Right! The fox will investigate how the chickens went missing.

The only correct investigation is a public peer review starting with raw data. The data should be made available to anyone who wishes to download it and process it… and then publicly present methods and results. The scientific method demands this. Anything else is not science. Good science is made in the light… not in the dark; in the open… not in a closed room. AGW proponents and skeptics must be required to make their cases in public debate before another dime of our economies is squandered. We know that neither Gore nor Jones would debate either Drs William Gray or Richard Lindzen.

We know that the CDU raw data is gone and the processed data is soup. The code is an amalgam of convoluted smoothing and filtering and weighting routines. The code which produces the famous “hockey stick” can make a hockey stick out of random data. The Australians did not fall for bogus data and cap-and-trade was tossed by their legislature.

The NASA GISS will also soon fall from grace as it becomes public. It has taken two years and yet NASA is dithering on this release for which the taxpayers paid the bill.

The common thread is that, in each of the above cases, science was co-opted to support political agendas. In order for this to happen, the unbiased peer review process was circumvented and the data and code increasingly isolated from public access.

I am a geophysicist and a registered professional geologist. I, and over 31,000 others like me, am appalled at this unprofessional conduct. Gore can be dismissed… he is not a scientist, but an unethical profiteer (maybe subject to criminal prosecution). But those “scientists” who took their nefarious trade underground… They MUST be censured and rendered professionally inconsequential.

Is the globe warming? Could be. Is the globe cooling? Also could be. Is the concentration of CO2 higher than last century? Yes. Has the global climate ever been much warmer than over the past century? Yes. Has the concentration of CO2 been many times that of the last century? Yes.

Are humans causing the global climate to change? Publicly debate me on this. Bring your data and code.
