To pretend that politicised science does not exist is to be naive. To state as a religious conviction that man-made CO2 is causing global warming is little different to the religiously expressed beliefs by politically correct media that Brexit would not happen or that Trump could not win. Climate “scientists” and their gullible followers need to remember that all beliefs can only exist in the space of ignorance.
I dislike algorithms for “calculating” an artificial “global temperature” by “adjusting” and “weighting” raw data to suit pre-conceived notions of what final result should be. It gets worse when the “adjustments” about past temperatures are variable and are themselves “adjusted” every year. The reports about every year being hotter than the last are actually just a statement that “adjustments” every year are greater than the last.
I reproduce Tony Heller’s post about the US temperatures in realclimatescience:
NOAA Adjustments Correlate Exactly To Their Confirmation Bias
Thermometers show the US cooling since about 1920, but NOAA massively cools the past to create the appearance of a warming trend.
These adjustments make a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering.
When plotted against atmospheric CO2, the correlation is almost perfect. NOAA is tampering with the data exactly to match their theory.
