Now here’s the problem:
Knorr arrived at that figure by relying solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice. He did not rely, as the CRU did, on badly written computer models with built-in fudge factors to direct the data to a foregone conclusion.
Where’s this guy get off actually using real data? It reminds me of a story my younger brother told me about an economics professor he had.
A student asked the professor if he ever tried to apply his theories. The professor answered “Once, but the results weren’t what was expected so I quit doing it.”
"Sure, it works in practice, but does it work in theory?"
