Peer-Reviewed Blunders
IPCC and NASA continue their blundering ways ...

I've noted this story already, but one significant fact I nneed to point out is
that a former mining executive has, working alone, once again exposed as
error-riddled the work of top peer-reviewed climate scientists - and scientists
working for a huge bureaucracy:
In the United States, the calendar year 1998 ranked as the hottest of them
all - until someone checked the math.
After a Toronto skeptic tipped NASA this month to one flaw in its climate
calculations, the U.S. agency ordered a full data review.
Days later, it put out a revised list of all-time hottest years. The Dust Bowl
year of 1934 now ranks as hottest ever in the U.S. - not 1998.
A former mining executive who runs the blog ClimateAudit.org, McIntyre, 59,
earned attention in 2003 when he put out data challenging the so-called "hockey
stick" graph depicting a spike in global temperatures.
Here's yet another reminder that those who defend the global warming orthodxy by
screaming "peer-reviewed science" are safer to argue from facts rather than
authority.

"There is now no doubt that the UN's International Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), has a history of sacrificing science for political
agendas. This conclusion is based upon the IPCC being found revising
the writings of contributing scientists (without their consent),
accepting as valid the findings of the "hockeystick" graph, and
completely unreceptive to valid scientific criticism. Michaels also
documents a number of other errors and misleading statements by the
IPCC. This is the stuff of political agendas, not of sound science." Michael R.
