“Scientific” Hokum

 

Why the color red?

Pilgrim, please follow my restated logic:

At this moment in time across my home town, the temperature could easily vary by two degrees … due to cloud cover differences, different elevations, different tree canopies and different breezes.

And that’s just for this one moment … imagine the even wider temperature range over an entire day!

Now extrapolate this  still wider error range across my entire state for an entire month!

Across the entireUnited States for a season!!

The entire world for a yea!!! And knowing this huge measurement range, confidently stated to a fraction of a degree difference!

This is scientific hokum!! Pilgrim, please disregard this touted number  … one year to the next it always seems to go up … as impossible political propaganda !

Afterward: In statistics there is a way of establishing the accuracy of a number. It’s called the “standard error.” It provides the reader with how wide a ranger of results could lie around the published number within which the reproducible answer could expected to be found … the narrower the better.

Have you ever seen the standard error published with any of the global warming numbers?

After afterward: The above logic also applies even to the more scientific satellite temperature measurements. However, that said, this process seems to suggest global cooling, not warming! See: Powerline blog post

STAND UP FOR REAL SCIENCE!
