So the AGW guys have not publically released the “temperature adjustment algorithms” they use to calculate global mean temperatures - and algorithm important enough to either make the 1990s and 2000s the hottest decades in the past century, or to make the 1930s the hottest decade on the past century.

By definition, what they were doing was not science. The scientific method requires open, peer reviewed experimental design and results, thus allowing for validation or falsification by competing and/or complementary experimentation.

Exactly. If you (or I) can make "algorithmic adjustments" to the data... Well h*ll, then we can prove anything we want.

Not only do the GW alarmists have to prove the validity of their data. (precision and accuracy) They must also provide viable research and justification for adjustments. Preferably, these adjustments would "work" and match historical data when run forward or backward through time.

Until then, their so-called proof of GW and its causes is just so much wild-a$$ guessing.

Bingo!

I just read “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!”. Feynman was one of the physicists at Los Alamos during the development of the A-bomb, and is just an all around interesting character.

Feynman would have been horrified by the lack of transparency in the AGW Alarmist’s so-called “work”.

What the AGW Alarmists are doing, is pure Cargo Cult Science, with an agenda, using Feynman’s terms.
