I just need to say this one more time about BEST. They intend to make money based on convincing people that CO2 is not clean and is the cause of global warming. They are not trying to find truth, since truth could destroy their charter. They are in fact selling a product which in large part requires taking other people’s money to fund, while making life on earth much more difficult for everyone –except those who receive the people’s money.
The following is a direct quote from the FAQ section of BEST website:
“What is next for Berkeley Earth?
… One key element of this latter program will be to try to forge a new coalition between industry and environmental groups for the use of cleanly-produced natural gas as a bridging fuel to slow global warming over the next few decades – with a particular focus on China.”
Please, anyone, correct me if I’m in error here.
Mario, I think the only ones with little financial interest are the many amateurs who analyze data and post on the various blogs and websites, and even then there’s the opportunity to turn it into a book or career like Dana Nutball did 🙂 . What’s Mosh’s end game? He’s a volunteer now, but he’s well known now job offers will be presented, if they haven’t already been.

My point is that people should know that there is financial incentive to not seek truth. Their statement proves that BEST seeks only proof that CO2 is:
1) pollution
2) causes global warming
If they find any evidence to the contrary, their business model becomes moot.
There can be no cogent discussion with people who have seek a specific outcome as the end game.

Yep, University of Louisville Speed School of engineering I was just a kid and worked in trauma center university hospital……very bad things came our way including a dude who decided to settle his fight with a shootout in our ER. I was better at the academic and physical stuff not knives and guns….

It is a shame that Astronomy is such a cold weather “sport.”
You covered a lot of subjects, but you left out one of my favorites: The AU.
Why do we measure the distance from the Sun in AU?
