Thank you; thank you. I finally understand why you are so bitter about the global warming graphs. You think scientists are altering the actual historical temperature recordings! I agree that would certainly be fraudulent!It's like the CAT scan system. You don't alter the x-ray data given by the sensors, that would be nonsense. What you do is model the system artifacts and modify the numbers going into the inverse transform that creates the image.If you want to know what the global warming adjustments entail, there is a good article by Patrick Michaels at the Cato Institute "Global Warming: Correcting the Data."http://www.cato.org/pubs/regulation/regv31n3/v31n3-2.pdfIf you can't trust Cato for a valid assessment, who can you trust. This is his conclusion:The author states that his analysis reduces the warming trend since 1975 by about 15%. That's not nearly enough to squelch us warmers. I disagree with you here. Physics theories are models. They are mappings from real world observations to mathematical models. The real test of the model is if the mapping goes the other way, such as a model's prediction of the Higgs Boson that was observed in the real world. Computers are only a tool to handle the models. Observation without mathematical models are only useful in Aristotelian physics. Modeling without a computer would not lead to anything of much interest these days.
