Random Politics & Religion #19
Odin.Slore said: » When I am not freezing my *** off buried under snow in Oswego County NY in February I will buy into global warming. We are having a very snowy and cold winter up here. I'd take me some global warming right about now. About 15 miles north of me in Oswego County is a town called Redfield, NY. They got 5 and half foot of snow last week, we got about 2 foot. But you know, that's weather, it ain't climate. And you do know about lake effect snow by now I hope. Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Bahamut.Ravael said: » Name all of the non-politically charged areas of scientific study where you will be attacked for being a fence-sitter because the data and methods aren't robust enough yet. Now do the same for the politically charged ones. See the difference? That attitude bleeds over into the research that the scientists do, like it or not. It's a similar story in business research. When there is absolutely no preference for outcome, there is no bias. When researchers, shareholders, investors, etc. have a vested interested in seeing a preferable outcome, that often affects the results. Research doesn't happen in a vacuum (inb4 astronomy joke). I'm not a "denier" and I'm not an advocate, yet for some reason I'm labeled a heretic for not immediately accepting the results of admittedly flawed, evolving research with a strong political bias (with hard to obtain raw data to boot) this early in the game. That's bull crap. Skepticism also isn't accepting the latest fad of data interpretation as gospel truth just because there's nothing better. If you can't handle a little opposition from someone who actually does research for a living then perhaps, bluntly, this isn't an argument you need to participate in. Aside from that, the last time we reviewed the topic of this "freely available" data it was a convoluted mess and pretty much worthless. If you know of something better that's available now, please share.

Being 15miles from the shore of Lake Ontario, every time we get a NW wind we get buried. Trust me I know.

One of the worse winters of my life was spent in northern Franklyn county. But it was also one of the bests. '94?
The weather was horrid, always under 20, 2' - 3' of snow, and usually a fair bit of wind. I was there to help some young friends, one of who was pregnant. They were all under 30. I could indulge in absolutely guilt free recreational baking. Bake a pie or a batch of brownies, take a watch my weight sized piece, and in less than an hour the whole thing would magically evaporate! /smile /grin And then they would beg me to bake something else!

You absolutely can not question the Gospel as given to them by the high prophets of the Progressive Religion.

Lol what opposition? "Something something bias" isn't a scientific argument and you flat out ignored 95% of the post which had to do with why the corrections were necessary and what led to them. Have you even read the paper or any of the associated material? I do research too and I have no idea where you're even coming from with your skepticism so yeah it comes off fake.
Despite pages of posts and a whole thread dedicated to the topic, I still have no idea what data you're actually asking for which leads me to believe you don't either. The corrected SST record is here along with the related papers that I know I've linked before. If there's an issue in there just say it without falling back on the same tired talking points I always see.

Every single one of us can do more than we are, if motivated. It's largely about a mindset we need to share and teach later generations.  Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Lol what opposition?

One of my oldest friends* has attested to this as recently as last Saturday. *of those who still speak to me. Asura.Kingnobody said: » So, you admit that climate science = alternative facts. Got it

Growing up in the footprint of Lake Effect Snow is a badge of honor. Few people can honestly say they walked uphill to school both ways in 2 feet of snow. I've done it. Literally. Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Asura.Kingnobody said: » So, you admit that climate science = alternative facts. Got it Therefore, you are ok with climate science = alternative facts. I can't wait to see the results of the investigation. I'm pretty sure that it's going to turn out a lot of fraudsters, especially those in California.

Can you even explain the NOAA practices under question and why the actual data is tainted?

Last time Israel had someone reasonable as PM, some unreasonable right wing "settler" shot him.
