If you measure something using different methods, and get the same finding as another researcher, in science that's called a robust finding. It means the outcome isn't dependent on your methodology. When you get multiple analyses showing the same thing, that's strong evidence in favour of the...

If you really want to blow their mind, show them the two other studies, that also found a roughly 97% support figure. http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf 96.2 to 97.4 % of the egg heads in that study supported the anthropogenic cause. Expert credibility in climate change...

I can imagine the ridicule if anyone said the converse of that in July. Your herd will probably leave you alone though!

:lol: Sure sure. Tell yourself whatever you will to feed that conspiracy ideation.

Clearly you don't know many scientists.

Yes, definitely. Most papers wouldn't need to re-state a position on some topic, even though they're discussing the topic. Vaccines, take a survey of abstracts that include the word vaccine. There's a strong consensus in the medical field on the importance of vaccines, but not every paper is...

Help yourself and read the thread.

Of course there were. The ruling cites them. However, the defendants argument was overturned. That sets precedent for future cases where someone might claim the same or similar defense. The defense was saying that even if their statements were untrue, that there would be no harm to Weaver's...

Remember Koch funded Richard Muller? Here he is explaining how he was wrong: Richard Muller: I Was Wrong on Climate Change

Precedent isn't important? Really? There's a number of other cases just like this one before courts in various other jurisdictions. It's been a common complaint of scientists that statements and views are falsely attributed to them. If you're a journalist who reports on this topic, and you get...

Hmm, with friends like that... Saudi Arabia Aided 9/11 Hijackers, Lawyers Claim Nuke 'em Rico.?

I thought they were out checking tire pressure. What a difference 1 psi can make! ;-) My area is forecast to get 30-45 cm, and sustained winds of 90-100 km/hr. Someone at work today was saying some people were calling it the next white Juan :roll: White Juan dropped 92 cm where I lived at the...

http://forums.canadiancontent.net/climate-change/65196-how-gw-myth-perpetuated-65.html#post2028093 Now I won't say 'told you so', but have you noticed how the argument changed slightly? They are actually talking about statistical tests now. :smile:

No it isn't. The P-value is only as "good" as the variability in your samples allows. Small variability and small sample size can be fine. Now we're coming back around to statistical power, and the conversation about the so-called pause. High variability year to year, and low numbers of samples...

There is no but...of course small things can affect the whole. Ignorance can spread, that's a historical fact. I don't think that was ever in doubt Beav. ;)

Which chart is correct? The one that says the Medieval Optimum peaked 800 years ago, or the one that says the Little Ice Age peaked 800 years ago?, And which scale is correct, the one that says it was 10°C or the one that says it was 15.5°C during the Medieval Optimum? John Coleman, we are...

Fixed it for you. You're welcome. And DB, it's probability not numerology. As in, the probability that you understand why statistics are necessary is astonishingly small. The devil is in the details. No doubt about that!

That's all good, what about the statistics? That's really what we're talking about here. You can't claim to have a validated assay without some criteria based on the statistics. Are 12 and 10 really different, or are they the same thing? If you went out and sampled again, would you get exactly...

Not sure about the board rooms you walk into, but in ours we don't present anything that hasn't been evaluated statistically. Two doses and thirty fish per group are vaccinated and challenged, plus a mock group. 12 die in the low dose, 10 die in the high dose, and 26 die in the mock vaccinated...
