Koch-Funded Climate Skeptic's Own Data Confirms Global-Warming: "Data Is Actually Quite Good"

Koch-Funded Climate Skeptic's Own Data Confirms Warming


.....as Muller himself has come to believe -- the established data collected by temperature stations around the world are accurate. Muller's independent work confirms that the data on which the majority of the best climate models rely upon is actually quite good.

Which is why it must have pissed off the GOP Reps, who were counting on him to offer testimony skeptical of climate change, when he announced the following: "We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups. The world temperature data has sufficient integrity to be used to determine global temperature trends."

In other words, Muller's Koch-funded project, which skeptics had hoped would call into question the validity of the data backing the projections of climate models, instead provided even further evidence yet that they are correct. There's even better reason to believe that the climate models are accurate than there was before. It's science, folks.

1. Oops - how's that climate change denial working out for you??

I refuse to dignify them by calling them "skeptics" because a true skeptic bases his doubts on science - in fact, it is a principled position. A true skeptic however, will not deny clear scientific evidence.
