Quote of the Week: “Details that could throw doubt on your interpretation must be given, if you know them. You must do the best you can — if you know anything at all wrong, or possibly wrong — to explain it. If you make a theory, for example, and advertise it, or put it out, then you must also put down all the facts that disagree with it, as well as those that agree with it. There is also a more subtle problem. When you have put a lot of ideas together to make an elaborate theory, you want to make sure, when explaining what it fits, that those things it fits are not just the things that gave you the idea for the theory; but that the finished theory makes something else come out right, in addition.” — Richard Feynman, Cargo Cult Science, Caltech’s 1974 commencement address.
Number of the Week: Six
THIS WEEK:
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)
Scope: TWTW discusses at length the disturbing evidence that US agencies considered to be premier in research have farmed out the major US report on climate change to a US consulting firm with international offices. It then discusses physical evidence that contradicts the findings in the report, called the US National Climate Assessment. Subsections in this discussion are separated by short strings of asterisks (*********). TWTW also corrects an error it has made in describing the work of John Tyndall, then concludes with a brief review of the reversals in litigation experienced by Mr. Mann.
