Hundreds of scientists sent a letter to lawmakers Thursday warning National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists may have violated federal laws when they published a 2015 study purporting to eliminate the 15-year “hiatus” in global warming from the temperature record.

“We, the undersigned, scientists, engineers, economists and others, who have looked carefully into the effects of carbon dioxide released by human activities, wish to record our support for the efforts of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology to ensure that federal agencies complied with federal guidelines that implemented the Data Quality Act,” some 300 scientists, engineers and other experts wrote to Chairman of the House Science Committee, Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith.
“In our opinion… NOAA has failed to observe the OMB [Office of Management and Budget] (and its own) guidelines, established in relation to the Data Quality Act.”

Looks like NOAA is going to take some well deserved heat. Goood.

LOL.

I'm sure it's the Heartland stable of scientists.

Wonder why they don't petition all the other people working on surface temps that have data mirroring NOAA?

It is pretty obvious to so I don't see the need to explain it to you. The answer to that is even blatantly obvious if you read the IG report. Did you read the link? Probably not.
 
I could find 300 "scientists, engineers, economists and others" to sign absolutely anything.

Exactly. Post in the right websites and they'll all be postgraduates.

It may be obvious, I see a few names listed in the article, all are the usual Heartland deniers.

It also references Bob Tisdale as a 'climate expert' (!) when he's basically a blogger with no scientific background and an uncanny knack for getting things wrong.

You still didn't read the IG report. The IG report is what I am interested in. I guess I need to dig the report out.

Really? Who else has data "mirroring NOAA?"
 
Threegoofs said:
Well, thats generally a pretty strong clue.

I'm guessing this is sarcasm rather than a sorely needed realization on your part.

Of course its sarcasm.... or is it?

This is obviously how you think.

So...

I can't help but laugh!

You mean the report that was not linked in your nutjob source article?

No, I didn't see it.

The post right above your reply links it. It is amazing how any person of at least average powers of observation could miss it.

Obviously, I didn't see your post.

But you obviously didn't even glance at the report. It's primary point- at the end of the first section, states:

"Our evaluation examined the data quality procedures EPA used in developing the endangerment finding. We did not assess whether the scientific information and data supported the endangerment finding."

Yep, you didn't read the report. It also says there were major failures in the peer reviews by their own standards.

Of the 300 letter signers, 150 had doctorates in a related field. Signers also included: 25 climate or atmospheric scientists, 23 geologists, 18 meteorologists, 51 engineers, 74 physicists, 20 chemists and 12 economists. Additionally, one signer was a Nobel Prize winning physicist and two were astronauts.

Would any of them be a Nobel prize winning physicist or astronauts?

Or most of them could be 'others'...

Others, one of whom has a Nobel prize....

You sure hold Nobelists up high.

You realize the Nobel committees have granted a Nobel to IPCC, right?

Over the last few years, they have disgraced themselves by such honors. Alfred Nobel must be turning in his grave.

I'm sure they'll take you and your small band of deniers opinions into account.

In fact, I'm betting they already have.
