And you don't believe there is a difference between the evaporative rate of a swimming pool and that of a pan?

 


 

And there is where your problem began.  In order to accurately determine whether or not you have a leak, you first need to know how much water you have.  Further, you altered your data based on the evaporative rate from a pan vs a body of water that was many orders of magnitude larger.  You have no idea what effect your data tampering had on the actual amount of water you were or were not losing to a leak.  Perhaps you made a decision to act based on what you believed, but that decision wasn't based on anything like hard data.

 

The decision to call in a repairman or not is a relatively small financial decision and while it wouldn't be entirely rational to  make it based on flawed methodolgy, the decision only affects you;  but the financial decisions being made based on the terribly flawed hypothesis,  methodology, and modelling of climate change are very large and stand to alter the world's economies.

 


 

So now I know.  For a very long time I have wondered  how someone could look at obvious examples of an effort to lower the temperature of the past in order to make the present appear warmer; now I know.  You apparently believe they are making the data base more accurate.  I have to tell you guy, that is one of the most delusional statements anyone has ever made to me regarding the whole climate change issue.

 

The fact is that we don't know enough about the climate to even begin to have a clue as to what sort of adjustments might need to be made and the fact that more and more data collection stations are being taken off line around the world thus giving us an even poorer picture of what the climate is actually doing does nothing more than further blur what we believe we know.

 


 

But knowing the absolute amount of water in your pool was an important factor if you actually wanted to know what was happening.  In the end, you made your decision based on an opinion that wasn't founded on anything like fact but just a suspicion, and although you probably won't admit it, your financial situation was a major factor in guiding that suspicion.  Regardless, whatever you did in the end, it wasn't based on anything like actual science and the same holds true for decisions being made today based on the assessments of the field of climate science.
