"We are an independent, non-political, non-partisan group. We will gather the data, do the analysis, present the results and make all of it available. There will be no spin, whatever we find."

Fine! If that's your goal, it's commendable; however, be prepared to discover the AGW "consensus" is wrong!

Open-sourcing the science sounds good, but Berkeley is literally the last place on earth where I would look for scientists who are capable of being “non-political, non-partisan.” In fact, those are exactly the words I would expect from hyper-political, hyper-partisan warmists attempting to disguise their leftist agenda.

“This latest point is where Muller faces his most delicate challenge. To concede that climate sceptics raise fair criticisms means acknowledging that scientists and government agencies have got things wrong, or at least could do better. “

So his career will be toast if he comes up with the “wrong” answer.

Muller says that the earth has warmed 0.75 degrees Celsius, cor about 1.5 deg Fahrenheit since the 1700’s . To put this in perspective, we are two hundred years past a period referred to as “the mini- ace age”. Some warming trend. It’s hardly a reason to let a screaming claque of political radicals to push society into turning out the lights on Western Civilization.

Richard Muller of the Berkeley Earth project is convinced his approach will lead to a better assessment of how much the world is warming.

I really really have no respect for incompetent reporting. The above is the caption under Dr. Mullers photo from the link.

The world-wide controversy has never been about whether the world is warming, or even by how much.
It has been about the role civilization, specifically industrialized advanced countries, contribute to it.

Can any normal person clearly see that in the headline? Or is perhaps a substantial naked bias showing?

Dr. Muller, a most respected scientist and teacher is, by association, suggested by the writer to be aiming at supporting the Great Global Climate Conspiracy.

I suspect the Global Hysterics are in for a huge surprise.
Much more on this later.

I smell a set up. Anthropogenic global warming is an unfalsifiable hypothesis anyway.

Well, what are the odds that a Berkeley leftist will not find that there is global warming, and that it is caused by man? Pretty much zero.

Socialists must get control of industry. They still hope against hope that they can persuade people, using a new “independent” source, that AGW is a problem and we can solve it, if only we take control of EVERYTHING. All carbon emitters. All life forms. All industry. It’s the ultimate in tyranny.

Yes, this new “independent” investigation will find that AGW is real and it is a threat, and we can solve it by taking control of EVERYTHING. Trust us.
