[Skeptic]

Simple said :

Skeptic please commercially funded research is always reported biased to show what the company wants to show, or is never reported at all if its bad. The man has been paid by a company who have openly admitted they paid money to skew science.

Ever heard of the falsifiability principle? It is a very basic scientific principle.

All scientific ideas, including global warming alarmist ideas, must be put to the test by people who are trying to prove them false. This action ultimately strengthens any ideas that happen to be correct. It eliminates ideas that are wrong.

In other words, climatology needs sceptics like Prof Michaels who will test certain dogmas with an intention of proving them wrong.

Anyway, it is totally wrong to pursue debate in this thread or anywhere else by character assassination. You have no more idea than anyone else as to how competent and honest Prof. Michaels is. You are simply quoting some probably nasty individual who chooses to sling mud. As I said before, the only thing that mud slinging proves, is that the slinger is an asshole.
