Science Needs Vigilantes

People that double check published papers are doing the scientific establishment a FAVOR.

If the peer review process would do due diligence none of this would be an issue.

And you can start tossing out the garbage with Mann whose hockey stick graph and anti-science efforts are a shame to real science, Matthew.

Really? So, link to scientific papers in peer reviewed journals that declare the Mann paper garbage. In the meantime, here you can find papers that support the Mann graph;

What evidence is there for the hockey stick?

A critique of the hockey stick was published in 2004 (McIntyre 2004), claiming the hockey stick shape was the inevitable result of the statistical method used (principal components analysis). They also claimed temperatures over the 15th Century were derived from one bristlecone pine proxy record. They concluded that the hockey stick shape was not statistically significant.

An independent assessment of Mann's hockey stick was conducted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (Wahl 2007). They reconstructed temperatures employing a variety of statistical techniques (with and without principal components analysis). Their results found slightly different temperatures in the early 15th Century. However, they confirmed the principal results of the original hockey stick - that the warming trend and temperatures over the last few decades are unprecedented over at least the last 600 years.

While many continue to fixate on Mann's early work on proxy records, the science of paleoclimatology has moved on. Since 1999, there have been many independent reconstructions of past temperatures, using a variety of proxy data and a number of different methodologies. All find the same result - that the last few decades are the hottest in the last 500 to 2000 years (depending on how far back the reconstruction goes). What are some of the proxies that are used to determine past temperature?

Changes in surface temperature send thermal waves underground, cooling or warming the subterranean rock. To track these changes, underground temperature measurements were examined from over 350 bore holes in North America, Europe, Southern Africa and Australia (Huang 2000). Borehole reconstructions aren't able to give short term variation, yielding only century-scale trends. What they find is that the 20th century is the warmest of the past five centuries with the strongest warming trend in 500 years.

Bullshit.

Mann used proxy tree ring data until it became inconvenient then he tossed it in favor of actual measured temps while the proxy data showed a continued drop in temperature for the past 50 years.

You establishment ass wipes cant think about science without appealing to authority like some half wit legal clerk, 'But Dr. So-n-so says it is valid...' but never dealing with the evidence directly.

Mann should be shot for fraud like they do in China.

Now you have proved my point. First, you have never read Mann's original paper, or you would not be making dumb asses statements like that. Second, we have many more papers from Mann and others that used far more than tree ring data. As did his original paper.

So, you are suggesting that people like you do the review? No education in science, but you consider yourself capable of judging scientists papers? Wow.

You stupid shit, you have no idea what my background is in science or anything else.

But I have seen research first hand and I know about the little tricks of picking a log chart or a regular chart depending on if you want to show a straight line progression or an exponential one. I know about tricky little data clean up where you toss contrary data points declaring them out-liers, etc.

Don't give me the bullshit defensive yarn, I have heard it given to others then peels of laughter after the buffaloed newb left the room.

Fuck you, sycophantic bitch..

You stupid cock-sucking liar.

This is right out of that paper:

However, in the case of the early calibration/late validation CPS reconstruction with the full screened network (Fig. 2A), we observed evidence for a systematic bias in the underestimation of recent warming. This bias increases for earlier centuries where the reconstruction is based on increasingly sparse networks of proxy data. In this case, the observed warming rises above the error bounds of the estimates during the 1980s decade, consistent with the known “divergence problem” (e.g., ref. 37), wherein the temperature sensitivity of some temperature-sensitive tree-ring data appears to have declined in the most recent decades. Interestingly, although the elimination of all tree-ring data from the proxy dataset yields a substantially smaller divergence bias, it does not eliminate the problem altogether (Fig. 2B). This latter finding suggests that the divergence problem is not limited purely to tree-ring data, but instead may extend to other proxy records. Interestingly, the problem is greatly diminished (although not absent—particularly in the older networks where a decline is observed after ≈1980) with the EIV method, whether or not tree-ring data are used (Fig. 2 C and D). We interpret this finding as consistent with the ability of the EIV approach to make use of nonlocal and non-temperature-related proxy information in calibrating large-scale mean temperature changes, thereby avoiding reliance on pure temperature proxies that may exhibit a low-biased sensitivity to recent temperature change.

YOU are an example of why so many are losing confidence in science; you are a sham and lack integrity to apprise yourself of the facts.

I am talking about new next generation satellite, cures for diseases and telescopes to keep up the hunt for new extrasolar planets.

Each one of these areas are important....More important then nation building another nation half away around the world.

He is copying of a boiler plate, nothing reviewed by himself at all.

Well here is a prime example of the type of science that inspires vigilantes.

1 A poll of climate scientists showed that the majority viewed all these paleo proxy temperature studies as weak evidence.

2 The entire concept of discerning a Global Average temperature from less than 80 positions on the globe -- using a couple tree parts from Siberia, some mudbug holes from Fiji, and ice cores from Antarctica is just an excercise to MAKE unfounded pronouncements about our measly 60 year record of warming.

3 The end result is mathematically filtered data with no time resolution, no absolute reference to temperature truth and very much reduced sensitivity to rapid temperature changes over even the course of a century... YET -- GoldiRocks repeats the unfounded comparisions to modern era warming.

4 All that is done without even a mention that the proxies used fail to accurately reduce the Modern Era warming to any degree of accuracy..

All this IS ONLY POSSIBLE because the press releases can make claims that are NOT PROVEN OR SUPPORTED by what actually appears in the papers. And because of primadonna competitions and pal review --- valuable info that would allow OTHER scientists to RECREATE the experiment ---- can be left out.. Or in some cases, the data can be denied or lost..

Remember what I posted from that Nobel Prize winner Feynman?????? The part about revealing all the weaknesses of your work and including every detail required to RECREATE the experiment? These clowns are operating by different rules.. This is NOT the science of giants.....

Other scientists from other fields are NOT PROHIBITED from using their expertise to analyze data processing issues.. In fact , in the case of climate science, the whole circus DEPENDS on dozens of disciplines where the academic prep for climate science is weak.. There are trainloads of psychologists for instance that have ZUPERIOR credentials in setting and processing statistical metastudies.. which is what those worthless global paleo temp studies are.. And there are 40 times the number of modeling and data proccessing experts that are in the climate biz.. All the GREATEST scientific minds of our past roamed thru multiple disciplines withnease and effectiveness.. This concept that science is held in strict compartments is truly naive.. Go to a TED conference and see how many PhDs in Electrical engineering or Computer science are giving brilliant presentations in Neurobiology.. And how many fields a degree in Physics will get you into...

I totally agree except in one point; why do you think it the GOP responsible for the cuts?

The Sequester?

Now we have appeals to authority (when there is known dissent among experts) and appeals to a 'sky is falling' red herring.

Science is not a matter of voting, consensus or institutional decree, you stupid ass hat.
 
Before we condone scientific vigilantism, how do we know the vigilantes even know what they are reading, much less why a paper is wrong? I don't want scientists spending all their time defending themselves from the allegations that some neckbeard that failed College Algebra makes.

Republicans think science is a faith. Like religion. They simply don't connect the computer they use or the tools the doctor uses. Or the medicines they take. Or what farmers have been taught and the feed they use. None of it to "scientists". Or alloys. Or what keeps food safe. The list of how science touches us is endless. And Republicans simply don't see the connection.

In fact, most Republicans actually believe most scientists are employed by government.

It's not just Democrats or Independents, but the entire world shakes it's collective head at the ignorance of such a large group of white people who live in both ignorance and the most advanced country in the world. Thank God for Blue States.

Yep, leave it to a libtard to bring race and politics into a discussion of science.

:rolleyes:

Republicans are 90% white. I believe the lack of diversity is part of what caused the "determined ignorance".

No, it is due to the Big Lie Media subscribing to Identity Politics and blacks, Hispanics, gender war feminists,, etc are convinced that to vote GOP is to betray their group; i.e. most minorities are too racist and bigoted to give the GOP any serious consideration.

You guys believe science is mistaken because it doesn't come to the same conclusion as Bible thumpers. Where is right wingnut mysticism "peer reviewed"?

Do you even understand scientific peer review process? Or why peers from a single country aren't enough?

So says spokesmen for a group that is 90% white and has cherished members with views like this:

Tank: Homosexuality, welfare, unemployment, dropouts, STD.s. obesity, fatherless children, abortion, rape, murder are not Republican values, so thats why blacks, hispanics and gays are democrats

Lol, you stupid ass, the Bible does not comment on Global Warming, roflmao.

Probably the same place you get your heroin enemas done, stupid cow.

Lololol, yeah, I understand it and country of origin is irrelevant, or should be.
