Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote:And they are all fudging their data. Cause you can do that. It's not like there is a process of peer review or a highly competitive market for getting published in these prestigious science journals whose credibility is necessarily contingent on the content of their pages.


You have a programming background. Can you fudge the data behind a program? Is that something that can happen? Or will the program simply not work correctly if not coded correctly? You can't lie via science. It's mostly math. All there in black and white. There is no where to fudge anything and furthermore no reason to.
 

Peer review checks for obvious errors, poor wording, and missing references (and you'd better reference all of the related papers of the reviewers). Peer review does not vet computer programs used in the research, and unless the paper disagrees with the viewpoint of the reviewer, the quality of the research is not questioned. You assign far too much value to peer review.


 

And yes, one can easily fudge the data behind a program, or even fudge it inside a program. The following example is from CRU, not NASA. CRU is as highly regarded as NASA in the field of Global Warming Climate Change.

Apply a VERY ARTIFICAL correction for decline!!

yrloc=[1400,findgen(19)*5.+1904]
valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,-0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,$
2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor

APPLY ARTIFICIAL CORRECTION

yearlyadj=interpol(valadj,yrloc,x)
