THE concept of science? Are you sure there isn't more than one?As if anyone on this forum could recognize tainted work without media outlets to guide them.I guess he's just lucky to have you around to interpret and translate for him. Otherwise he'd sound pretty stupid, wouldn't he.Have you ever thought about asking an intelligent question? Try it some time.
He did ask an intelligent and pertinent question. Why did Mann clip and prune the proxies he used to exaggerate the fit? Also, why did he pad the terminal points of the proxies with instrumental data to align the splice?
You guys are quick to present ad hominem but you never seem to address the actual questions.
Like I said- all ad homs no substance.
It is a travesty that climate science did not come down hard on Mann's mistakes and incorrect methodologies. If they had done the right thing 15 years ago we wouldn't have anywhere near as much tainted work published.
I fail to see your reasoning. Are you saying that mistakes are only real if a person finds them by himself? Everyone has to reinvent the wheel, every day?
Mann made a serious mistake by cherrypicking not only the proxies he used but also the PORTIONS of the proxies he used. If you cannot see the problem with that you fail to understand the concept of science.
