CLIMATE DEPOT: THE MULLER GLOBAL WARMING DATA UNRAVELS…..MUSTREAD
For latest, go to www.ClimateDepot.com – [Morano statement: It is not surprising that Muller’s research has unraveled at such a spectacular rate. Muller has proven nothing more than a media shill and has quite simply brought shame to science. One of the low-points was Muller’s moronic logic on display for all to read in the Wall Street Journal. The free-fall of Richard Muller’s reputation was achieved by his own hand.]

Climategate 2.0? The Muller Con Unravels! Hid Data? Muller accused by his co-author of ‘trying to mislead the public by hiding the fact that BEST’s research shows global warming has stopped’ — ‘Prof Judith Curry, who chairs the Dept of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Inst. of Tech., said that Muller’s claim that he has proven global warming skeptics wrong was also a ‘huge mistake’, with no scientific basis. Curry is a distinguished climate researcher with more than 30 years experience and the second named co-author of BEST project’s 4 research papers’
Muller a statistical shyster? ‘Could it really be the case that Muller has not looked at the data in an appropriate way to see the last ten years clearly? Indeed Best seems to have worked hard to obscure it. They present data covering more almost 200 years is presented with a short x-axis and a stretched y-axis to accentuate the increase…This is an ideal formula for suppressing the past decade’s data’
Prof. Ross McKitrick: ‘The fact is that many of the people who are in a position to provide informed criticism of this work are currently bound by confidentiality agreements’
‘In Prof Curry’s view, two of the papers were not ready to be published, in part because they did not properly address the arguments of climate sceptics’ — ‘As for the graph disseminated to the media, Curry said: ‘This is “hide the decline] stuff. Our data show the pause, just as the other sets of data do. Muller is hiding the decline…To say this is the end of scepticism is misleading, as is the statement that warming hasn’t paused. It is also misleading to say, as he has, that the issue of heat islands has been settled’
‘Like the scientists exposed then by leaked emails from East Anglia U.’s Climatic Research Unit, Curry’s colleagues from BEST project seem to be trying to ‘hide the decline’ in rates of global warming…data show there has been no increase in world temps since the end of the 1990s…’There is no scientific basis for saying that warming hasn’t stopped,’ Curry said. ‘To say that there is detracts from credibility of the data, which is very unfortunate.’
Muller co-author Judith Curry: ‘Of course this isn’t the end of scepticism. To say that is the biggest mistake he [Muller] has made. When I saw he was saying that I just thought, ‘Oh my God’ — ‘In fact, Muller added, in the wake of the unexpected global warming standstill, many climate scientists who had previously rejected sceptics’ arguments were now taking them much more seriously’
Richrd Muller co-author Judith Curry: ‘I am baffled as to what Muller’s trying to do….I think they have made errors and I distance myself from what they did’ — ‘Although Prof Curry is the second named author of all 4 papers, Muller failed to consult her before deciding to put them on the internet earlier this month, when the peer review process had barely started, and to issue a detailed press release at same time. He also briefed selected journalists individually. ‘It is not how I would have played it,’ Curry said. ‘I was informed only when I got a group email’
Muller Data Proves That He Is A Skeptic: ‘CO2 rose at an unprecedented record rate over last decade, & temps went down’ — ‘By contrast, from 1910 to 1940 temperatures rose very fast while CO2 hardly increased at all’
Climate researcher Willis Eschenbach Slams Muller: Muller ‘engages in shameless self-promotion…Sure, I could pretend Muller is an honest and honorable man like you recommend. But his actions have shown him to be a cunning snake’
‘Muller is a man who thinks nothing of throwing someone to the wolves, a panderer for his latest findings. And as far as I’m concerned, all you guys acting like he is a decent man, and advising me not to mention the Emperor’s nudity, are accomplices in his deception’
‘The cooling after 1950 has disappeared. Winston Smith would be proud!’
This is who the media considers to be a skeptic?: Muller in 2008: ‘The bottom line is that there is a consensus — the IPCC — and the president needs to know what the IPCC says. Second, they say that most of the warming of the last 50 years is probably due to humans’ — ‘Back in the early ’80s, I resigned from the Sierra Club over the issue of global warming. At that time, they were opposing nuclear power’
‘And we remain greatly disappointed by Muller’s public communications (e.g. his WSJ op-ed) which appear far more focused on raising his profile than enlightening the public about the state of the science’
‘Richard Muller has crassly fudged the distinction [between man-made warming and warming] to make a point which has nothing to do with science and everything to do with gutter politics…Climate Depot’s Morano also, incidentally, has links to scientists pouring cold water on Muller’s ludicrous claims. I don’t think I’ve heard Morano sound quite so angry or contemptuous. And I don’t blame him’
‘The Warmists lost the battle over ‘the science’ long ago; that’s why the best they can do now is resort to the kind of risible semantic ruse like this deliberate conflation of ‘global warming’ with ‘man made global warming’
‘I’m sick of the silence surrounding egregious scientific malfeasance…I’m upset that people are not outraged at this attempt to assuage some liberal guilt by making energy, the lifeblood of the poor, more and more and more expensive with each passing day’
Lindzen & Douglass slam media for ‘completely misrepresenting Climategate’: Scandal revealed ‘explicit evidence of the manipulation of proxy records used in paleoclimate reconstructions, suppression of other viewpoints, manipulation of IPCC process, and intimidation of journal editors were all evidence of serious breaches of ethics. Muller’s findings hardly alters these findings’
‘Climate Depot since March of 2011 had been publicly warning that Muller’s project was a predetermined con set up to take down a straw man argument. ‘This whole [Muller] project has to be a set up to screw skeptics. Who disputes warming has taken place? Why have we allowed Muller to set up a straw man argument to take cheap shots at skeptics? It appears Muller is incapable of running this project’
Word Of The Day: ‘Warmist’: Warmist gives Climate Depot credit for ‘warmist’: ‘I have to give Morano credit. He’s the first person to expose me to the use of the word ‘warmist’ — ‘ (I guess that makes Morano a ‘coldist’?) I now see, thanks to Morano, that this term has some currency among deniers’
Media Con: ‘The mainstream media have have portrayed him as a repentant climate skeptic who has wonderful new evidence confirming man-made global warming’
