	Hockey stick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In climatology, the "Hockey Stick graph" is a nickname for a rising temperature prediction
		A hockey stick is the equipment used to handle a man in ice hockey, field hockey or roller hockey.
		In business a "hockey stick graph" [9] is an absurdly optimistic projection of business growth which is flat for a long time like the handle of a hockey stick and then suddently turns upward like the blade of a hockey stick.

		The “hockey stick” representation of the temperature behavior of the past 1,000 years is broken, dead.
		The “hockey stick” graphic gives the appearance that left to its own devices, nature displays very little in the way of temperature variation, but that during the past century, humans have come along and thrown everything out of kilter.
		In the case of the “hockey stick” this process was turned on its head—the “hockey stick” immediately was held up as the symbol of “mainstream” thought and anyone who did not wholly accept it was labeled as a skeptic.

		MYTH #4: Errors in the "Hockey Stick" undermine the conclusion that late 20th century hemispheric warmth is anomalous.
		The first falsehood holds that the "Hockey Stick" is the result of one analysis or the analysis of one group of researchers (i.e., that of Mann et al, 1998 and Mann et al, 1999).

		On September 16th, 1995, the Stick was dedicated, with much fanfare, to the hockey players of the past, present and future and to the spirit of Hockey in Eveleth.
		To add to the attraction a hockey puck that is 5 feet by 20 inches and weighs 700 ponds was added in addition to a 30 foot high by 80 foot wide mural of a goalie poised to stop the puck which adorns the wall of the local hardware store across the street.
		Utilizing the identical process that is used to build standard size hockey sticks right down to the “pro 1000” logo and “slap sock,” Christian Brothers built the 107 foot Stick of white and yellow aspen with a finishing weight of 7,000 ponds.

	FIELD HOCKEY STICK INFORMATION
		Depending on your preference, the weight may be evenly distributed throughout the length of the stick or concentrated in the stick's toe or head.
		Generally, forwards prefer a lighter stick for quick maneuvering in the circle while defenders often choose a heavier stick for powerful clearing hits and to prevent attackers from casually "pushing" the stick aside.
		The more Kevlar in the stick, the less shock is felt, yet the fibers still allow for flexibility and a smooth "feel" of the ball when hitting and receiving.

		The great irony here is that in many instances the supporters of the hockey stick have often been their own worst enemies and fed the flames of this debate, which now threatens the integrity of all of climate science, and to turn all of climate science into climate politics.
		With the hockey stick established as a symbol it is to be expected that it attracted both support and opposition as a tactic of politics.

	RealClimate » Temperature Variations in Past Centuries and the so-called "Hockey Stick" Variations de ...
		The term "Hockey Stick" was coined by the former head of NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Jerry Mahlman, to describe the pattern common to numerous proxy and model-based estimates of Northern Hemisphere mean temperature changes over the past millennium.
		This pattern includes a long-term cooling trend from the so-called "Medieval Warm Period" (broadly speaking, the 10th-mid 14th centuries) through the "Little Ice Age" (broadly speaking, the mid 15th-19th centuries), followed by a rapid warming during the 20th century that culminates in anomalous late 20th century warmth (Figure 1).
		Use of this term perpetuates the myth that "The Hockey Stick" Reconstruction is based solely on two publications by climate scientist Michael Mann and colleagues (Mann et al, 1998;1999).

		This proposition is most dramatically expressed in the "hockey stick" graph contained in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's third assessment report.
		It should also be noted that the blade of the hockey stick consists of actual temperature readings from thermometers, not the proxies, which themselves do not show nearly as great a spike.
		If true, this conclusion is devastating to the "hockey stick" argument, and we must conclude that 20th century was not unusual at all.

		As is typical of the scientific process, independent teams of researchers have worked to reproduce the results of the "hockey stick" by using their own approaches and even by using slightly different data.
