89. The source data is not false
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 07:26 AM by karynnj
Have you ever worked on a project using a large amount of data? You are completely distorting that email. Would it have been better not to purchase and add the data from several countries that were not included in the raw data? I have worked with real scientists, with the utmost respect for science and one thing that is consistent is that they all work very work on an initial step to clean the data.

I absolutely do not have a "religious devotion" to climate change - you, however, have pushed one false justification after another. I notice that you completely ignore that you don't have something that can be tested like Pasteur's theories. I actually agree with Senator Kerry' comments on the risks each way. I think that there is no need to prove that the global climate change is 100% certain, even if it had a 1% chance of being accurate, an analysis of the pros and cons would lead me to agree we need to act now. (That's a function of my value system that would assign a very high negative value to the catastrophe that will occur if the theories are right and we pass the tipping point.) NOTE: This is NOT to say I do not find the results compelling, I do.
