the HOTTEST YEAR EVER!?!?!?!?!

NASA/GISS data was manipulated - by none other than the guy in charge
of the data - you know - this guy?

"James Hansen, who accused Bush of politicizing global warming
science, is responsible for bugged algorithms that produced erroneous
figures. Furthermore, he refused to release his algorithms so that
they could be peer reviewed. The bug was discovered by someone who
took the time to reverse-engineer Hansen's flawed algorithm, and then,
having accurately done so, proved NASA's numbers were wrong. Thus
causing the revision.

Hansen, who claimed Bush was politicizing Global Warming, refused to
provide his algorithms to other researchers so they could simply check
his work, hiding his own errors from them and distorting the science
he claims to care about oh-so-much until some persistent researchers
went to the great trouble of reconstructing his algorithms
themselves."

You know James Hansen - the guy hailed as the "world's leading
researcher on global warming" - consultant to "Inconvienent Truth"?

Heh, heh, heh...NASA/GISS is very, very quietly revising the numbers.

Here's a good discussion.

I don't think I'd waste any more time on the coyoteblog.com... they
must not do *any* fact checking! McIntyre (whose experience is mineral
exploration) and McKitrick (an economist) published their works in a
Non-Peer-Reviewed Social Science Journal because they were turned down
for publication by more appropriate venues.

McIntyre and McKitrick's shaky position was debunked nearly 3 years
ago..

Really?

Then why is NASA/GISS publically acknowledging that, in fact - not
theory - Hansen manipulated the data set knowingly and specifically
to manipulate the data to prove his theory.

And that Hansen would not allow anybody to examine his programs or his
data set. It had to be reverse engineered.

Hmmm?
