GLOBAL WARMING, COOLING, NO WARMING….Just a quick update on that global warming chart that supposedly got shot to pieces by a couple of amateurs (“M&M”) who discovered errors in the raw data: the original authors say that M&M screwed up their data. Somebody ? it’s not entirely clear who ? exported the original raw data to Excel but somehow exported 159 columns of data into a 112-column spreadsheet. M&M failed to compare the spreadsheet to the original data and thus produced a “correction” that was riddled with errors.
David Appell has the story here and here.
There may be more to come on this, but so far it looks like the score is Experts 1, Amateurs 0.
