|a Climate science yields increasingly-stronger scientific results, but obscured by an ever-louder anti-science PR campaign, of which a key part remains the 2006 ―Wegman Report,‖ led by Edward Wegman. It was heavily promoted to the US Congress by Representatives Joe Barton (R-TX) and Ed Whitfield (R-KY) as ―independent, impartial, expert‖ work by a team of ―eminent statisticians‖ to analyze the climate ―hockey stick.‖
Although problems were clear upon its release, to this day some still reference it positively or even authoritatively:, such as:
Recent books, a quick sample: US (6), UK(2), Canada(1), Australia (1)
Submissions (6) to UK Parliament, February 2010, on ―Climategate‖
Websites and blogs, including some with large, worldwide readership
Steady streams of articles, one recently in a real statistics journal
In 2009/2010 Canadian blogger ―Deep Climate‖ (DC) discovered some serious problems, starting with plagiarism. That inspired my longer investigation, which kept growing as interconnected problems multiplied, starting with basic scholarly practice, requiring little specific knowledge. |
