So fraud, deceit and misconduct are normal procedures for government sponsored scientists ? That may explain how we got trillions in debt.

Hmmmm -— lemme see now. Auditors, science, accountants, lawyers -— ?

How about SCIENTIFIC TESTING?

Yep. Let’s take good ‘ol CHON. You know, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and who can forget Nitrogen!

Now comes the test: Name one living thing that does NOT contain CHON. Audit that!

Give up? Thought so!

And to think that a mere 400 ppm CO2 has supplied almost ALL of the carbon in the amber waves of grain, the fruited plain — . I digress, but I sure would miss those Redwood Forests, coral reefs, oysters on the half shell, and the chance to work my fingers to the bone.

Yep. CO2 is essential for all life.

CO2 is an environmentally friendly gas.

So guzzle those carbonated drinks, because inquiring minds want to know: Are we producing enough CO2?

Read page 3 of the report.

While basically no fraud was found, the conclusion does say, “There are several concerns raised about the quality of the statistical analysis techniques that were used in the Subject’s research.”

Thanks for the link. I did read it, thanks.

The last part of the definition of The Scientific Method requires that the proposed idea be tested.

My research documents that testing has largely been relegated to 1. the two-dimensional method of the Null Hypothesis, or 2. inference based on statistics.

Einstein said it best ( allow me to paraphrase here ) : one can find a lot of evidence for a theory to be correct, but it only takes one test to prove a theory wrong.

I’m from Missouri : Show me an example of a cause and effect test that can be duplicated by peers, worldwide. IF all these test produce the same results, then test the assumptions, variables, etc. in an independent manner.

Re-search the literature yourself and pretend that you are also from Missouri.

If you find just ONE valid cause and effect please be so kind as to send me the reference.
