The Activist Economist & the IPCC (Part 1) « NoFrakkingConsensus

First, the IPCC is supposed to be a collection of dispassionate experts. Its website says that it assesses the available scientific evidence in an “objective” manner – and that its work is “rigorous and balanced.”

GHCN v3 A Question Of Quality | Musings from the Chiefio

How many thermometers might read 1 C high for a year? Or 0.4 C high for two years? And never be ‘outed’ by the “QA” code?

We just don’t know.

But we do have a very suspicious “onset” of the ramp in warming right at the time the electronic systems are rolled out (found by two folks using entirely different methods) and long after CO2 had been increasing for decades.

IMHO this is more than enough of an “issue” to put some Liquid In Glass thermometers in selected locations to “Guard the Guardians”… ( from Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? )

We are, in essence, fully dependent on some rough sieve computer programs checking some occasionally insane automated data entries to determine if there is Global Warming, or not. I find that inadequate.
