Provenance of the surface temperature graph of doom.

“So what the hell did Tim do?!! As I keep asking.” The IPCC blessed the results of Hadley-CRU. Hadley-CRU blessed the results of the religous fanatic PhD student Tim Mitchell, and, as is clear from the Harry Readme file, no one checked how Tim produced these remarkable results. Harry, in what is now the world’s most studied document on global warming, the Harry_Read_Me.txt file, asks “So what the hell did …

Climategate 3

You have seen the worst of the climategate emails “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick … to hide the decline” But there are over a thousand emails. What is the typical average email like?  Download them. Are most of them just showing good honest scientists industriously at work doing real science? Here is a random sample. I selected the emails at random and entered them in this post before looking …

Winning on Climategate

The mainstream media is reluctant to report Climategate, except that evil hackers have stolen private emails in a vain attempt to create to cast doubt on a dire emergency that creates an urgent need for a massive transfer of power and wealth to a centralized one world government. Rasmussen polls, however, indicate that the vast majority of voters are aware of the general situation – not because they have been …

What is wrong with Wikipedia

Wikepedia’s rules innately and inherently create bias. One is required to source stuff, not in reality, not in what is observable, but in what respectable authority says, which necessarily excludes Climategate from Wikipedia. Evidence based data is “original research”, thus the scientific approach is forbidden. To present the actual science, rather than the “consensus”, is a violation of Wikipedia rules Thus, for example, respectable authority does not like anything that …

Nullius in Verba

Checking the Royal Society website I find that the old translation, “take no one’s word for it”, which had mysteriously disappeared from the website, has mysteriously returned. But That it demands that evidence be presented by one side is rather less impressive if it continues to object to the other side also presenting evidence.

Climategate 2

The climategate letters, programs, and datafiles show a systematic and repetitious pattern of hiding and falsifying inconvenient data, cherry picking, self deception, and replacing peer review with theological review of the holy synod.  It is worth examining particular incidents from this sorry story in detail. When considering one particular such incident, you should keep in mind that each such incident is not an isolated bad apple.  Rather, the climate gate …

climategate 1

“Hide the decline” In this scandal, we see antiscientific attitudes of the IPCC, the big government branch of the big science conspiracy Hadley CRU, a coalition of big government and big science to take control of your life, with the intent of preventing you from making a living in an “unsustainable” way. And if the earth cannot support so many people “sustainably”, that is your problem, not their problem. The …

Nailing the coffin lid shut on warmist alarmism

Constantinople has summarized the debate for me in private email. People in authority are reading the blogs, and acting on them, but we are seeing the warming alarmists making the “just one sexed up graph” argument – similar to the argument that Uri Keller only bent some spoons with his hands, but all the other spoons he bent with is mind shows he really is magical, and Chomsky only made …

Bishop Hill’s list of interesting Hadley CRU files

Bishop Hill has a list of Hadley CRU files he finds particularly interesting.  They are mostly good stuff but have zero overlap with the files I find particularly interesting.  It is going to take a while to digest sixty two megabytes.  It will be some time before we realize what of this revelation truly matters. To me, the relevant question is not whether global warming true, but whether alarmists been …
