A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. Read more here.
You can fool some of the people some of the time, most of the people most of the time, but not all all the people all of the time.
Global warming is the product of institutionalized science, so this “technical error”, or might it be an “administrative oversight”, is quite predictable. It was bound to happen in time. This is one of those events that fit “but not all the people all of the time” description.
AGW, (aka global warming) will collapse from it’s own internal contradictions and this surreality is but the start.
Not a good time be be Green I suspect.
There’s more? No, there’s not more, it’s just a repetition of the previous post, presumably since the previous topic was finished with, but it was felt expedient to recycle it to get the maximum mileage out of a minor event.
As has been pointed out before, an error in one part of a collation of figures elicits immediate howls of outrage from the blogoshphere, but a temperature recording project for ocean waters reveals incorrectly there has been cooling, when there wasn’t. For some strange reason, the blogosphere misses this error, and does not see it as the end of science as we know it, or capitalism for that matter.
SJT,
Still blathering ? You write nonsense.
Louis…you forgot to mention SJT’s guru at realclimate, the mathematician Gavin Schmidt. He was the spokesman for GISS and was quick to blame NOAA, then took a shot at Steve McIntyre for informing GISS by email.
It’s tough when your church starts to fall apart, especially after you have been trumpeting as hard as your ego will allow. Schmidt claimed GISS didn’t have the funds to keep on top of the temperature data. My heart bleeds…that was pretty obvious.
