Consensus Is Meaningless In Science — It's All About the Data

SEE HERE Now that we know so much more about the "true believers" in global warming, climate change we know that the so-called consensus was manufactured and largely untrue. We also see many of the scientists with a shred of integrity jumping ship as the degree of the fraudulent science is revealed and the unethical behavior is exposed.

The whole thing is a scam and serious scientists are increasingly concerned about the damage that has been and is being done to the credibility of science. Science is all about the data. Science is also transparent. If you can't get the data then it might as well not exist and perhaps it doesn't. Real scientists publish their data, they don't fudge it or manufacture it or make up fake effects to get the results they want. Increasingly what "real climate scientist" means is that you're a government flack taking money to produce a preconceived, agenda driven result.

One interesting things is the comments in the attached letters which are mostly alarmists reciting the mantras.  When all the comments sound like the same sorry talking points you have a pretty good idea that the folks reacting are just trolls.  It is true that Michael Mann has been white washed but it is also true that his hockey stick is bad science and phony analysis.  So what does it mean that he's been cleared?  Does it mean that he's too stupid to know his own analysis is phony.  I suppose stupidity is a defense.
