You sure about that?
Which statisticians?
Where were they published?
How many is "multiple?" 2? 3?
Do you really expect us to believe that professional climatologists never studied statistics?
Here we go
Yes, on occasion scientists can fudge the data. Sometimes they even get away with it -- it's not always easy to reproduce an experiment.
However, this isn't actually how climatology works. What they're doing is taking the best data they can; they make climate models based on current data; they take more measurements; they adjust the models; and the cycle continues.
And then, they start observing things like glacial retreat, rising ocean levels, shrinking ice sheets, decreased snow cover etc -- all of which are hard data showing that yes, global temperatures are rising.
At this point, denying that climate change is real is sort of like denying that germs exist, or insisting that the moon is made of cheese. Yes, despite the deniers, the evidence is pretty solid. As is the evidence that humans are spewing out record amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and so forth.
WUWT?
Sigh.
