kääntänyt takkinsa. Nyt hän on skeptikko.

“My own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit. Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modified in the observations, nor explain how they did it.
"They have resisted making their work transparent so that it can be replicated independently by other scientists. This is clearly contrary to how science should be done. Thus there is no rational justification for using climate model forecasts to determine public policy.”
“Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated NASA's official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind's effect on it). Hansen thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress."

Kun ihminen on jäänyt eläkkeelle, hänen sanomisiaan ei uskoisi paljoakaan värittävän rahoituslähteen mahdollinen loukkaaminen tms. Niinpä ensimmäiseksi tulee epäiltyä, että ehkäpä ihminen on sanonut sen mitä ajatteleekin ilman oman edun tavoittelua tai muuta piilevää motiivia. Tätä epäilen nyt Theoninkin tapauksessa.
Mutta todisteita niiden takaa ei taida oikein löytyä. Mistä muuten olet päättänyt että hän olisi kääntänyt takkinsa? Ehkä hän on aina ollut tätä mieltä.
Niin ja skeptikkojahan tieteen tekijät yleensä ovat.

Gavin A. Schmidt:
"Dr. Theon appears to have retired from NASA in 1994, some 15 years ago. Until yesterday I had never heard of him (despite working with and for NASA for the last 13 years). His insights into both modelling and publicity appear to date from then, rather than any recent events. He was not Hansen’s ‘boss’ (the director of GISS reports to the director of GSFC, who reports to the NASA Administrator). His “some scientists” quote is simply a smear - which scientists? where? what did they do? what data? what manipulation? This kind of thing plays well with Inhofe et al because it appears to add something to the ‘debate’, but in actual fact there is nothing here. Just vague, unsubstantiated accusations."
Tyypillistä denialistipropagandaa.
