What’s missing from every effort in the GW-promoting business is not so much the science but the scientific method. Thomas Sowell has an excellent piece on this in his new “The Thomas Sowell Reader”. It’s mostly about Economics but the point is the same.
I’m going to have to show the sentence ‘Two words: “Math is hard.”‘ to my (math!) classes and see how many get the joke quickly… 🙂
If “the man in the street” understood half of the liberties that these climate scientists have taken with proper scientific methodology, the public support for AGW would be in the single digits.
This is a good reason to learn Math if only to not become a victim of todays climate con artists. I used to hear math was good for nothing. I now see its was a chant devised by con men to bamboozle people that took it to heart.
We do not reflect uncertainty for our estimates or attempt statistical tests because … we tried that and didn’t like the results.
…. Message not getting across…?
I’d say as long as the MSM is repeating every last hysterical comment made by these clowns … their message certainly is getting across.
The problem the warmists have is that only people incapable of critical thinking are buying their bs.
LOL! I would be so fired if I put data analysis like that up to the bosses.

My very best lines are the ones I steal from my commentors.
Stefan, as Clinton said, that depends on what is is.
Math? No, not math. http://youtu.be/kPE53coldFo.
Without an estimate of uncertainty the paper is incomplete. In short, it contains no useable information.

But given the appalling state of climate “science” they may be better off to start here:

In any other field, unbelievable! In climate pseudoscience, not so much.
