A new study by Professor Ross McKitrick (see http://rossmckitrick.weebly.com/) shows that the temperature data upon which the EPA relied in its 'Endangerment Finding' has significant flaws and uncertainties that undermine that finding. <br /><br />Prof. McKitrick reviews how both land and sea surface temp records were created for the 20th century. He finds that methodology used and the geographic regions covered have changed substantially over the years. It appears the hockey stick mythology was used to splice different records together to create a single, continuous global record. <br /><br />Based on the McKitrick study, Peabody Energy Company has today filed a petition (see http://icecap.us/images/uploads/IQAPetition.pdf) with EPA under the Information Quality Act (IQA) in which it asks EPA to correct the temperature records on which the Endangerment Finding is based and to reconsider its GHG regulations. The IQA requires validity of information sourced. (I guess it depends if Obomber got to that organization with cronys). <br /><br />Further reading of Dr. Time Ball's post "Global Temperature And Data Distortions Continue"- http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/25940, shows why the data is so flawed. Instead of satellite and balloon radiosonide data the EPA refers to the badly distorted GISS data that the IPCC has referenced to. <br /><br />Given all the peer review bloopers the IPCC has come up with the whole organization needs a peer review wheel bearing alinement, it appears that organization has lost some bearings and has gone wobbly. It also is very out of balance. What ever is steering that organization just can't keep to the science road and makes these strange detours. For one- they made a wrong turn at Mann's town.Scottarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672079083989713601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959556.post-85091347055215652832010-08-04T19:38:23.165-05:002010-08-04T19:38:23.165-05:00There is certainly a parallel with feudalism.

The elite will not listen to the People, just as the aristocrats did not listen to the peasants. The elite now and the aristocracy then claimed to have the best interests of the peasants at heart, though the peasants gave this little credence in time.Charles R.
