Quote of the week – Myles Allen's "failure to communicate"

Keep your eye on the pea folks… Notice that I’ve hidden the pea whilst simultaneously changing the message that there is nothing to see here folks; we educated elite will protect you poor bored saps by taking charge and managing world your these confusing issues behind your stupid backs, just give us your money and freedom for you. All the while he’s thinking, “Move along now you silly trusting fools, They’re going to give me Craggy Island off of Ireland’s coast as my private kingdom”.

Great one David! I always love a pre-emptive tactic! Especially since the trollies are always trying to disrupt, delay and confuse, or is that delude? Glad I didn’t have coffee in my mouth at the time.

In Reply to JerOme’s comments:
Myles Allen is part of the cover-up, a member of the propaganda team. Climate change is becoming very interesting, as Western governments have reached the limit of deficit spending. The green scams will bankrupt the Western world. Intelligent socialists and environmentalists are become aware of climategate and the green scam. The end is near for the green scam team. Increases in atmospheric CO2 is beneficial to the biosphere. There will not be dangerous warming. The socialists want money spent on health, education, parks, social programs, and so on. Watch for the point when politicians start to look for scapegoats.
Science, common sense, employment, environmental protection, and so, is on the side of the so called “skeptics”. It is truly astonishing that billions upon billions of dollars has been spent on the green scams.

I like to hear how ‘reasoning’ CAGW believers think, so I filled it through to the end. There was the money shot: Professional Climate Communicators [ie his current audience] are likewise dying out. Because Climate Change has become boring. But the question we’ve got to ask ourselves is, maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe the idea of selling this as something people are going to deal with as some sort of great collective action enterprise was never going to work. That actually, the way it’s going, the whole Climate Change issue, will be played out by professionals, largely leaving the public out of the picture. That’s sad for democracy, but it may ultimately be the best for the planet. His self-satisfied smirk after saying that tells me that is his main, and most important, message.”
William,
Climate change may be boring as there is no real change to discuss. Billions of dollars that are being spent on green scams by governments that have reached the limits of deficit spending is interesting. Climate gate old and new is interesting as the manipulated data is used to promote the scam. The blatant blocking of research papers that do not support the scam is about to end. Scientists have and will start to back track to protect their reputations and careers. Scientists unlike politicians and corporate executives pay a price for data manipulation and cover ups.
Fortunately, for the Western world free speech, intelligent people, and the internet will protect the Western world from the “green” scam. Climategate is the blatant manipulation and cherry picking of data to create the hockey stick to push an agenda, followed by manipulation of the scientific process to block the scientific exposure of the scam.
The extreme AGW paradigm is based on a lie.

Why Climategate is so distressing to scientists
by John P. Costella | December 10, 2009
“The most difficult thing for a scientist in the era of Climategate is trying to explain to family and friends why it is so distressing to scientists. Most people don’t know how science really works: there are no popular television shows, movies, or books that really depict the everyday lives of real scientists; it just isn’t exciting enough. I’m not talking here about the major discoveries of science—which are well-described in documentaries, popular science series, and magazines—but rather how the process of science (often called the “scientific method”) actually works…
…The best analogy that I have been able to come up with, in recent weeks, is the criminal justice system—which is (rightly or wrongly) abundantly depicted in the popular media. Everyone knows what happens if police obtain evidence by illegal means: the evidence is ruled inadmissible; and, if a case rests on that tainted evidence, it is thrown out of court. The justice system is not saying that the accused is necessarily innocent; rather, that determining the truth is impossible if evidence is not protected from tampering or fabrication.
The same is true in science: scientists assume that the rules of the scientific method have been followed, at least in any discipline that publishes its results for public consumption. It is that trust in the process that allows me, for example, to believe that the human genome has been mapped—despite my knowing nothing about that field of science at all. That same trust has allowed scientists at large to similarly believe in the results of climate science…

What is the ‘Hockey Stick’ Debate About?
“… At the political level the emerging debate is about whether the enormous international trust that has been placed in the IPCC was betrayed. The hockey stick story reveals that the IPCC allowed a deeply flawed study to dominate the Third Assessment Report, which suggests the possibility of bias in the Report-writing… …The result is in the bottom panel of Figure 6 (“Censored”). It shows what happens when Mann’s PC algorithm is applied to the NOAMER data after removing 20 bristlecone pine series. Without these hockey stick shapes to mine for, the Mann method generates a result just like that from a conventional PC algorithm, and shows the dominant pattern is not hockey stick-shaped at all. Without the bristlecone pines the overall MBH98 results would not have a hockey stick shape, instead it would have a pronounced peak in the 15th century. … …Of crucial importance here: the data for the bottom panel of Figure 6 is from a folder called CENSORED on Mann’s FTP site. He did this very experiment himself and discovered that the PCs lose their hockey stick shape when the Graybill-Idso series are removed. In so doing he discovered that the hockey stick is not a global pattern, it is driven by a flawed group of US proxies that experts do not consider valid as climate indicators. But he did not disclose this fatal weakness of his results, and it only came to light because of Stephen McIntyre’s laborious efforts…. ….Another extension to our analysis concerned the claims of statistical significance in Mann’s papers. We found that meaningless red noise could yield hockey stick-like proxy PCs. This allowed us to generate a “Monte Carlo” benchmark for statistical significance. The idea is that if you fit a model using random numbers you can see how well they do at “explaining” the data. Then the “real world” data, if they are actually informative about the climate, have to outperform the random numbers. We calculated significance benchmarks for the hockey stick algorithm and showed that the hockey stick did not achieve statistical significance, at least in the pre-1450 segment where all the controversy is. In other words, MBH98 and MBH99 present results that are no more informative about the millennial climate history than random numbers. …”
