It is only a ‘theory’ until it is proved otherwise.
And the emails uncovered proved it was based on scientific HOAX.
As a scientist, there are different levels of bad.
1) looking at data and making incorrect assessment. THIS IS NORMAL And EXPECTED and it is why you have peer-review. Everyone can make a mistake. You can fix it and learn something.
2) Ignoring data that does not fit your pre-defined notions or desired conclusions. This is scientific fraud, and you should be fired for it. But other people can see the entire data set and fix it.
3) Deleting data that does not fit the theory that you want.
This is horrifying- because you cannot fix it. The data is gone. Your results are incorrect, but you deleted any data that did not agree, in order to make it look correct.
This forces people to act on incorrect data, spending billions of dollars, on false claims. Doing the opposite of what needs to be done. This should result in jail time.
The scientists that perpetrated the Global Warming (now in new and improved “climate change”) deleted data that did not fit the theory they wanted. And they corrupted the data that they DID have to exxagerate results (the ‘hockey stick’ graph.)
Good post about how you can fudge data and commit fraud in the scientific method.
It would be nice to know if any other planets orbiting a star also have temperature changes. Cause we didn’t do that. We already know the Dinos weren’t burning fossil fuels. Wonder if they blamed their climate changes on each other too...
