary, gathering rivers such as the Torne, Vistula and Oder, rather than a sea.

 sociology - Global warming
A survey in 1996 by Dennis Bray and Hans von Storch of the Meteorologisches Institut der Universität Hamburg generated responses from over 400 German, American and Canadian climate researchers and was reported in the United Nations Climate Change Bulletin.
A new reconstruction by Moberg, et al, published in Nature 433, 613 - 617 (10 February 2005) shows both the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age anomalies (although not by name) and concludes that the temperatures around 1000 and 1100 AD were comparable to those of the 20th century before 1990.
Moberg's results are consistent with those of Von Storch, et al, who conducted a modeling analysis that showed the variability to be about twice as great as previously published [12]Science 306, 679 - 682 (2004).

Other and different criticisms of the hockey-stick are emerging (see, for example, the paper by Hans von Storch and colleagues in the September 30 issue of Science).
Calling the paper “a powerful new work of science”; that would “shiver the timbers of the adrift Chicken Little crowd,” Senator Inhofe devoted half of a Senate hearing to it, bringing in both Soon and Legates to testify against Mann.
The day before, Hans Von Storch, the editor-in-chief of Climate Research—where the Soon and Baliunas paper originally appeared—resigned to protest deficiencies in the review process that led to its publication; two editors soon joined him.
