‘Fudging, massaging, or outright manufacture of experimental data.
Inappropriate, and statistically invalid, culling of experimental data, such as the intentional exclusion of experimental runs which contradict the hypothesis the scientist is trying to demonstrate, or excessive filtration of noise which suggests a correlation where none can be shown to exist.’
All of the above clearly occurred, with the possible exception of “outright manufacture”. We’ll see how intellectually honest the CRU review is by EAU.
A possibility that a whistleblower dumped the e-mails?
A scientist with a conscience at CRU?
To paraphrase Monty Python, “Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin, Spinnity-Spin!!”
But the liberal AP has no scientific expertise to examine the substance of the fraud and cover up by the warmers, nor do they have the expertise to even understand the science issues, IMO. I would look for a vested interest in the AGW alchemists in order to identify their bias and vested interests.
Given billions $s are being spent to somehow prove that climate change is caused by man, many scientists and politicians stand to benefit by the draconian measures being taken based on a false premise.
Funny that it was the comments in the computer code that was so damaging.
I do some coding (VBA) for my job, and recently I’ve been using the phrase “climate change is a hoax!” in my test msgboxes that I later comment out—and I smile every time. . .
“Entering stage 2: the Fake, but accurate. stage.”
Exactly. This is the back-pedal option #1 - the scientists harbored ‘fleeting doubts’ but ‘the science is solid’.
AP is just testing the cover story.
What evidence of Man made greenhouse emissions? There is, of course, “Mann made evidence” of Global Warming.
The “science” is inconclusive since you a record of 500
years to prove or disprove human caused climate change.
Tree rings show that there was a long period of draught
and heat long before human appearance on earth.
AP ,, where ‘ In Gore We TRust ‘ is gospel.
“Tree rings show that there was a long period of draught
and heat long before human appearance on earth.”
I prefer the ice core records. The problem with tree rings is their growth is sensitive to other things besides temperature such as rainfall and (gasp) CO2 concentration.
“exhaustive review by The Associated Press.” = skimmed White House talking points/read a couple of blogs on DailyKos.
