Climate Unit Releases Virtually All Remaining Data
mutube writes "The BBC is reporting that the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit, target of 'ClimateGate,' has released nearly all its remaining data on temperature measurements following a freedom of information bid. Most temperature data was already available, but critics of climate science want everything public. Following the latest release, raw data from virtually all of the world's 5,000-plus weather stations is freely available. Release of this dataset required The Met Office to secure approval from more than 1,500 weather stations around the world. The article notes that while Trinidad and Tobago refused permission, the Information Commissioner ruled that public interest in disclosure outweighed those considerations."
More conflation. You don't bother to ask my opinion on anything; you just project a model what you think an archetypal 'denier' is onto me. I accept HIV causes AIDS, evolution, all the things you list; because of these things when I have looked into them; I have become satisfied with the veracity of the evidence. Now climate science is something I have been drawn into because it has been positioned as a community issue. I originally accepted it on good faith, but more I looked the more doubts I had. I've even gone to the point of getting some CC papers published by my national weather bureau and replicating the results. I was appalled by poor statistical and analytical workmanship demonstrated. I want them to redo it and do a better job of it; because I want to be able to cultivate an opinion on this subject I can have confidence in; yet people such as yourself uncritically grovel at the the feet of those you presume to have expertise. It matters me little whether or not CAGW is real, what matters is that I cultivate a proper understanding of the issue, so I can respond optimally.
But reading your post, you sir are a bore and a fool. The way you went ahead and wrote sentence after sentence dissecting my point of view on a topic without even bothering to ask me what my point of view is; assuming I read a book years ago or something without even bothering to ask how I came about my point of view. You are clearly an idiot who has an overinflated view of your handle on this specific topic and an overinflated view of your own intelligence overall, an uncritical person and thus someone who is easily manipulated.
The whole climate thing just uses data from a very small number of weather stations, cherry picked to yield desired results, such as airports, tar papered roofs with nearby A/C units etc etc. I.e, get data to uphold the model, instead of altering the model to fit all available real-world data. In essence, bad science worth billions of euro
