Real scientists don’t “adjust” the raw data, much less do it based on preconceived ideas. They also don’t build computer models and adjust the variables until the model shows what they wanted it to show. Even though the model never has aligned with past data and the changes to the variables make it align even less. “Consensus” was not a term I EVER heard was a basis for scientific inquiry prior to the AGW scam.
The AGW Accolytes have painted themselves into a corner. Over 10 years of global warming brainwashing in schools, TV shows, Movies, political hearings, corporate mandates and mass media productions. They cannot give it up. They cannot make the switch to global cooling. They will go down with their Global Warming ship.
