It was a trick alright. The whole fraud was generated by tricks, but not in any known or accepted scientific approach. Here is an academic explanation for how the word "trick" is understood in science. The meaning of "hide the decline" is obvious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "There is no such thing as a 'trick' in science. Unless you're unable to discern what is going on, and you might be talking to a fellow scientist, and say: 'by what TRICK did that happen, I don't know but would like to understand.' That's the only circumstance where you could refer to a TRICK in science. So to change data by way of a TRICK is totally outside the realm of serious science." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Message 26118437 "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
