“Huckster” is the key word here. I’ll add a reminder about how the injunction to “follow the money” will help you understand almost everything.

As many people have pointed out, saying “Yes, the earth is getting warmer (or cooler), and that could certainly cause problems, but it’s a natural phenomenon, and there’s little or nothing that we can do about it, anyway” is not going to get you any research grants.

It’s been raining in So Cal in June. And it snowed in Malibu the last two years running. Where’s the global warming? I’d like my money back, please.

Yep.

I was discussing this with a scientist friend who brought up the point of instrumentation. Since we’re only talking about tenths of a degree, he questioned the accuracy of older instruments to even measure that precise. Also, calibration methodology, frequency of calibration, standard placement, etc.

In other words, before digital, how could they even precisely get a valid measurement of 80.1 vs. 80.2.

It’s a combination of some huckster con men who stand to directly profit, scientists who like the way government funding guarantees their jobs, the media which benefits from publishing dramatic stories, political opportunists who use the hype to accomplish political goals and gain power, and recently, people who want to enjoy that sanctimonious, holier-than-thou feeling without submitting to traditional religion.

THAT is perfect. I almost completed that thought when trying to explain the issue to other people but i always got so pissed off thinking about it, I’d lose my train of thought. That part needs to be spread far and wide. It will resonate with many of the useful idiots on this issue.

I think the only cure for this kind of hysteria is memory.

I think you are looking at this the wrong way. The “quiet” clean up is simply a “quiet” cover up. Right now there is not alot of talk about those temp recorders next to A/C units or the ones in the middle of a blacktop parking lot, but they were very strong evidence of invalid data. Well, they quietly correct the recorders, but you can be sure they will not correct the data that they got before, they will simply “correct” the new data to match what they were getting. How many times have they changed those temp numbers so far anyway?

One less thing us crazy Global Warming disbelievers can use as ammo against them.

I don’t know anyone who remembers the global warming scare of the 50s, though this Frank Capra video is a wonderful example of it.

Amazing. The only thing missing is the stranded polar bear.

The other data set which is suspect comes from the Ex Soviet Union.

Before the fall, they had a fairly comprehensive system of weather stations, but it went into disrepair after the Sov Union and Warsaw pact fell apart.

We really don’t know how realible that information is… and as the Sov Union covered a LARGE part of the Eurasian landmass… well…

Garbage In? Garbage Out…

I could use some global warming right about now. We had to crank up the furnace again. The propane deliver guy came by yesterday to let us in on their summer fill up discount price. Only $1.55 a gallon. My husband thinks the garden froze to death last night. Ah, springtime in the rockies.
