Maintained by the ScienceBlogs Overlords, Page 3.14 points you in the direction of some of ScienceBlogs' finest offerings, plus the tastiest tidbits of science news and opinion from around the web.
Last week, hackers pulled a data heist on the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, releasing thousands of stolen documents and emails that purportedly exposed a scientific conspiracy to fabricate evidence of global warming. Climate change skeptics dug into the data with forks and knives, choosing the choicest morsels as evidence of fraud. But ScienceBloggers are unimpressed by the stunt. On A Few Things Ill Considered, Coby Beck places tongue in cheek, rejoicing that the Greenland ice sheet is now refreezing. On Deltoid, Tim Lambert reports that NASA is being sued by the Competitive Enterprise Institute for scientist Gavin Schmidt's activities on the RealClimate blog, where he "makes it perfectly clear that the claims of scientific malpractice are without foundation." On Stoat, William M. Connolley debunks some of the supposed instances of hanky-panky, writing that "everyone with any sense seems to have got the right answer by now." James Hrynyshyn on The Island of Doubt calls the stolen data "just plain banal" and "bereft of the context required to understand them in any meaningful way." Hrynyshyn also presents some new projections from The Copenhagen Diagnosis, which show that global carbon dioxide emissions were 40% higher in 2008 than in 1990, and that by 2100, sea levels may rise by as much as two meters.

Your declaration, "We New Atheist types like to emphasize that religion ought not to be exempted from the usual requirement that assertions of fact be supported by evidence..." reveals an important issue in the reason versus religion dispute.

Did you take high school geometry? In this class the student is required to prove beyond any doubt that a premise is either true or untrue. How about college statistics? There are simple tests which prove within a certain "confidence interval" that a premise is either true or untrue, looking at the averages and standard deviations of a "statistical universe."
"Scientific consensus" is not proof. Science is not a democracy. They thought Einstein was an idiot from 1905, when he published his first paper about relativity, until 1919 when it was inarguably proven by telescopes. Before that the scientific consensus was that Newton's theory of gravity was the entire truth.
Where is the proof of global warming? Now that the temperature records are shown to have been rigged, they are all pointing to the melting in the Arctic. This only shows that ocean currents are altered, as this ice is melting from underneath. Arctic temperatures remain under freezing. And no one seems to mention that the Antarctic ice is growing!
I ask again where is the proof? We only have accurate thermometer records from 1851 when the British Navy began recording noon-time air and water temps all over the world, largely but not entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. Proxy records such as ice cores show that the Earth has been both cooler and warmer than it is now many times in the last 800,000 years.
The top Japanese governmental scientists last month compared computer models of climate to astrology. A computer model shows what the computer modeler wants it to show.
Seriously, hard proof? Got any? Anyone, Buehler, anyone?

It appears to be a MOND autumn in the science glossies, as Science publishes a review on our favourite alternative physics theory and the status of MOND like extensions to general relativity.
