Yesterday I was talking to my class about presentation of data and cited what I called Tufte's rules: (Edward Tufte is a guru of data presentation) and the first rule is show all the data. Then if you want to leave some out for good and sufficient reasons, cite the reasons and show the before and after results. None of these global warming alarmists did this. They suppressed the data and did other things in their processing to arrive at the result they wanted. If the data didn't point the way they wanted, they added selective data until it did. But don't expect much in the way of consequences. Too many, too powerful, too invested were in on the scam.
