They are the same filters used to detect fraud on data sets in the banking industry. It looks for data points that are out of alignment, missing data points, data points that are manually created by humans rather than random, and a number of other factors.
I doubt it. However I will note that in most scientific studies before the data is used in a paper the first step is to run a tool over the data set to check the integrity of the data. Climate science is the only science where this is not done. In fact, Mann and his team not only refuse to release proof of the integrity of their data but refuse to release their "corrected" data. Most people have a term for this - it is "fraud".
Because of the fraud, do you believe that there is no warming in general, or just no warming for 19 years?
I do not believe there is any conclusive evidence that a minor increase in CO2 in the earth's atmosphere caused by man is causing global warming. Therefore spending lots of money attempting to reduce man-made CO2 emissions (which is only a small fraction of overall CO2 emissions) is a tragic waste of money.
Therefore there's no discussion, debate, or even argument: one either agrees with you or not. These thousands of posts have been a monumental waste of time. Get back to us when the water reaches your chin.
The water is not going to reach my chin. It is not even going to rise over 6 inches at the North Carolina coast over the next 50 years - and most of that is due to the land sinking, not the ocean rising. I am open minded to new scientific data and facts, but the climate alarmists have simply re-cycled the same old political talking points over & over while squawking "97%".
You are an idiot. A 40% rise in earth's most important greenhouse gas is anything but minor. Do I need to post the science showing how CO2 level acts like earth's thermostat again? Maybe you did not read it the first five times I posted it? And yes, it IS 97 % of the climatologists and virtually ALL the world's science organizations. NO sci orgs deny it. ZERO. Exxon, the Weather Channel etc. They ALL agree that AGW is very real. Do you know why? Because CO2 is an important GHG and we have raised it's level by 40% and the earth is rapidly warming. You really have to be some kind of moron to deny AGW is real and a serious problem.
Why are you concerned about the "thousands of posts" that he has made being a waste of time? You've got over 14 thousand of them!
