WHEN SCIENCE GOES "BAD"
WHEN SCIENCE GOES “BAD”
The University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit has reversed its long-standing policy and agreed to make its climate database public so that other researchers can check the conclusions that have been reached by global warming alarmists who, until now, have been the only ones with access to the data. What is not clear from this report is whether the formulas and calculations that were applied to the data to obtain published results will also be made public………and so on…Nov 2009.

CRAWFISH NOTE:
A crucial part of my job for 27 years was to teach college frosh Biology and Zoology. The heart of this science teaching was a day on “the nature of science” early on in every course. The mere fact that “research” data is hidden is WRONG, borderline evil actually (except perhaps military nuclear-type secrets).
Science requires that the world of researchers be able to “verify-duplicate” ANY research data-procedure-result. It fact checks itself and always has until GW arrived as the latest crisis. The mere fact “global warming data” had to be pursued via FOI Act is a huge red flag.
All this secrecy strongly suggests BAD science research…there are no legit excuses. Of course the modern liberal (secular socialist) avoids debate, microphones and the truth (reality) 24-7.
Now we hear that a mere 3 trees with the “desired rings” were used to change decades of data and the trees contrary to that desired data were avoided…sounds like creative research by democrats seeking tax $$$ for “PC” (aka acceptable) grants.
Science is about discovering TRUTH, inconvenient or not.
