Why I Don't Think we Should be Spending Money on Climate Change.

Wow. People who "don't believe in global warming" will be talking about that forever.

They are doing bad science if they falsified the results, bringing down the reputation of all scientists. Unless someone can show otherwise, assume they were acting alone and doing it for personal gain: getting more funding. There is plenty of evidence for a warming trend, and zero accepted [by peer review and time] evidence for a cooling trend, but people will certainly take this the wrong way.

The UEA isn't a respected university, it is a converted polytechnic with no history of good results in climate change or any science.

I would love for global warming to be a myth. But I have yet to be shown that it is, and there continues to be evidence and consensus in the IPCC and other scientific organisations that it exists.

Here is the problem.

If the UEA falsfied data... why wasn't this pointed out in peer review?

Even if the UEA didn't release it's data, other cliamte scientists should be able to know when it's data doesn't match with theirs and mention that it's off as such.

In another form of science, manipulated data would likely not make it through most journals even withholding data.
