So did Phill Jones at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of E. Anglica but that expectation of privacy didn't stop the character calling him/herself FOIA from releasing all the Emails that were required to be released by GB's Freedom of Information Act.
A "simplification of design" that would certainly kill a lot of people counts as an error, no?
If you put random data into Mann's formulas you always get the hockey stick? Even "random noise?" Wow, where's the citation for this? And why does he need Mann's personal emails then? It seems like he could show Mann was a liar and phony pretty easily if "random noise" reproduces the results.
The citation for random noise; also note that just because the computer programming implimentation of Mann's formulas is wrong doesn't mean the Mann's formula themselves are wrong.
Backgrounder for McIntyre and Mc Kitrick “Hockey Stick Project”January 27 2005
The GRL article, “Hockey Sticks, Principal Components and Spurious Significance”
<http://www.climate2003.com/pdfs/2004GL012750.pdf> identifies what is almost certainly a computer programming error in the principal components method used in MBH98. The error causes their PC method to nearly always identify hockey
stick shaped series as the “dominant pattern” in a data set (the so-called “first Principal Component” or PC1), even
when the data are just random numbers. We carried out 10,000 simulations in which we fed “red noise”, a form of trendless random numbers, into the MBH98 algorithm . In over 99% of the cases it produced hockey stick shaped PC1
series.
Steyn said Mann's "hockey stick" graph was fraudulent, which the above citation appears to support, Mann is suing Steyn for defamation claiming that Steyn called Mann the person a fraud, which is sufficent to allow Steyn pretty wide berth durring the discovery phase to look into Mann's professional conduct and correspondance to deduce past behaviours as part of Steyn's defense. Additionally Steyn is a journalists, and Mann is by most common standards a public figure so the rules governing libel and slander are different then for most of us peons living in anonymity.
Cuba is a huge tropical island with a well educated population. North Korea is strategically located between the vibrant state of South Korea and China, soon to be the world's largest economy. Both Cuba and North Korea are in prime locations for international trade and commerce.
In addition to all that, they have the most progressive socialist governments in the world. While the rest of the world has been wasting their time with free enterprise and capitalism, these guys took the progressive, enlightened approach.
So why can't they pay their bills?
...we're seeing that, when push comes to shove and certain people are in charge, the "promise" of the United States doesn't mean squat.
Nukes in the hand are worth an infinite number of promises and strongly-worded letters...
A rising tide doesn't raise all ships, it swamps all but the biggest boats.
At least you've vaguely heard of the saying. The real saying is "A rising tide raises all boats". It basically sums up the general outcome of positive sum games. It amazes me how many people just don't get what a positive sum game is.
And the great irony here is that the largest ships, the developed world countries, are the ones being swamped. That's because they choose not to adapt. It's easier to blame the consequences of actions on the rich or whatever and just keep doing the same stupid things you decided you were going to do.
Also, how does that help you, living a middle class life in a first world country.
Adaptation is cheaper and more effective than ignoring reality. For example, labor got cheaper, but capital didn't. Put some of your effort into acquiring capital rather than just depending on your labor for your well being.
It's OK to think about yourself and your long term well being, You know?
When the supposed solutions result in plunging billions of people into greater poverty, then it dishonors me and mine to not speak against these games. I can adapt for a lot less harm to the rest of the world than the current bout of absurd regulation, protectionism, and hysteria.
What comments like this miss is that the big thing the federal government did that wouldn't have happened in bankruptcy - it guaranteed that GM's and Chrysler's vendors would be paid in full.
Let's not go crazy with the assertions. A regular bankruptcy probably would have resulted in the same thing. Vendors are near the top of the list in bankruptcy court.
Here you are forgetting another key fact about 2008. The credit crisis meant that even healthy companies were unable to raise capital to buy up or rescue these suppliers. Some otherwise healthy Fortune 500 companies experienced severe cash flow problems that threatened their day to day operations.
That's ok. The businesses, not necessarily Fortune 500 without severe cash flow problems would be the ones doing the buying.
You might actually want to look up that McCain claim as you are wrong on it.
Of course if you did that, you might appear as if you know what you are talking about. But then your racism argument falls apart until you invent something else.
Here is a hint, McCain's eligability was challenged at the same time Obama's was by a hillary supporter. McCain put it all on the table and it was dropped quickly. Obama resisted and created useful idiots. And yes, i'm lumping you into the same group of manipulated tools as the birthers
So science is Amway and not a religion for some?
I have never heard the denial argument that the earth has never changed. It seems the most popular one is that the earth is always changing so stop the fearmongering.
How about pointing us to some of those claims
Niggle: Beavis was the Cornholio guy; it was Butt-head who would try to vocally mesmorize women and other things to come to him.
But I too would like there to be an up-or-down vote on going all-in with all this Progressive crap or shit-canning it and anything resembling it completely. All losing likemindeds lose citizenship and get deported; America becomes a united people, one way or the other.
Post some more with sock puppets. You own 'get a brain moran' moment is still just three comments up-thread. Followed by your nice crow dish just nine minutes after the full Sheldon, I'm responding to.
Happened to Trainwreck.
Speaking as someone with a quarter acre back yard and no HMO. Where can I get weeds chopped down for $70/acre? I call BS.
Not how it works.
The seeds are F1 (first generation, unstable) hybrids. Breeding them in will give you children with random mixes of the grandparents characteristics. Very non-uniform. One will be pretty good, the next will suck, the third will wilt and die.
Most people don't bother.
