Other scientists invading your space? Pompous assholes like you are the problem, not this. Is this a cheesy abuse of statistics? Yes. However, its kind of cute and fun for an audience of phycisists, as it is a plot made in the style frequently used for particle physics plots and then applies the same statistical standard as they use in their experiments to sort of say "Hey, if this was a particle accelerator experiment, we'd have a significant difference!" I hope that creative and intelligent minds from all fields spend some time thinking about climate science, and apply outside techniques! How many climate science jobs in government and academia will be phased out as a result of the Trump administration directing funding away from environmental science? As an earth scientist, you may need a job soon from someone from another field of science, would you want the same prejudice against your approach as you propose with this notion of having "other types of scientists are willing to invade our space with bogus analysis"? Grow up.
