Lies, Damn Lies, and Computer Climate Models

The news of Antarctica's warming is being met with cheers by the Gaia worshipers and their enablers in the media. They had been frustrated that despite the ozone hole, hockey stick graphs, and gaseous hot air spewing forth from the Reverend Al Gore, this icy continent has not been warming.

Well, someone left their cake out in the rain, I don't think that they can take it, it took so long to bake it, and they'll never have that recipe again... (Apologies to Donna Summer)

Christopher Booker at the Telegraph reports that the claim by Professor Eric Steig is based on a bogus scientific model crafted by Michael "Hockey Stick" Mann.

Here's reaction from two famous global warming supporters:

One of the first to express astonishment was Dr Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and a convinced believer in global warming, who wryly observed "it is hard to make data where none exists".

A disbelieving Ross Hayes, an atmospheric scientist who has often visited the Antarctic for Nasa, sent Professor Steig a caustic email ending: "with statistics you can make numbers go to any conclusion you want. It saddens me to see members of the scientific community do this for media coverage."

Children in the underdeveloped world do not have clean drinking water, but the media stooges are more interested in junk scientists who waste their time crafting worthless linear models of a complex ecosystem they do not understand.
