This is truly troubling. Without replication there is no science. No we cannot take your word for what you claim, especially when the lives of billions of your fellow humans will be effected.

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts" is how the great Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman defined science.

No, by definition of the integrity of science, we cannot "just" trust you.

Trust, but verify.

If this attitude is allowed to stand, the very bedrock of science is broken.

True scientists would be extremely pleased to provide all raw data, and they would make the data available to all on the Internet.

Bears repeating.

It stands to reason that someone who is not confident in his work and
has something to hide would be less inclined to publish his data and
methodology for all the internet to see . I have yet to read any statistical
measures of significance for the CO2 variable in these complex analyses .

Some one sent this to me, and I was going to seed it, but then saw it had already been seeded. Why no comments from the usual suspects, who claim we're wrong based on the "consensus" of "experts?"
