Vahrenholt and Lüning, 22 June 2012

Vahrenholt and Lüning misrepresented on 22 June 2012 on their website the scientific content of the paper by Mudelsee et al. 2012 published in Climate of the Past Discussions.


Upon our rectifying note from 24 June 2012, Vahrenholt and Lüning issued an inadequate correction.


We subsequently issued a second note (2 July 2012) where we reported the inadequacy of the behaviour by Vahrenholt and Lüning.


This incidence has been taken up by:

  • An interview of Manfred Mudelsee by Georg Hoffmann on the primaklima website.
  • A report by Toralf Staud on ZEIT-Online. See concluding full email message by Mudelsee to Staud following the interview.
