Like I already said and implied, the ones basing their further research on the jimmied numbers are more than likely acting in good faith. Moreover, the inner circle at the IPCC has been caught red-handed both using "evidence" from unscientific opinion pieces and making up some statistics out of whole cloth...In those instances, the motivation is less important to me than the facts at hand.Link or its not true. You're basing an awful lot of your argument over your perceptions of the global warming scientists as a whole, and painting a very broad brush of a group of people that includes scientists from around the globe. You posit that global warming scientists are frauds, but they're putting up an awful lot of work for mere fraud with no apparent extra gain other than 'egos' or 'to keep funding rolling in' for something which is a fraud. The numbers just don't add up in the end that they would do this.
But you asked for reasoning that could be behind making up the whole thing, not for definitive evidence.
I did, but reasoning often must have evidence to back it up, otherwise why believe the reasoning? You make big claims on a serious issue for me to simply believe you from words alone.
