Wouldn’t it be nice if CLIMATE scientists took the same approach to their research efforts?
1 - theory
2 - observe nature
3 - evaluate results
4 - revise theory for better fit
5 - go back to (2)

Absolutely. When it comes to GoreBull Warming, all of the ordinary rules get flushed down the toilet.

Instead the climate liars, observing that nature was not echoing their computer-modeled results, revised the observations to fit the theory.

"The detection of strange, unpredicted behavior deep below the surface near the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults suggests scientists have an incomplete understanding of the processes responsible for earthquakes in the region."

They should ask Bill Nye. He knows everything!

Funny thing about science and scientists...

The more they learn, the less they know.

I thought it was global warming... but I guess that’s Trump’s fault, too.

New NASA chief Bridenstine says humans contribute to climate change 'in a major way'

FoxNews/Science ^ | May 22, 2018 | Sarah Lewin

In a NASA town hall yesterday (May 17), NASA's new administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said that he knows Earth's climate is changing, and that humans contribute to it "in a major way," also supporting NASA's research into that important area. The statement is significant because Bridenstine has expressed doubt about human-caused climate change in the past, causing some to question his suitability to lead a fact-focused NASA.

In 2013, as an Oklahoma congressman, Bridenstine claimed there was no current trend toward global warming. More recently, such as in his NASA administrator confirmation hearings last November, he has acknowledged that human activity contributes to climate change. But he had stopped short of saying that humans are the phenomenon's primary cause.

At the NASA employee town hall, Bridenstine described how his thinking had "evolved" on the topic and laid out his current beliefs.

"I don't deny the consensus that the climate is changing; in fact, I fully believe and know that the climate is changing," he said. "I also know that we, human beings, are contributing to it in a major way. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. We're putting it into the atmosphere in volumes that we haven't seen, and that greenhouse gas is warming the planet.

"That is absolutely happening, and we are responsible for it," he added. "NASA is the one agency on the face of the planet that has the most credibility to do the science necessary so that we can understand it better than ever before."

Well, that is the nature of reality. It seems to be infinitely complex. We will probably never get to the ultimate 'truth', if there even is such a thing as 'ultimate truth'.

The first step in your process is “hypothesis,” not “theory.” The theory only comes after mountains of observation and experimentation, and forms the conceptual framework that gives meaning to the process being studied. While scientists do revise theory as they gather more data, formulating a theory is never the first step. Usually, the first step is observational, then hypothesizing, then testable experimentation, then analysis of results, then revisiting the hypothesis and revising as necessary, then experimentation again, etc.

You are correct in that climate scientists do not do this with respect to anthropogenic global warming. Unfortunately, this is a field of pathologic research which does not die because politicians of a certain ilk can use it to further their goals of complete control over the people.

Re: I don't think fracking is mentioned here.

No, but in a review of the piece it will be added in by the MSM. They probably have a series of prewritten paragraphs saved to add to any such article.

No doubt about that. It's how they operate.

As noted by Cooke, geoscientists has previously assumed...

They never learn.
