Russians Claim More Climate Data Was Manipulated

Posted by samzenpus on from the let-the-flamewar-begin dept.

DustyShadow writes "On Tuesday, the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) claimed that the Hadley Center for Climate Change had probably tampered with Russian-climate data. The IEA believes that Russian meteorological-station data did not substantiate the anthropogenic global-warming theory. Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country’s territory, and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by only 25% of such stations in its reports. Over 40% of Russian territory was not included in global-temperature calculations for some other reasons, rather than the lack of meteorological stations and observations. The data of stations located in areas not listed in the Hadley CRU survey often does not show any substantial warming in the late 20th century and the early 21st century."

    Finally, an answer that will appeal to all the faith-based populists:

    "You know who ELSE doesn't believe in global warming? Russia."

    But it does ADD to the CRANK factor of the POSTER and add to the general SLASHDOT milieu. Intermix with TLA for added effect, YMMV.

    CAPSING random WORDS doesn't make your ARGUMENT stronger.

    LIAR!

    I find it amusing that while railing against the bias and closed minds of the establishment you refer to them as "warmers". Irony knows no bounds.

    Indeed. I've always thought "alarmists" was a much more apt description.

    I see what you're doing there. You're trying to suppress Slashdot moderation! You're clearly conspiring to suppress all skeptical of Global Warming posts!

    Don't lie! I know your scam now.

    1) Point out the mistakes the parent made.
    2) Offer a reasonable and passionate counter argument.
    3) Attempt to cover counter arguments that might be made against you.

    Clever, but not clever enough to escape my suppression detection systems. You're rigging Slashdot for your own liberal conspiracies! You might as well have said... "I sure went to town on that slashdot argument. Honestly I would be surprised if it broke +2 insightful"
