Comments on: NOAA Paraguay Data Accusation https://gregladen.com/blog/2015/01/26/noaa-paraguay-data-accusation/ Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:18:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: cosmicomics https://gregladen.com/blog/2015/01/26/noaa-paraguay-data-accusation/#comment-475094 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:18:22 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/?p=20826#comment-475094 Another reason for Greg to be a proud Minnesotan:

“That’s how it happened. It’s thanks to Michele Bachmann.”

(The gift that keeps on giving.)

A new fact check site has been established that deals specifically with misleading science claims.

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/02/michele-bachmann-factcheck-scicheck-inquiring-minds

http://www.factcheck.org/scicheck/

Of relevance here is this debunking:

Nothing False About Temperature Data
http://www.factcheck.org/2015/02/nothing-false-about-temperature-data/

The scicheck site covers more than climate change, but it seems like a worthy addition to one of Greg’s other search engines.

(Dana Nuccitelli has written a book comparing the track record of consensus and climate-change-is-nothing-to-worry-about scientists. The Michele Bachmann inspiration reminded me that God, too, has a track record. Last time Bachmann, Perry, and Romney all consulted with God before announcing their candidacies. If a human had a corresponding track record, no one would trust him. And now Scott Walker is seeking God’s guidance. I see that as a very good sign.)

I would like to show them counterexamples where the raw data were rising too fast and had to be calibrated down. Where can I find some?

(Does the man not realize that it’s HIS own brain that has been tampered with???)

For real entertainment, someone should make a video of the Telegraph’s editorial board watching it one or more times.

In fact, it will just make him believe his own story even more.
