[LINK] Weekend Magazine - Remote Siberian Lake Holds Clues to Arctic--and Antarctic--Climate Change

[Jim Birch]

I once got a conspiracy of two going for a while.  We fooled a few of the
other school kids for a couple of days IIRC.

Achieving the same kind of thing with with tens of thousands of scientists
would be a lot harder.

Do you know any scientists?  Do you think you could have got them to lie in
scientific publications for small amounts of money?  It wouldn't be easy.
How much time, money and organisational skill do you think you would need
to get a watertight conspiracy of ten thousand scientists in place? The
global climate conspiracy is a truly amazing piece of work.

Looking at it from the other side, why do the does the anti-climate change
brigade rely on misquotes, cherry picking, statistical incompetence,
ignorance of 101 level physics, logical failures, and, at times, apparent
inability to even do simple arithmetic?  There is only one possible
explanation: they are part of the megaconspiracy too!  First you buy off
thousands of actual scientists who had committed their lives to the
discovery of truth with some piddling research grants, then, organising an
contrary view that is so riddled with basic incompetency that the
scientists actually look like they know what they are talking about.  How
brilliant is that!
