Mike,
You obviously don't know me well enough to make any kind of accurate statement about what I believe. Maybe you should get the facts rather than making assumptions.
Yes, it bothers me. I'm an engineer, and I run tests and collect data all the time - data and test results are sacred. Making a mistake when collecting data or drawing conclusions from that data is part of the game - so is peer review to make sure that mistakes are found. Deliberately altering data to fit an agenda never goes over well with me. As far as I am concerned these jackasses may as well be working for a K Street lobbyist because that is the sort of credibility they have.
And your assumption of my belief in the AGW model, well, I prefer a much simpler one; Don't sh!t where you eat.
AFAIAC, the jackasses who run around claiming that we are causing global warming cannot prove their assertions. On the other side of that coin, the jackasses running around saying that we are not causing global warming also cannot prove it.
I believe that it is possible, even likely, that the climate is changing (warming in some places, cooling in others), and I think that this change is a natural one. I also believe that people can affect the climate (I think anybody who has ever been to China would agree), but that being able to quantify it is difficult because of the number of variables.
