no I find them superficial. You have grasped on to 2 straws to make your
case and you cling to them fervently. It is you that doesn't want to hear
why your stats don't mean much.

Stop projecting Clark. You are the one who pretends they weren't posted.
Maybe you should read one.

Jones and Mann know all of the answers, just ask them.

The climate issue went from research to political and it wasn't the
politicians who turned it political it was the "scientists" who made it
political. Once it became political the politicians seized the climate
issue and did what politicians do and figured out how to tax it.

The whole climate issue is political regardless of what you say, what
the politicians say and what the "scientists" say. The UK MET's office
offer to have a do-over but still hanging onto the old data is a bit
funny. It is akin to we didn't screw up but, we will do it over again.
The biggest problem the UK MET office has now is that they want to use
UEA's CRU to perform the do over.

UPenn and UEA's CRU should shutdown their climate research organizations
for the good of science. The work product from both organizations will
always be looked upon as having being manipulated, this will go on far
into the future. Reputation is important and these two organizations
have completely and totally lost their academic, scientific and public
reputations.

Really? I'll bet you both polar ice caps are still there. What do you
base the intensity of storms response on? Last year was pretty quiet.
Seems to me there is a high pressure cell sitting over north america
during hurricane season that deflects the hurricanes the last few
years. If global warming gave us that, all I can say is THANKS!

Made political by those who opposed it on grounds of perceived cost to
them.

Data is data - and what instruments say is the starting point you cannot
fudge or deny. There are eight or more independent models based on
different sets of data, and the funny thing is they all point to exactly
the same trends.

You know absolute zero about science. You don't even know that Mann is
at Penn State, not UPenn, for God's sake. You accuse others of making
this a political issue, and thn you adopt a position based solely on
politics. Where I come from, that is called hypocrisy. Give it upa nd
move on - you are making an idiot of yourself with this.
