Death Valley Record high temp, 3 degrees LOWER than 1913

I am saying I don't believe the Squint anymore than WUWT. That their definition of a climate change denying scientist might not be the same as mine. 

Of course you don't. However the letter in both cases is open, the positions are clearly stated, the scientists are listed in the signatories. It is not the sites that are making the claim it is the scientists listed as the signatories. The 1200 are in a World Declaration an open letter to the World, teh 500 was an open letter to the UN. Both in the wide domain of new. You wanted names you have got them in their own signatures, a bit like all the scientists signing the IPCC report.

You tell me. Is the source of funding for research a block to the accuracy of that research? Many scientists take money from governments as regards AGW research and from the UN. I suppose gravy trains are the same everywhere and integrity of scientists is by no means limited to the specific tune called. If only we could trust them all, but I suppose that is the argument, there is a lack of trust in the narrative that calls for sacrifice from others.

As I've said many times before, it doesn't matter how many scientists - or anyone else - say that "climate change" is predominantly caused by man-made CO2. Science is not decided by opinion polls. It's decided by having working equations or models that can predict what happens reasonably accurately. But the various bodies that make these claims don't have any such thing.

In fact they seem more interested in doctoring the data to fit their models than altering their models to fit the facts. As I've pointed out on another thread they're now busy lowering the historic temperatures and raising recent temperatures by running the data filtering algorithms through their models - which is basically just fiddling the figures to make their models appear to work.

If these bodies want sensible people to believe what they say this is not the right way to go about it. Only the gullible will believe what they say.

And as I answered, science is not based on facts its based on evidence, that evidence rarely has no exceptions to its rules. 

Even if you were right and some figures were smoothed it does not change the overall trend or its cause. 
The only thing that would cause me to doubt those figures (and frankly my own eyes) would be if the majority of those figures were wrong. But all you have is a few weather stations  and a glacier. 
Other than that just  the endless, this spot was warmer 100 years ago, the planet was warmer in the Carboniferous age etc. 

I am yet to have any reasoned explanation as to why China is going along with the rest of the world on this ruse. 

And here we are with another anecdote about one place that was hot sometime in the past. Yes I've been to Seville when it was 40 degrees. in the meantime. 

Anecdote my fragrant viking arse.

The temperatures i quoted were those shown on the Apple weather app at 7:45 this morning. Are your fire charts live, online ?

And as i said, the BBC Weather Man did an excellent job of explaining descending hot air from a displaced jetstream. The same displaced jetstream that git displaced in ‘87 and ‘81 and nany tims since.

Tell Azrael, Michael, Gabriel and the fourth guy to bugger iff back home and the other four to get off their horses and drink their milk, there’s a good fellow.
