Do they have emails of thousands and thousands of scientists cherry picking results? Or an email from one scientist? how many scientists are cherry picking? All? Some?
What's your opinion of the recent leaks from oil companies and their own climate studies? Are the oil companies internal scientists also cherry picking?
- SiempreViernes 7y agoActually the mails just discuss normal data processing issues, they just sound like cherry picking when taken out of context. https://skepticalscience.com/Climategate-CRU-emails-hacked.htm https://skepticalscience.com/Climategate-CRU-emails-hacked.h...
- mempko 7y agoYup! I know, I was just bating him/her because they made little sense.
- dang 7y agoPlease don't. It breaks the site guidelines and makes this place even worse. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- mempko 7y agoThanks for clarifying. I'll be more gentle. However, evidence shows reasoned arguments are hardly going to change people's minds. Turns out emotional arguments win more often. This isn't me being nasty and it's not comparable to climate denial, which is an existential threat. If someone believes in conspiracy theories, I'm not going to entertain them in that way, so I'll have to ignore them instead. The fact that this site already has climate denial on every single climate article posted suggests it isn't full of the intelligent people we think our community is and no amount of talk that looks smart is going to change that. Turns out climate denial loves to look smart anyway.
