Mike Wallace is a hydrologist with nearly 30 years’ experience, who is now working on his Ph.D. in nanogeosciences at the University of New Mexico. In the course of his studies, he uncovered a startling data omission that he told me: “eclipses even the so-called climategate event.” Feely’s work is based on computer models that don’t line up with real-world data — which Feely acknowledged in email communications with Wallace (which I have read). And, as Wallace determined, there is real world data. Feely, and his coauthor Dr. Christopher L. Sabine, PMEL Director, omitted 80 years of data, which incorporate more than 2 million records of ocean pH levels.
Feely’s chart, first mentioned, begins in 1988 — which is surprising as instrumental ocean pH data has been measured for more than 100 years since the invention of the glass electrode pH (GEPH) meter. As a hydrologist, Wallace was aware of GEPH’s history and found it odd that the Feely/Sabine work omitted it. He went to the source. The NOAA paper with the chart beginning in 1850 lists Dave Bard, with Pew Charitable Trust, as the contact.
Wallace sent Bard an email: “I’m looking in fact for the source references for the red curve in their plot which was labeled ‘Historical & Projected pH & Dissolved Co2.’ This plot is at the top of the second page. It covers the period of my interest.” Bard responded and suggested that Wallace communicate with Feely and Sabine–which he did over a period of several months. Wallace asked again for the “time series data (NOT MODELING) of ocean pH for 20th century.” Sabine responded by saying that it was inappropriate for Wallace to question their “motives or quality of our science,” adding that if he continued in this manner, “you will not last long in your career.”
Emphasis mine. I’ll leave it to you to guess how it ends. (h/t TimR)
I am noting the same behavior in these “settled science” scientists as displayed by those IRS people…..naked abuse…
Like all liberal leftistss journalists mike Wallace is a leftists propegandists like the rest of the news media like Dan Blather,Tom Brokejaw and BaBa WaWa trained on how to twist the news for their own leftists slant
now paul, quit proving that you have no comprehension skills, Wallace is a scientist who discovered a glaring omission in other’s work
I think it’s about time for Tax-payers to band together and take these lying POS to court and sue their a$$es off. They can start with mann.
Is it possible you could have read that post and still confuse Mike Wallace the Scientist with Mike Wallace the journalist?
“Sabine responded by saying that it was inappropriate for Wallace to question their “motives or quality of our science,”
Yeah, because questioning things is not what science is about, man! Its about bowing to authority and knowing your place.
Bad as it is, it’s not just the omission of nearly a century’s worth of data. Feely also omitted all the error bars. When added in, the claimed effect disappears entirely.
The comments are as illuminating as the main article. There are times when one is truly wading in slime, as Wallace no doubt felt after such an exchange with a creep like Sabine.
And as noted in the comments, there’s no such thing as acidification of the oceans. At most what’s happening is a slight decrease in its alkalinity. But naturally the warmers want to confuse the ignorant with images of the oceans becoming acid.
take these lying POS to court and sue their a$$es off. They can start with Mann.

Wasn’t it just the other day that UN Climate Slimeogists wanted protection from litigation?
Yup, and that’s why I posted such. But we need to take the lying individuals to court, not the organizations.

I can only recommend that you demand your money back for the speed reading course you took.
It did not work.
it is time to stop using computer models. they can be rigged to provide any result desired. facts and only facts need to be applied.
