Comment It's also awash in lunacy (Score 1) 202

There is a type of biochemical pathway in plants used when CO2 is very high. The alarmists have edited it to say it's for arid conditions I suppose to imply plants are adapting to a math error or something. Between lots of this and the medical business edits it loses objectivity and reliability weekly.

Point is there are species of algae that have this property.

Wikipedia has become a slow moving parody of itself to paraphrase Peter Honeyman.

If there is no secret data why are they fighting to keep it secret?

A good way to route around calls for openness and transparency to to be open and transparent, not to claim there's no secrets.

But thank you for the pointers to marketing information, I've read them all thanks.

"So, basically a bunch of luddites on the payroll of major corporations are trying to ensure those corporations have access to whatever private data they need to discredit the science?"

That's right. So does the smartest man in the world. And the second smartest man in the world and so on.

If it's correct, it gains traction.

If it's wrong, we'll know.

This is how science works. It is the very definition of it.

Secret rules is how churches work not science.

Care to put money on this?

I've read all that. It's what you haven't read is the problem.

When your opponent starts off with an adhiminem you know they have no data.

As for the great lakes, they froze early, thawed late and had 100 year record levels of ice; some froze completely which is nearly unprecedented and niagara falls froze twice in 2 years.

All signs of a warming world no doubt.

But please drag out the weasel words and explain this. Extra points or quoting "Skeptical science".

Look how much it's grown:

It did melt, because it was warmer. It grew back because it was colder, not still warming.

Who expects it to grow back all thick? Give it time, now that it's reflecting back sunlight it'll happen.

As this point "Skeptical science" has the credibility of "Natural News".

Not one prediction by the IPCC ever came true.
