Climatopia has drawn me into commenting on some blogs. There’s the most marvelous scandal brewing in the arcane world of climate science. For those unfamiliar, in climate science there actually is a consensus that human activity has an effect on the planet. The consensus ends there. Everything else is up for grabs.
The scandal is engulfing Prof. Phil Jones who as a young man dedicated himself to compiling all the available worldwide daily temperature records into one computerized data set. It was a monumental task. Computers and computer languages were very primitive by today’s standards. When completed, it becomes the foundation of the science of climatology.
Climatopia is also reaching out to Prof. Mike Mann, author of the hockey stick reconstructed temperature graphs which is at the center of the controversey.
