Hide the Decline

hiAs we pointed out in our last post, one of the recently exposed e-mails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) in England talks about a 'trick' that was used in processing Climate Data. The trick was used to 'hide the decline' in temperature data. The purpose, it seems, was to make temperatures appear as if they were going up - when, actually, they were going down - i.e. declining.

Dr. Michael Mann of Penn State (mis)used this data to build a faulty computer model that shows a 'hockey stick' shaped graph. This graph shows global temperatures on the rise. People have examine the computer code and stated - it show temperature rising because the program was designed....to show temperatures rising.

Dr. Mann is the balding guy in this hilarious video:
