...the “bottom line” is that the data have been changed to increase the warming trend. A number of attempts have been made to estimate the changes caused by numerous corruptions. “We have about 50% less global warming...

the perceived weakening of the AMOC may be nothing more than an artifact of data misinterpretation.

If we want any number to be considered scientific, the rules for this specification [“describing or identifying something precisely”] become stronger and stronger – we should consider this requirement paramount. 

“Claimed record after claimed record, there’s evidence that NIWA’s cherrypicked data is being used (and coloured in dark red for the most extreme bits) to bolster the narrative that extreme climate records are being...

It is the case that in climate science: black is white, and hot is cold and the Conservative side of politics seems, for the most part, to just go along with all of this...

We're faced once again with the enormity of contemplating a science that has collapsed into a partisan narrative; partisans hostile to ethical practice.

I will be talking about these issues this afternoon on TNT radio with the legendary Chris Smith.

In short, what is the proper magnitude of the uncertainty associated with such routine daily temperature measurements?

The result is a reduction of the temperature change between the decades 1880-1890 and 2010-2020 from 1.43°C to 0.83°C CI(95%) [0.46°C; 1.19°C].

Curiously this 24-hour rainfall total, what should be recognised as a new 24-hour rainfall record for Lismore of 467 mm, has not been entered into any of the official reports or into the official Australian Data Archive...

Modern climate research commonly fails adequate recognition of three guiding principles about uncertainty.

This technique will identify a curved line (such as a logarithmic curve) as having a kink. Also, at this point I have no statistical method by which to place a confidence interval on the location of the kink.

"The ice wedges form from the freezing and melting of soil in the tundra," said Liljedahl. "Some of them are tens of thousands of years old."

"Recording the underwater sounds from a melting terminus will open the door to long-term acoustical monitoring of ice loss, and how it is linked to water temperature," said Deane...

Study co-authors said it is also likely that the speed of the current will increase even more as the Southern Ocean continues to take up heat from human-induced global warming.
