Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Hot on the heels on the possible identification of the Climategate leak, comes this delightful smackdown of heretical proportions:
India Forms New Climate Change Body
Yes, I know…still towing the AGW line. But wait for it….
India has established its own body to monitor the effects of global warming because it “cannot rely” on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group headed by its own Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr R K Pachauri.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Climategate vs the search engines
There’s been a lot of talk about Google seemingly trying to hide climategate search results. You can read more about this at Soylent Green.
I’d posted an over there illustrating what I’d found searching google (that image is under the fold). Some people began talking about Bing, Microsoft’s new search engine.
I’m certainly no fan of Microsoft but they clearly win this round.
Prove it
I ran across a discussion yesterday regarding Sean Hannity saying that this year was cooler than any year in recent history. The initial discussion started by essentially calling Hannity a liar and a moron because “the science was clear”. The obvious first response to this was, “Yes, but your science is flawed and corrupt.” I’m not going to bother linking to the discussion directly as I don’t think it is really relevant. The very same type of discussion can be found pretty much anywhere you look.
So currently, here is where we stand: We have two separate (known) incidences of intentional fraud coupled (or caused by) corrupt or just plain shitty original datasets. Pretty much all of the AGW studies have one aspect in common: they all refuse to “show their work”.
Studies have shown that too much text is boring and people tend to skim over it without reading. Adding images is said to help focus the reader.
I’m going to show my work. Currently, 100% of the known studies “proving” AGW theories have been shown to be corrupt (both the Hadley CRU and New Zealand studies). What these studies have in common, aside from “proving” AGW, is that they refused to release their original data or methodologies. So, lets apply what we now know to the rest of the AGW studies. We can hypothesize, based on our current data, that studies that refuse to release their initial data or their methodologies used to arrive at their conclusions are frauds and/or corrupt. All of our currently available data shows this to be fact.
I’ve made my hypothesis, revealed the data I used in my experiments, and explained my conclusion. So if there’s anyone out there that would like to “prove my theory wrong”, you actually have an opportunity to do just that. However, I also require that you follow these simple rules of science when you attempt to prove it.
So, the answer to AGW followers is simple: Prove it. Nope, sorry you cannot go grabbing more studies and graphs where the initial data and methodologies have been kept secret as I’ve just proved that those are fraudulent.
I’m a drunken redneck with a high school education able to put this together within minutes of climbing out of bed and I’ve still not yet had my coffee. Science really isn’t that fucking hard.
The Science is Settled
Most likely, this summer’s Gulf dead zone will blanket about 7,980 square miles, roughly the same size as last year’s zone, Scavia said. That would put the years 2009, 2008 and 2001 in a virtual tie for second place on the list of the largest Gulf dead zones.
The 3,000 square miles is one of the smallest measurements of the zone since measurements began in 1985, according to a graph in a news release sent from a research vessel in the Gulf. Only those in 1987, 1988 and 2000 were smaller.
You know, honestly, at some point we’re going to have to realize that most of these “scientists” don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.
