Climategate Revisited

[XLFD]

While the Huffington Post dutifully reports on how 'climate change' is disrupting our Thanksgivings, there has been another dump of E-mails just before the annual UN climate summit that threatens to disrupt that meeting of the world's top climate scientists and throw more doubt on the scientific method being used in advancing the theory of global warming, recently redubbed climate change, as shown in this report from the BBC News. 

 

Some of these new 5000 E-mails, which might all be part of the original acquirement of E-mails from back in 2009, have been reviewed by blogs that believe in the "cause" of climate change, reviewed by blogs that try to stay unbiased on climate change, and other blogs that believe the E-mails show that science based on 'causes' and 'unconfirmable beliefs' are more faith than science.  Some of those most recent E-mails are in the last two links.

 

The new E-mails do not disprove normal or man-made global warming any more than any other argument has, but it does throw heavy doubt on the motives behind those who claim to know the truth, and try to conform reality into this truth by manipulating results and data. 

 

The scientific method requires a scientist to leave his beliefs at the door, and use experimentation, data, and proofs to make your case.  When you consider a theory as irrefutable, when you ignore data and experimental results that do not fit into your theory, and when you consider working to support a cause other than finding the truth, you have became someone who is not a real scientist.

I have yet to see an accurate 7 day weather forcast. Look at the predictions for the coming week and see just how inaccurate it is. How can anyone predict the weather years down the road? It doesn't make sense for the U.S. to risk financial ruin to satisfy what I consider an educated guess at best.

But you can make a correct 7-day forecast by publishing your "forecast" with the last weeks weather and dating it seven days prior.  Some of these scientists are doing little more than this with climate data.
