"Massaged data." Lemme guess. It's all a socialist plot to cook the books so the global communist conspiracy can advance further. And the OISM petition was totally legit. And Anthony Watts is a real expert. And the Heartland Institute is more reliable than the entire body of published scientific literature on the subject.

Yeah, right.

You do realise that all climate data is inherintly massaged due to the end points for the data they use and, more importantly, the methodology....right? That's what I mean by massaged data.

EDIT: @TheSpokenTruth, there is no denial here, I'm just showing evidence and being critical of the data. I've never once denied that the data shows that the planet is warming (despite the inherant difficulties with even measuring this), and as such the planet is warming. It's just really not a big issue IMO, and it's not just as situation where not doing anything is disastrous, but doing something is not so. It's a super wicked problem, there is no real answer to what's right or wrong here, nor is there an answere, assuming it's a problem, on how we deal with this.
