Climate and Weather

[Ricky Fandango]

Dr. Mann's work (including the "R2 regression") was reviewed by experts in the field of climate research before it could be published. Dr. Tim Ball is a geographer. How would you feel if the lead contractor on a job asked one of the landscapers to inspect your plumbing installation?

There is a Dr. Ball who is a statistician -- Dr. Patrick Ball --

Perhaps you have them confused.

Did you look up "R2 regression" yet? A real statistician (or, for that matter, anyone with even modest training in a laboratory science) would recognize the humor in that.

He had 8 years to produce the data.

Did the court ask the Mann to show his work or not?

I just quoted the article I posted. The particular quote is from a lawyer commenting on the case.
Read it again.

Espola is correct. You are quoting one of your Twitter masters. Do you even know why you are discussing that case? In your brain, a defamation case = scientific findings about climate change?

 

[messy]

Sucker.

God what idiots.
In the idiocracy, people liked Ricky recognize that the uneducated hold more sway on matters about which education is required than the educated! Trump has taught them well.
So they spout uneducated, non- factual things and believe them.
It works for those controlling them, because the real money in energy and gun manufacturing gives them the messages.

Now, he not only gets the case thrown out, but he's on the hook for court costs.

Who's the idiot here?

 

[Ricky Fandango]

You people crack me up.

 

[Bruddah IZ]

These loons are so wrapped up in pretzel logic they believe they, and they alone, have all the answers.

Feeling inadequate again I see.

 

[Bruddah IZ]

Did you look up R2 regression yet?

Did you?

 

[Ricky Fandango]

 

[Ricky Fandango]

Did you?

More importantly, did the judge?
I think he did.

 

[espola]

You people crack me up.

I enjoy it too but sometimes I feel guilty as if I'm an adult in a home-run derby against little leaguers.

If you have been in the game for 30 minutes and you don't know yet who the patsy is, you're the patsy.

You seem pretty wound up about it.
The answer is you are.

I'll keep that in mind.
Good luck at the little league home run derby.
You're gonna need it, especially with that hockey stick.

Thanks for the concern.

Does the hockey stick represent sone kind of symbol (ahem) that you’re really excited about, or is this just another of your pathetic attempts to deny climate change?

 

[Bruddah IZ]

Nuances of the law are lost on plumbers (admittedly, my scientific finding is based on a sample of only 1, but it's something). The professional denial publicists, however, know what they can get away with. The loyal amateur denialists confirm their judgment.

And the professional denialist theirs.

Have the Obama’s invited you to their new home?

 

[messy]

No, I don’t know them.
Is there a reason you put an apostrophe in the word “Obamas?”

Ahhhh the self proclamation.

Yes.

 

[espola]

Did you?

Didn't need to.

Although the article says "R2 regression", it is usually written as "R-squared regression" in places where the writing of superscripts is not supported. I can type it properly in google documents (for superscript, select the character, then press and hold Ctrl key and press the period key), but when I copy and paste it here it comes out as plain old "R2".
