Isn't part of falsification, recognizing improbabilities of data?, It seems here with this statement the accusation is some unknown, deliberate purpose on the part of a whole lot of people that study climate. What would be their purpose in doing so?, If a common complaint has been predictions, backing off those predictions is a first step to better science is it not?.Ant wrote:
It's about making false predictions and not ever being held accountable for them because falsification no longer matters.

Re: Matt Ridley, "The Climate Wars’ Damage to Science"
I agree, my weatherman should be fired. A week ago, he said there was an 80% chance of rain for Monday morning. Today... no rain. I'm questioning whether or not this Delores tropical storm is just a manmade fantasy or not.ant wrote:It's about making false predictions and not ever being held accountable for them because falsification no longer matters.

Re: Matt Ridley, "The Climate Wars’ Damage to Science"
This article makes me wonder about the models. Ant has repeated many times that they've done poorly. Could that be attributed to cherry picked analyses?
IPCC Models have done much better than you think.

Thanks
EDITED:
The IPPC uses projections to make public predictions (dishonest to say the least). It's part of their propaganda machine.
Note that I'm not saying that projections can not be informative.

This for me is what's so dam maddening, there's so many cherries getting picked, and I'm left wondering who's going to end up with the pie.Interbane wrote:
