lindzen
stoat | March 12, 2012So, Lindzen f*cked up (Misrepresentation from Lindzen) badly enough that he needed to apologise. He is being weaselly, though, in throwing the blame on someone else. And he is wrong to say that the URLs of the datasets were the same.
Part of his "apology" is rather amusing:
The public interest in this quantity, however, does make it a matter subject to confirmation bias
and to pull a comment out (thanks dp):
That's exactly true - someone (Howard Hayden) got a result that they liked (looked like GISS had changed numbers) and confirmation bias made them and Lindzen believe it and publicise it…
illconsidered | October 18, 2010If you have a spare couple of hours, I am sure the YouTube below is well worth the time. I don't, so I can't comment on anything but my expectations and the approval of Dessler's performance from Eli Rabett and Deltoid.
Thanks, Eli, for the link.
