The article has lots of good links to previous examples of false peer reviews. The EPA, under Obama, was "cooking the books" on their science and they don't want people to be able to question what they did then or in the future. Dems are always such authoritarian liars.

This crap monster of arbitrary and leftist totalitarianism must be gutted this term and put on a sound foundation. The new Trump director can only do so much. The crap Republicans in Congress must step up and hamstring this junk agency and get it in line with voters desires.

When transparency of data will “cripple” your public policy making department, there’s a problem.

Exactly. “Science” under the EPA, and not just under the Obama regime, has been a joke for decades.

They decided what policy they wanted to have, then created “studies” to justify that policy.

If a scientist will not allow you to see their data, they are not a scientist, and the “study” is not science.

The new frontier is Data Analytics, machine learning, big data, predictive analytics, etal. All software depends on subjective pre-suppositions, assumptions.

In politics a basic assumption of some is that the government is the solution to all problems and exists to solve problems.

Others assume the government is the problem, as Reagan so famously observed.

It is amazing how many CDC and NIH studies studies make the first assumption. They postulate out of thin air a “problem”. They state the government must solve the problem. They only question: How to solve the problem?

Watch out for Analytics.

“Watch out for Analytics”

Data science is not based on some desired outcome. Quite the opposite, in fact. Palantir has proven quite adept at generating significant leads based on almost-incomprehensible datasets.

There are many areas where our technology literally exceeds the human mind. The amazing thing is that humans have been able to formulate the structures and algorithms to take advantage of such knowledge. Of course, it’s not 100%, and obviously not everyone is honest, but most engineers and scientists are not leftist sycophants.

There is danger inherent in all man’s undertakings, but it’s not evil in and of itself. All things are good until someone perverts their purpose. As for data science, if you want to opt out, put down your electronics and move somewhere that doesn’t have mail or phone service. Otherwise, your just another entity adrift in a sea of attributes.

Data sets are just data sets.

If you look for stuff in the data that is not there, you chase the wild goose.

Correlate the data with disparate events... Patterns appear...

It’s all spooky stuff

Here's an example: Refusal of request for climate records

It includes this gem"NOAA spokeswoman Ciaran Clayton denies the accusations. She notes that the agency’s study was peer-reviewed and published in a respected scientific journal, and that the agency has provided the committee with temperature data and briefings on the research.

“We stand behind our scientists, who conduct their work in an objective manner,” Clayton says. "We have provided all of the information the Committee needs to understand this issue."

A government agency telling congress what it can and cannot see ! Note there is no national security consideration here.

This Scientist just added Ciaran Clayton to the equation.

Shame??

I presume that your question is rhetorical. If not — No, they’re incapable of shame.

They’ll just find a bunch of crisis actors and pass out some white coats like they did at the Whitehouse promoting socialized medicine.

It’s not spooky; it’s rules. Sometimes correlations are are just correlations, but sometimes there’s a lot more than meets the eye. You want to talk spooky? Look at Stock and FOREX trades prior to major “random” events—some traders are amazingly prescient...

(I’m bouncing this post off of three satellites routed through an anonymize located in former Soviet state. Can’t be too careful these days) LOL
