1) The famous hockey stick was not produced by Phil Jones nor his data. Try Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley and Malcolm Hughes.
2) The data from which it was produced has been available ever since it was published and it has not been in the custody of Dr Jones.
3) Jones' specialty is the instrumented record. The hockey stick, as you know, it primarily a reconstruction from proxy data.
4) There is not the slightest indication that any of Jones' lost or missing data would have overturned current conclusions regarding climate trends.
So, Ms Aster, are you going to ignore the fire alarms because you can't find your personal thermometer?
asterism was simply quoting the article.
how many examples of shoddy, deceptive, or just plain wrong climate science are needed before you start losing confidence in the whole global warming doomsday scenario?
my math and physics teachers told me that even if you get the right answer by the wrong method, you are still wrong! climate science uses bad data, bad methodology and gets the wrong answers to boot.
My math and science teachers were fanatics about notebooks and observations and reproducibility of experiments.. Was Jones educated differently?
NOBODY IN PURE AND OPEN SCIENCE gets a pass for "not showing their work".
I'm spend most time in the slightly diff. world of science for industry where proprietary info is a reality. Our conferences are not generally "peer reviewed" except in the liquor lounge. But in the world of pure science --- Abraham cannot make the statement that "there are no indications that presenting the data would make a diff".. OF COURSE it makes a diff if you asserting a result as fact..
You're not going to be successful in industry if you can't distinguish those with educated opinions from those with sales pitches.
Conspiracy theories are always sales pitches. Politics. Here's why what's best for me is also, trust me, what's also best for you.
