  • George Rebane – raw Earth temperature data destroyed intentionally– another view of the White House security fiasco The 29nov09 London Times now confirms (here) that the original (raw) temperature data that was collected from thousands of realworld sources has been permanently lost.  This invaluable data was processed to yield a modified dataset which in turn was processed…

  • George Rebane That question was asked recently by the Pew Research Center of a random sample of Americans who answer phones.  The survey contained a 12 multiple choice question questionnaire.  The questions were pretty vanilla about the current world.  There was only one question the answer to which may be debatable.

  • George Rebane Science meddled, not settled.  The big buzz on the climate change is the hacking of Britain’s Climate Research Unit (CRU).  If confirmed, it turns out that the much celebrated scientists behind the famous ‘hockey stick’ temperature curve committed fraud – they more than fiddled with the data, they substituted more politically favorable data…

  • George Rebane The venerable Pew Charitable Trusts’ Center on the States has just released a new report ‘Beyond California: States in Fiscal Peril’ (more summary material here and here.)  The report documents what students of the American scene (that includes the astute RR readers) have known for some years now – legislating un/underfunded programs of social…
