*I have a “draft” message in my gmail with no addressee that I use to log links to good AGW stories. I’ve not been compelled to put anything there for a few months. This one rises to that occasion.

When I argue this subject on liberal sites, their favorite pictures to use are these very satellite data.*

Very cool!

I love to argue with them. They are SO far out of touch with the science. They believe anything that make it look like humans cause the climate to change.

I wonder how many of them bought carbon credits “on the ground floor” and are trying to convince people before they are worthless.

How did you know I took 1000 pen lasers, taped them all together, and pointed them at the weather satellites as they passed overhead which I tracked on heavens-above.com?

Bush + Cheney obviously sabotaged the satellite.
That can be the only possible explanation.

So much for settled science.

Coastwatch is completely automated so you can see how something like this could slip through.
Horse manure! A carefully designed and properly implemented automated system would have built-in reasonableness checks.

When politically motivated scientists turn their scientific specialty into a religion, then whether the “high priest” standing on the top of the pyramid that day is one of their own or a computer, their religion-cum-science does not question either statements or results, because they have reached the point where true science has ended and they take the oracle of the high priest as an article of faith.

I suggest everyone get, and recommend for inclusion in your K-12 public school curriculum, the book “Longitude” by Dava Sobel. “The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time” http://www.amazon.com/Longitude-Genius-Greatest-Scientific-Problem/dp/0140258795

It is a true story. It is about history, science and the corrupt junction that always takes place between science and ruling political and scientific elites.

It is also a story that parallels in many ways the politics, political corruption of science, political suppression of scientific truth, political agenda of the scientific community to destroy scientific “heretics” that we have seen in the “man-made” global warming fraud.

It is also about how, after it all, eventually truth can win.

*Right-wing activists vandalize weather satellite in order so spread doubt about man-made global warming. Baby polar bear film at eleven*

So THAT’S why they want to take away our guns!

They believe that we are clinging to our guns so we can blow the global warming satellites out of the sky.

;-)

In one example swiftly taken down by NOAA after my first article, readings for June and July 2010 for Lake Michigan showed crazy temperatures off the scale ranging in the low to mid hundreds - with some parts of the Wisconsin area apparently reaching 612 F.

This is why non-scientists should not be allowed to see raw climate data. Anyone with a PhD level understanding of statistics is only too aware that surface temperature levels in the great lakes are often hundreds, even thousands, of degrees above the sea-level boiling point of water. This is because the great lakes are not at sea level, a fact not comprehended by the author of this misleading and ignorant article.

More like "settled sloppiness," at best. Ever hear of a kid who resented the need to wash the test tubes and to check the equipment to make sure it's working properly? Waal, guess what happened to the kid...

This explains why al gore says it’s “millions of degrees” 2km beneath the surface of the Earth!

Thanks for the LOL. Please allow me to make a slight redact:

"This is why non-[bought and paid for] scientists should not be allowed to see raw climate data."

After all, they use fancy words like "falsified" in embarrassing ways...

“This is the move to blame technology and let the bad scientist keep their jobs. It’s not their fault the satellite went bad, keep paying them for they know not their lies are doing.”

Exactly. Just like the way old “computer glitch” excuse that used to be used in the bad old days. Never a human error for some reason. Now of course, “computer error” has dropped from vogue since everyone now know that “computer errors” are caused by the humans using the computer and almost never by the computer itself.

In this case, to cry that the system is totally “automated” is completely bogus and smacks of “computer error”. I’ve worked with satellite data systems myself, and any kind of reasonable system must have both calibration methods and built-in range checks that indicate whether the data being produced is physically possible and within the bounds of what can be reasonably expected. Publishing data with wild, physically impossible swings and which obviously don’t match ground data indicates total incompetence, total indifference, or simply the desire to commit fraud.

You see “falsified” is a word that scientists use that means roughly, in your *laughs condescendingly* layman's language, “verified.” In other words, falsified means settled beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just like “trick” means “the truth” in scientist lingo.

Do ya follah?

That's the ticket, believe in man-made global warming and nobody gets hurt!

Investigation dropped for lack of evidence on the first one. (Sexual assualt IIRC)

Wisconsin is in crisis mode. What do you do with 612F cheese?

This is from a flaky-looking blog site, let’s get this from an authoritative source before breaking out the bubbly.

It's official! All of those "scientists" and environmentalist whack jobs who said "beyond a doubt" that global warming was real should quit or be summarily fired from their jobs for gross incompetence!

Naah.

He got off.
Apparently she couldn’t prove anything. You know he-said she-said.
