During Mao's cultural revolution in China people were allowed to monitor weather stations. hahahah... NOT!
Of course that is obvious to climatologists/historians such as myself, but not to laymen.
That was flat out admitted in the Climategate emails. It was purposeful fraud, not just a sloppy science mistake. Their e-mails prove that beyond any reasonable doubt.
Wikilinks busted them!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL......
And there goes another demented and very pathetic bit of the anti-science Republican-rightwingnut Theology as was discussed in the OP article.....this one is their sacred
'Crackpot Conspiracy Theory' myth, which claims that pretty much all of the world's scientists, in over a hundred countries, are somehow all organized in a HUGE (and amazingly still
quite secret) conspiracy to (supposedly) "
dupe" the world into (supposedly "
falsely") believing that atmospheric and ocean temperatures are rapidly rising and the Earth's ice caps and glaciers are melting and that sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate
(which of course, they are).....for nefarious reasons that are never quite explained....and no scientist
anywhere has
ever cracked and confessed and broken the apparently very fierce 'scientific code of silence'.....that is apparently much, much more powerful than the Mafia's puny generations-old, death-threat enforced code of
Omertà .
But it makes great distracting theater for the denier cult cranks to try to get people to ignore the actual unfolding climate change catastrophes happening right in front of them, and disregard the scientific warnings about what is coming soon as the result of still accelerating global warming and its consequent increasingly disruptive climate changes.
