#1 "In a testament to his scientific integrity and contributions to climate science, Dr. John Holdren, President Obama’s Science Adviser, appointed Tom [Karl]as Chair of the SGCR, which oversees USGCRP, in 2010. During Tom’s six years as Chair, USGCRP released the Third National Climate Assessment and its current 10-year Strategic Plan, which reflected a greater focus on decision support, sustained scientific assessment, and engagement, supported by USGCRP’s longstanding strength in fundamental global change research."

#2 Plenty of evidence to indicate that we are in fact getting ready to enter a new Maunder Minimum...at least as bad and maybe much worse. The winter of 2018-2019 will tell the tale.
Lack of sunspots and magnetic anomalies point to what amounts to a new ice age.

#3 ^^^This. The lovely thing about science is that even if no one checks the data, eventually reality makes itself painfully obvious.

It is nice when someone takes it upon himself to rush the process, though. And it’s become clear that the field of climate science is well-seeded with honest researchers, despite the best efforts of propagandists controlling the high places.

#4 That or extreme incompetence is the only explanation for their results. Either of them should result in a firing and a complete remediation of their data.

The Earth's climate is changing. Just as it has since we first developed an atmosphere and as it will until the sun fries us to a cinder in 4.5 billion years. Both the sun and the orbit wobbles of the planet will see to changes. But you can't blame humans for them and then try to tax his ass into stone age socialism for them. So we get what we see here.

#5 You are so right TW. Makes me think of the old "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" Chiffon margarine commercials.

#6 #2 We are currently headed into a weak but otherwise routine "11 year" sunspot minimum. During the Maunder minimum the sunspot cycle collapsed for 100+ years.

I don't believe in CAGW. Dr Svenmark's "sunspot" theory makes much more sense. I'm hoping for no more than a Dalton minimum (Napoleon marching on Moscow cold) not a Maunder Minimum (Skating on the Thames/London frostfair cold)

#7 NOAA has twice been caught changing the raw temp data sets. Sorry but when you start doing that, you are not doing science. Put your bill on and start going "Quack, quack, quack"

Manipulate #'s all you want. But to do science you have to start with the raw and explain the how and why for each step of manipulation. You don't just change the raw and then start from there. It's funny when you actually explain that to people and make them cudgle their brain or google how science experiments really work. Then you see the flickers of doubt before the dogma wall comes crashing back down and they resort to reciting dogma again.
