Two comments on "Naturally trendy?" by Rasmus E. Benestad

Publication of the article Cohn T.A., and H.F. Lins, Nature's style: Naturally trendy, Geophysical Research Letters, 32(23), art. no. L23402, 2005 triggered stormy discussions on the internet on climatic blogs. In these two comments it is maintained that standard climatic statistics are incorrect and that the work by Cohn and Lins and its discussion will lead to more correct statistical methods and more consistent statistical thinking.
