…the “bottom line” is that the data have been changed to increase the warming trend. A number of attempts have been made to estimate the changes caused by numerous corruptions.…
Debunking the Myth of a Weakening AMOC: How Geomagnetic Field Changes Skewed the Data
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has long been a focal point in climate change discussions, with many researchers and media outlets warning of its potential collapse as a major…
Counting: Exactly What and Exactly How
If we want any number to be considered scientific, the rules for this specification [“describing or identifying something precisely”] become stronger and stronger – we should consider this requirement paramount.
TOO HOT TO HANDLE: NIWA’s misleading temperature records
“Claimed record after claimed record, there’s evidence that NIWA’s cherrypicked data is being used (and coloured in dark red for the most extreme bits) to bolster the narrative that extreme…
The Verdict of Instrumental Methods
We’re faced once again with the enormity of contemplating a science that has collapsed into a partisan narrative; partisans hostile to ethical practice.
