Green scientists still using trickery, Continue to bamboozle the public with idiotic and unscientific ‘proof’

Watch Out for Sleight-of-Hand

In previous articles I have shown that correlation does not equal causation. I have shown that an increase in atmospheric CO2 does not prove any connection with weather or climate.

Green scientists already know that correlation does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between two variables. And, as I said in my last article, now they have dramatically increased the number of variables, such an effect would be impossible to establish because of the complexity of the supposed links! Yet, they continue to bamboozle the public with idiotic and unscientific ‘proof’ that humans cause the increase in CO2 and the increase in CO2 ‘causes’ climate change!

On the other hand, a time series correlation can eliminate a cause-and-effect relationship. To quote scientist Wayne P Kraus (private email):

“So, when ice core data* have been corrected for ‘fiern diffusion’, and plotted correctly - not the sleight-of-hand used by Al Gore in his movie - we can safely rule out that an increase in atmospheric CO2 levels, that follow the rise in global temperature (based on the O16/O18 isotropic ration) by 800 to 1000 years, cannot be the cause of an increase in global temperature. As we all know, Gore tried to deceive his audience by juxtaposing irrelevant facts in a context of his AGW theory.â€
