This article in Nature mag nails it.
Ideological thinking like Interbane's simply refuse to acknowledge the realities of scientific practice within and inseparable from a social context.

"Pecisely. Replication of the sort that can be done with tightly controlled laboratory experiments is indeed often impossible when you are studying the behaviour of dynamic, complex systems, for example at the intersection of human health, the natural environment and technological risks. But it is hard to see how this amounts to an argument against mandating open access to the data from these studies. Growing concerns about the quality of published scientific results have often singled out bad statistical practices and modelling assumptions, and have typically focused on the very types of science that often underlie regulations, such as efforts to quantify the population-wide health effects of a single chemical."

Yay. The US will soon be paying reparations for extreme weather caused by climate change!
Interbane, this aligns with your socialism doesnt it?
Great way to distribute some wealth, huh?

The website? It's garbage. As for green energy hurting the poor, there's some truth to that. But there are also ways around it.

Re: Matt Ridley, "The Climate Wars’ Damage to Science"

You wouodnt even understand the science they discuss and cite anyway.
Youre just a bandwagon groupie.

Thanks for that.

More miscalculations and "it is not known"s
But yeah, as a sink, the ocean is a significant aspect of climate variability.
And little is known on how that impacts long term forcasting.
