Nonsense. You say there is poor and incomplete science. That is a stupid statement. How would you know? Where did you study the subject. Compare you to my son in law. Eight years in college, including four years at the university of California at Irving (one of the best for Atmospheric science) getting a PHD. Then 20 years studying global warming as a research scientist at the University of Washing and his present University. And he works long hours and knows his subject and what other such scientists know as well as anyone. An yet you think you know more than he does! Do you have any idea how foolish that is? Where did you get your great knowledge on the subject?? If you were to have a discussion with him about global warming he would eat you for lunch, or Wharf. Or physics, or chemistry, or statistics. He teaches this stuff to PHD candidates! < I do not and have not "denied" AGW. I have questioned the extent of it on the basis of poor and incomplete science. Just rationally thinking about it suggests that humans on the planet probably cause SOME global warming. The question is how much it matters, and based on available evidence, not much. So, I can't speak for others, but you aren't speaking for me. >> Measuring AGW requires the scientist to use all the information available to them. Bad data is often worse than no data. Michael Mann proved that, when he misled the public and the scientific community with bad data. He would have been better off to simply leave out incomplete data sets than to make up numbers -- in some cases for 50 years running. GIGO.
