      "Improving quality of data" is word salad Scott. You are being an asshole.

      reach a point where it is impossible for anyone but an expert to untangle things. He concedes his lay-approach, and asks the critical question: can we turn society upside down when things are this murky? He concludes that 4thG nuclear is the rational approach. NT's offending

      Learning how to persuade non-scientists is a skill that is required to save civilization, assuming climate change is the problem scientists say. Might as well not bother with climate science at all if the knowledge is intended to stay in the heads of scientists only.

      so Scott called my perfectly reasonable, and evidently persuasive according to likes, comments "word salad" and declared "I'm out" in order to save civilization. Yup, all adds up. (and by the way, he WAS being an asshole, calling him out was warranted)pic.twitter.com/GDPmpKdPyC

      You are arguing the advantages of bad data over good data and the problem is on MY end?

      He's saying that trying to "improve" the quality of data after the fact **constitutes** fudging. You're making it sound like there are two buckets, one w good data another w bad, and ppl should just go w the good bucket. That's wrong.

      Depends on the situation. If you used inaccurate past data to predict today's temperatures with your model, correcting the data inputs is all you need.

          If the used original data, as recorded, they would have a hard time making the back testing work. No model can be accepted if it does not closely follow what has happened in the past. So, the original time series graphs, with cyclic trends, cannot be used. They use altered data.

          Not quite the data issue is that data can't be improved. We can make it appear better but ultimately historical sampling is limited by its nature.
