Hey Ern: Thanks for another good one.
Looks like somebody got caught hand in cookie jar:
“...to get the results that were politically acceptable, us[ed] an earlier version of Cosimo’s algorithm found in a book.
This could not have happened by accident. It shows that they wanted a certain result, and fished around until they found a way to do it. They had to change their calculations from monthly to annually to reduce statistical confidence in the increase they showed, and they used outdated calculations to get the answer they wanted.
This comes from the vaunted Work Group 1 of the IPCC AR4 team....”
Work Group 1 has been referenced in articles as the best “hard” science proving the carbon dioxide causes global warming theory.
hmmmm
Looks like their Hard Science was less than stellar.
