#1 The story on CO2 is not news. The news is that Science published it.

#2 It all became crap to me when I found out they were positioning temperature sensors next to airports, etc..

No complicated science necessary.

#3 No Iblis, we knew they faked results but that doesn't necessarily means theory is wrong. This result proves theory is wrong.

#4 previous work had indicated only 3F higher during Pliocene

also, co2 was supposed to be 450ppm

#5 It was all questionable to me from day 1.

It was all fake for sure with the climate gate releases. I am very experienced in computer modeling and know Fortran. The code fragments that were released had several flashing red lights. The worst one being the inclusion of a table look-up to modify the given data with NO indication of where the table came from or what was in it.

The key danger with computer modeling of any kind, whether it is a complex, sophisticated scientific model or a small business Xcel spread sheet is that canonical saying "Garbage In, Garbage Out".

Don't matter if the Garbage going in is accidental or deliberate, the results are worthless.

#6 This wasn't just GIGO.
The results of one iteration of the model where fed back into the model to "predict" the future.

Obviously no-one had a clue about feedback and exponential error.

It's near perfect in junk out under these situations.

#7 Yes, AlanC, you are exactly right.

I also have designed and built FORTRAN numerical models of systems described by complex differential equations. The climategate code releases were smoking-gun evidence of fraud.

That doesn't necessarily mean the principle-investigator was the fraudster, but he was at the least negligent if not worse.
