We've had snow the last three weekends. Today it was almost 50 degrees. Should I head for the hills?
What would Al have me to do?
"We called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer. So we scheduled the hearing that day, and bingo, it was the hottest day on record in Washington, or close to it." - Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth ( D., Colo. ) lol:
If you run a quadratic equation it looks like this:
Global Warming = Hot fresh Bull Sheet.
You can't mock him for that, but then mock any hearings that take place in the winter when it snows or is cold... That's having your cake and eating it too.
I have no idea what you have stated here... scientific method would look like this:
1) Form Hypothesis - "Global climate change is not anthropogenic, but a system in chaos."
2) Experiment to gain knowledge that is intended to prove or disprove said hypothesis.
It works the same way for AGW'ers... or are you just complaining that skeptics test data that is intended by AGW'ers to prove their hypothesis?
The Abominable Snowman........
Well scientific method is supposed to work like this: "i'm going to try such and such; my hypothesis is this will happen; then at the end, you give your results"
When you go into something saying "I'm going to find stuff/data that proves this point" it's no longer science, it's actually moved much more towards the fields arguing or debating....you're just looking alone for data that proves your (or the guy paying you's) point of view, not looking for the general, neutral "see what happens here"
really the frustration was more towards when this happens; which i do have to say, again, both sides do it....but at times it seems it's a little more seen in the scientists with the senators trying to argue against the whole GW idea
When a bull eats grass and it floats around inside their body for a day or so, it ends up feeding the bull but the leftovers are discharged with vociferous heat and fervor so you end up with a bunch of Bull SHeet.
If you run a quadratic equation it looks like this:
Global Warming = Hot fresh Bull Sheet.
Will the DOJ get involved? Al needs to answer to this. I was just about to post this myself.
Climategate Meets the Law: Senator Inhofe to Ask for DOJ Investigation
Calling Al, where are you?
Sounds familiar.
February, 2010, was the first month since 2007 with sunspots every day according to Spaceweather.com for February 27. A quick check of February 28 confirms the streak. So far there have been only 2 spot-free days in 2010. By comparison there were 260 spot-free days in 2009, and there have been 772 spot-free days since 2004. What this means is that one of the quietest periods of solar activity in recent history may be coming to an end.
The relevance of this is that sunspot activity has been proposed by many, such as Geerts and Linacre , as a possible driver of Earth's climate patterns, including global warming and cooling cycles.
........ Global Warming theory is considered so sacred and settled that until recently any scientist who questioned the tenets of its conclusion that human activity is the primary driver of climate change were subject to all but ridicule and censure. Recent events, including the Climategate scandal and a series of years where global temperature has stayed about the same, have tempered this attitude.
Just over a year ago, just three MPs voted against the Climate Act, with 463 supporting it. .......
But Stringer had done his homework, and through patience and dogged persistence, he began to swing the chairman behind him. Mirroring the collapse in public sympathy for climate science since the scandal broke, the stalwarts so vocal at 3pm were silent by the close.
......... Stringer said scientists make their reputations by proving or disproving what other scientists have done. He forced Jones to admit that contrary to his initial statement, the code wasnt available for independent scientists to test the work. So how can science progress, Stringer wondered.
........ Previously sympathetic MPs were beginning to be more hostile. ............ (from the chair .. Surely scientific integrity on the world's leading global question should be the question. Have you not miserably failed?
The University, in another PR blunder, had objected to a statement from the current IC office that the Climategate emails showed prima facie evidence of criminal activity................
Three hours later, the day closed with three big guns of the scientific establishment and most prominent advocates of warming: former IPCC chair Bob Watson, the Governments chief scientific advisor John Beddington, and head scientist at the Met Office, Julia Slingo OBE. Since the story broke, Watson has been a prominent in emphasising the "Keep Calm and Carry On" message: that the science is untouched, and cannot be questioned.
The three were slightly too chummy and jovial, and seemed unaware of the connection MPs had made: that rotten scientists perhaps mean rotten science.
