Those are ARTICLES in NEWSPAPERS! They are NOT 'peer-reviewed' work! If you saw the same journalists writing DRIVEL about karting when you KNOW they know nothing about it, would you ALSO be saying "oh yes, everything MUST be true (even though I know it's not) becasue I read it in a newspaper!"?
Go and buy one month's worth of new scientist and SEE what is being said! Yes I DO know that NS is only a 'review' but they will point you to the published papes if you want to see the data first-hand! When you have DONE that research, you may just be able to SHOW why YOU came to those views!
This stuff does NOT need to be 'considered' to make a decision! You can judge the results simply by WEIGHING the papers!
Of COURSE there is SOME 'bias' and there may WELL have been SOME 'rigging' (although the bit found by the newspapers appears NOT to have been!). Why do I think that? Becasue ther4e is ALWAYS S*O*M*E 'rigging' in ALL work! There will be at LEAST as much rigging in the Anti-GW as it has ben PAID FOR BY THE OIL COMPANIES!!!
However, assuming that it's as much as 20% worse on the pro-GW stuff as in the Anti-GW stuff, then the data is S*T*I*L*L V**A**S**T**L**Y on the GW side!
I have less problems with your argument about A-GW because there is LESS 'proof' for the 'A' part of it but that's NOT what's being discussed here! There are STILL morons out there (and in HERE) who don't believe the Earth IS warming! That STAGGERS me!
As I kid (just like YOU, I'll bet) I had sledges. I probably used one EVERY year until I broke it and built/bought a new one for the NEXT year! Until the last two years, when did your or MY James get a chance to use their sledges? It's now a total anomaly to have a bit of snow! Christ, I sledged in the 1962/3 freeze as I am sure YOU did! This pathetic amount of snow is NOTHING! When we were kids: how many Cafe's had chairs OUTSIDE? We both know that the climate HAS changed in OUR lifetimes!
