Guardian.UK: Climate Priests withdraw journal claims of rising sea levels
-
They committed outright fraud and perpetuated a fear-mongering lie using taxpayer dollars, and broke various other laws in the process. They destroyed science.

Check the legal definition of Fraud.

Wow, from what I can find, the study was at UK, Finish and German Universities - are they being funded by YOUR 'tax dollars' too?

Cheap shot. List them!

In what way? Be very EXACT if you are going to criticise others mistakes.

The question is intent. If they INTENTIONALLY altered the data to support a certain outcome, then it is dishonest, and could be considered fraud, given the financial support and political significance. If they simply made a mistake, then the study should be withdrawn, corrected, and re-released.

Scientists have been forced to withdraw a study on projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding mistakes that undermined the findings. The STUPID PIECE OF SHIT Climate Cultists need whipped with a leather belt. Stomped on, cursed at, spit on, and whipped some more. Filthy slimy pieces of trash. Whip their faces.

The study, published in 2009 in Nature Geoscience,[^] So much for peer review. Of course what is MORE interesting is that it is the Guardian that is running the story. They have been AGW proponents for a long time, Monbiot, the looniest of them all, was their regular contributor of vitriol and diatribe, but he hasnt been heard of since.

They are criminals. When you commit a crime, you've made a mistake.

Does that mean Microsoft has committed a crime every time someone finds a security hole in Windows? Does it mean the weatherman has committed a crime when he says it will be partly cloudy, when it's actually overcast?

Author of Guardians of Xen (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel)Listen, they knew they were fucking lying. They destroyed the data, they made up a load up bullshit, and they attacked any scientist who disagreed with their findings. Capeesh? They need to be fucking whipped with jellyfish laced steel cables.

And we will never know. And we might never know about the CRU data manipulation either. It seems the panel has been exposed as biased. Pity the hearings arent in public.

If you're going to start on the "hide the decline" stuff, I'm not even going to dignify it with a response, as it's already been shown to be a false accusation. Anyway, it sounds to me like they found a bug in their model, and are letting everyone know that the data is invalid and needs to be corrected. That earns them respect in my book, as if they were politicians, they would probably do anything they could to hide the problem until they were no longer responsible for it.

This IS peer review. "He said there were two separate technical mistakes in the paper, which were pointed out by other scientists after it was published. A formal retraction was required, rather than a correction, because the errors undermined the study's conclusion." That's peer review. Other scientists pointing out mistakes so they can be corrected. "One mistake was a miscalculation; the other was not to allow fully for temperature change over the past 2,000 years. Because of these issues we have retracted the paper and will now invest in the further work needed to correct these mistakes." Oh look, they made a mistake. They were corrected by their PEERS. This is science at work. The only difference between this and a million other studies is that this error was caught after publication instead of before. This does not prove GW/AGW, and this does not disprove them. As before, it just confirms that we don't yet know the answer.

Noooooo, peer review is before it gets published, not after.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
So after it gets published, it should be assumed to be infallible? Peer review means getting other people to look at the findings, run their own experiments, and confirm or refute them. It doesn't guarantee that every error is caught. Of course, once it's published, particularly in something as well known as Nature, it'll attract more attention both from the public and from other scientists, giving more opportunities for said scientists to investigate and review the findings. This is science at work. We should be commending Vermeer and Rahmstorf for finding the errors, not lambasting the original team for being human and therefore fallible.

But we should lambast the general lack of effective peer review of papers relating to AGW. Such as the IPCC AR4, which as you nkw know, is riddled with errors.

And Phil Jones's statement after the CRU email exposure is not a similar retraction? After all, he now states the debate is not over and that the recent warming is not significant.

GISS NCDC CRU: Its not a mistake to use 80% less weather stations today than in the 1980s. Its not a mistake to send emails to colleagues telling them to delete raw data. Its not a mistake to use 'tricks' to 'hide the decline'. Its not a mistake for Hansen to adjust decades old data downwards. Yes, they know they are manipulating data to show warming. IPCC: Every 'mistake' in the IPCC AR4 tends towards alarmism. This is stastically imporbable otherwise the mistakes would go either way. So, are they mistakes? Not onky that the scientist bahind the Glacier scam knew the data had been misrepresented in order to make governments take notice. This is an intentional lie.

That's all fine and dandy but if you persist with that attitude the people whose opinions you wish to change will simply ignore you as a foul mouthed ignoramous.
