“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.
From all the AGW nonsense that I’ve read “the desire to commit fraud.” seems to be the correct answer almost every time.
There used to be the gullible public that believed it and were actually concerned for the Planet, but most people have seen Toto pull the curtain away too many times to still believe it.
Anyone who seriously studies AGW can see that it’s a hoax.
My local Leftist paper puts “due to global warming” in as many articles as possible. It seems like a non-sequitur most of the time:
MAN ROBBED AT KNIFEPOINT!
Hubbert Gamblepudding was robbed of $43 and his gold watch on the 4300 block of North Owlcracker late Tuesday night. two men of average build held knives to his throat and ordered him to relinquish his valuables.
The robbers got away in a late model blue Ford, according to witnesses. Add to their crime the horrible polluting of our Planet that is soon to be destroyed by people like you driving their cars. Don’t you realize that the planet is heating nearly 15° each and every month!?
DENIERS! You readers should be killed for destroying the planet due to global warming, you’re SO much worse than the robbers.
