Comedy Gold: Super-genius Climatologist Phil Jones can't calculate a trend line in excel.

I would suggest Climatologist Phil Jones order a copy of Excel for Dummies.

Via Climate Audit:

Phil Jones spends much of his time looking down his nose at the heathen, but then confesses to Bob Ward that he is unable to calculate a trend on his own, as in this hilarious exchange at Bishop Hill:

I’m not adept enough (totally inept) with excel to do this now as no-one who knows how to is here.

Nor it seems in Matlab, R, ODL, Fortran or any other language.

The full Phil Jones/Bob Ward email string is here.
