Over on the thread The folly of blaming the Eastern U.S. heat wave on global warming there is a lively discussion going on between people that think the Eastern US heatwave hype by media and a few activist scientists is just bunk -vs- the defenders of the faith that insist it is a signature of global warming climate change climate disruption. Generally, these defenders are people that only look forward using model projections and pronouncements made by the IPCC, rather than look back at historical data and the propensity for nature to create such extremes, such as the nearly identical weather pattern that led to the 2010 Russian heatwave in which “climate change” was found blameless in a peer reviewed paper by NOAA.
In that thread there’s a comment by Gail Combs in response to the defenders of the faith (typically hit and run anonymous cowards) that I though worthy of elevating to a full post.

The IPCC and the National Academy of Science believe global warming is real and directly related to human activity. Over 95% of Scientist worldwide believe global warming is real and directly related to human activity. If you don’t want to believe it you don’t have to. But I for one am more willing to listen to the conclusions of people who have devoted their education, time, study and energy to this issue than to some guy with a blog……
____________________________________
As a scientist, I KNOW other scientists will lie through their teeth when it comes to money or their career. I have had plenty of direct experience of outright lying and falsification of data. I have also been fired more than once for refusing to falsify data upon direct order from my superior.
My personal experience with the “Honesty” and “Integrity” of scientists is that it is rare, most will go along with the herd or with higher authority rather than stick their neck out.
In my entire career I found only one other person willing to stand up for what was right instead of going along with what was easiest. She was also fired for her honesty. Most people are followers not leaders. I have read somewhere only one in two hundred is actually a leader and to control a group all that is needed is to identify and break that leader. That is what saying there is a “Consensus” and the labeling and denigrating of those who don’t go with the flow is all about. That practice alone should make people wonder about “The Science” Real science is about the quest for truth and facts not following “Authority” not being a member of the “A” list.
Here is the current state of “Honesty” in Science:
…..Survey questions on plagiarism and other forms of professional misconduct were excluded. The final sample consisted of 21 surveys that were included in the systematic review, and 18 in the meta-analysis.
A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified data or results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12% (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices. Meta-regression showed that self reports surveys, surveys using the words “falsification” or “fabrication”, and mailed surveys yielded lower percentages of misconduct. When these factors were controlled for, misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others.
Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct.

Many here at WUWT have a degree in science, engineering or the maths. That is why we smell something very fishy with the IPCC and “The Science”
This is what Forty citizen auditors found when they looked at “the United Nations’ Nobel-winning climate bible.. the gold standard.”
…Contrary to statements by the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the celebrated 2007 report does not rely solely on research published in reputable scientific journals. It also cites press releases, newspaper and magazine clippings, working papers, student theses, discussion papers, and literature published by green advocacy groups. Such material is often called “grey literature.”
We’ve been told this report is the gold standard. We’ve been told it’s 100 percent peer-reviewed science. But thousands of sources cited by this report have not come within a mile of a scientific journal.
Based on the grading system used in US schools, 21 chapters in the IPCC report receive an F (they cite peer-reviewed sources less than 60% of the time), 4 chapters get a D, and 6 get a C. There are also 5 Bs and 8 As…. http://nofrakkingconsensus.com/2010/04/14/climate-bible-gets-21-fs-on-report-card/
Sorry, the more we dig, and look at the data we can get our hands on (as any true scientist is required to do) the more it stinks. “The Team” knows this and that is why the data was not released upon simple requests, Freedom of Information Acts and when push finally came to shove the data was “Lost”

I don’t bet on stuff.
The fortune to be made is in betting on the likelihood of some idiot troll saying something stupid, like “You’re all so sure of yourselves, but you just won’t bet on it.”
Problem in both cases: the payout is not worth the time.
Gail, thanks and well done! I’ll be bookmarking this one.

===========================================
You really don’t pay attention, do you? This post was about how scientist lie. It even gives examples of the temp records being lost and manipulated.
But, I’ll make a personal wager with you using UAH data that 2012 won’t be the warmest year on record. Not that weather has anything to do with climate.

Did I forget to close a tag? My bad. [Fixed. ~dbs, mod.]
On the horses thing: What is the point? Looks like the Netherlands, which is already below sea level. Did a pump break, or did somebody under-engineer the number of pumps?
I am in Gail’s camp. I once had a boss insist that we not report a drinking water sample that was above the limits for contaminants, because the other sample taken was within limits. These decisions can be made at the lowest levels of a company, and no one will ever be the wiser. I left that company soon after that, because of that man.
OT. I wish the sign-up-to-have-comments-forwarded thing would automatically shut off when the troll to human ratio rises above some threshold.
Take away 95% off the funding, & the 95% consensus goes away…
Real solutions are usually simple, if you have the courage to live in reality.

I do not bet not even on horses (my first love) but Piers Corbyn does.
So Piers Corbyn is ready to bet against you. Here is his contact link
Let us know how your bet with Mr. Corbyn comes out.
Astronomy (my field) is fortunately free of fraudulent conduct, with rare exceptions. But there is some thick-headedness about so-called “dark matter”, which represents only the gap between model and observation but is usually thought of as a variant of matter only because of the term “dark matter” — the slenderest of reeds. So now we have CERN talking about chasing dark matter with their collider which is totally pointless and a waste of time.
A more accurate quote would be “97% of actively publishing climate scientists are convinced by the evidence of anthropogenic climate change,” because that’s the only group that even came close to the 95% mark.
From the extract at http://www.wunderground.com/resources/climate/928.asp
Bottom line, for those of us who like actual numbers rather than percentages: the *number* of actively publishing climate scientists who responded “Yes” to the question, “Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?” was —
*insert dramatic drumroll*
— seventy-five. As in, 75.
Yup — they contacted 1,372 actively-publishing, self-identified climate scientists, 79 replied, and 75 said they believed in AGW.
Full report on the “consensus” here: http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf
I wish more people would participate there, especially on the long-term bets. I have.
We’ve already had the predictable UEA ‘scientist’ on the BBC blame our UK summer rains on AGW, of course if I wanted to be alarmist I could point them to historical records from 1315 when it started to rain and continued with heavy summer downpours for the next seven years. Causing famine and massive social upheaval here as well as most of Europe during that period. But then it’s not in ‘our lifetime’ or in ‘the records’ so mustn’t have happened……

And I meant to add that Gail Combs certainly does have that courage to live in reality. We must thank her for that.
*sigh* When I was young, absolutely everybody expected heat waves in the summer, cold snaps in the winter and variable weather in the Spring and Fall.
We still have them, but now the data must be cherry-picked to prove something.
“Be careful. People like to be told what they already know. Remember that. They get uncomfortable when you tell them new things. New things…well, new things aren’t what they expect. They like to know that, say, a dog will bite a man. That is what dogs do. They don’t want to know that man bites a dog, because the world is not supposed to happen like that. In short, what people think they want is news, but what they really crave is olds…Not news but olds, telling people that what they think they already know is true.”
Terry Pratchett through the character Lord Vetinari from his novel, “The Truth”
Thanks, Gail. I’d like to meet you someday.
I’ve mentioned before that I copy/pasted record temperatures for Columbus Ohio into Excel in 2007 and in 2012 and compared them. Here’s they all are. Aside form the 2012 list including a later period, can anyone explain the changes to past records in the period both list cover? (I hope this copy/paste into the comments works. Apologies for it’s legnth.This is just one tab of the spreadsheet.)

…….Unfortunately, they didn’t examine the possibility that the formation of these blocking patterns is linked to changes in Arctic sea level pressure trends (SLP), which alters the behavior of the jet stream. That kind of analysis is beyond what this group considered. They looked for a direct correlation with 2010 sea ice extent, but didn’t consider the recent decades influence of reduced sea ice pack on jet stream patterns.
—–
The odds are very high that the shift in jet stream patterns caused by higher Arctic pressures resulting from reduced Arctic ice (due to polar amplification), caused the duration and intensity of the Russian heat wave.
ssupak – I see that Gayle has already pointed out that Piers Corbyn is not allowed to place bets on the weather any more as he continually won.
Of more interest to Paul K2 is that Piers is forecasting the movement of the jet stream and the associated weather based on solar and lunar effects. If you look at the DMI figures for the arctic temperatures here http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/meant80n.uk.php you will note a marked consistency in temperatures and no ‘arctic amplification’. The amplification only exists in GISS which uses observations from up to 1200km away rather than local data.
Stephen Wilde’s theorizing agrees with Piers Corbyn that much of these temperature changes and blocking Rossby waves are due to the jet streams moving equatorward. This is supported by Dr Tim Ball http://drtimball.com/2012/current-global-weather-patterns-normal-despite-government-and-media-distortions/ who points out that Current Global Weather Patterns Normal Despite Government and Media Distortions.
Nothing to do with ‘reduced arctic ice’ which actually in 2010 was not that reduced.
Gail, that was absolutely brilliant! Jeez, with fraudulence so rife, not only must there be widespread inquiry but prosecution too. This HAS to be turned around. I am not a scientist but I do come from a scientifically-minded family. I was taught to trust research, data, and also science and scientists…
Ahhh… Gail Combs: a scientist who also knows how to get manure onto a fork. (there may be a connection!)
Thanks Gail! Thanks Anthony!
Since it was a few degrees above what they call normal here a few days ago, they screamed global warming. Now that the cold front has passed through and it is a few degrees colder than what they call normal are they going to scream global cooling?
Gail,
I am also a scientist. You make it sound like scientific research is a cesspool inhabited by greedy, self-serving liars. With all that lying it is remarkable that science has unraveled so much of cellular chemistry, for example. Metabolic reactions, cellular protein machinery, signalling pathways, etc have been elucidated to a level that has allowed the knowledge-based design of a whole new wave of wonder drugs. The march of science today is extraordinary and beyond the imagination of humans a mere two centuries ago. And all carried out by lying cheaters. Imagine! Oh wait, I can anticipate your poisoned response already – it is only climate scientists that are liars and cheaters.
Owen,
From my point of view, government is the problem, with its ability to shovel huge amounts of money into government ‘science’. That inevitably leads to corruption, as President Eisenhower stated in his farewell address, 1/17/61:
That has now happened. Doubled and squared.

Of Course there is a connection! We use getting manure onto a fork to teach kids something about PHYSICS. If you do not understand physics you can’t get the manure onto the fork – simple.
(I wonder how many people with physics backgrounds are now scratching their heads trying to figure out the connection)
Smokey,
“Government” science has indeed led to instances of corruption – no argument there. But it has also led to unparalleled success – and American business has for years been the recipient of big science that has elucidated a fundamental understanding of the physical and biological world.
Big money in business has also led to corruption, and on a far large scale that big science. Just look at the financial industries in the past decade – and that debacle cost this country far more than big science has spent.
