We've seen this before with climategate - people seem to be endlessly editing the historical records.
Are you referring to "The Trick"?

#52Well, that's evil? It's deliberate so it can't be stupid. What else is there to say.

Should the data not also reflect that there are more urban areas?
I mean, if you raze the Amazon rainforest the honest thing is not to move the weather stations to the remaining bits that still self-regulate temperature.

#54The instruction manual called "1984" arrived forty years late.
But the insurance companies are in the know. House insurance rates are raising a lot in many at risk states and areas. Just heard Texas joined that fun.
So seems capitalists involved with insurance and finance know the real facts.

#55Does anybody know where I can find a copy of the new report? I'd be interested to read what arguments they came up with.

#57Don't Look Up!
"If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any"
"All new numbers".
Honestly I think this stuff goes very under-reported. The world has become so used to anti-intellectualism that simple ignorance in the highest office(s) is now excusable, and criticising it is implicitly cast as political. Which is a state of affairs that can be weaponised.
(Lest people think I am sniping at the USA from the UK, I'd observe that we as a nation were bounced into a monumental decision by a series of politicians who flatly refused to make their numbers add up when challenged)

Let’s not get carried away with hubris. Nature wrote our genes. Nature made us the way we are. All this nonsense you see going on is ultimately a result of cognitive biased thinking, especially confirmation bias. The fact that we differ so deeply from these biases was not our decision, it was thrust upon us by nature and it helped us survive in an environment very different from the one we found ourselves in now.
No, most people believe in climate change. In a fundamentally anti-human move, oligarchs have put a climate denier in office so he would push against doing anything about it, as it goes against their short-term interests.
