I'm certainly not saying the accusations debunk Global Warming or anything like that. But when something comes up that throws what I initially believed into doubt I go back and investigate I don't keep pushing as hard as I was.
The fact that these people would come out so strongly even after the last two weeks makes me think their opinion is based more on dogma than it is on science.
- dazzawazza 17y agoDoesn't 'Climate Gate': - just effect the 'tree ring' data and projections based upon it? - bring in to question a few scientists ethics? There are still thousands of other data sets and thousands of other scientists that point toward global warming and mans influence on the global climate. I may be reading this wrong but after two weeks not a lot of come from the leaked emails to make me doubt the science as a whole. Granted it's still 'best guess' science and the tree ring data just goes to show how our best knowledge may still be flawed but to do nothing is more stupid then to 'put our best foot forward' as it were.
- azgolfer 17y agoNo, the flawed data sets and 'tricks' were reused for many papers. There was a tight circle of scientist who published most of the global warming nonsense.
- dazzawazza 17y agoTrick in a scientific context is just a clever thing to do. It's not a deceitful trick. A lot of scientific papers use the term trick.
