Acorn and clamate crooks burn records.

Scientists Are Not Software Engineers
It’s hard to explain to non-programmers just how bad the [climate model] code is but I will try. Suppose the code was a motorcycle. Based on the repeated statements that Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming was “settled science” you would expect that the computer code that helped settle the science would look like this…

Programmers all over the world have begun wading through the code and they have been stunned by how bad it is. It’s quite clearly amateurish and nothing but an accumulation of seat-of-the-pants hacks and patches.

How did this happen?

Going back to the 80's, it was discovered that the computer model used to begin the GW hysteria showed the Sahara Desert in flood stage, so crappy was the software (done on an Atari computer, I think).  No matter, they simply continued on as if nothing had changed.  Why?  Because huge grants from the US government [see Sen. Al Gore] were available, but only for the "right" conclusions.  I'll leave it to the reader to wonder why politicians were so eager for a climate crisis.  What's changed.  Nothing. Except the Earth has begun a cooling cycle.

Since I write code for a living I just have to buy some of those Bad Code Offset's (for coworkers). Of course my code is perfect ;-)

When I heard there was FORTRAN code in FOIA.zip, I predicted that it would be even worse than any FORTRAN I've written. And it looks like I was right.

Finally, someone I can look down on.

Turing word: "hylec". An easy one for a change, as befits a superior FORTRAN programmer such as myself.

The charlatans behind this scam have brought shame and disrepute to the entire scientific/programming community. Jones, Mann et al. should be frog-marched down to Market Square and locked in stocks. All day, every day, the righteous will scorn. All night, every night, the excitable andy's will play their version of "Hide the Decline".

Actually, the original FORTRAN code was pretty good; but at some point, the box of punch cards got spilled; and they just never recovered.

H. L. Mencken nailed it...

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

Famous weather scientist, Dr. Algore , formerly associated with A.S.S.H.O.L.E. (Algores Scatological Scientific Hagiographic Of Ludicrous Environmentalism) until it's disbandment, and who was the creator of C.A.T.S.H.I.T. (Cap And Trade Scientific Hagiography & International Treatise) now finds himself linked to the famous group, D.O.G.T.U.R.D. (Dumpers Of Global Temperature Unit's Research Data),headquartered in East Anglia. This is the latest in a series of astounding efforts to preserve and increase tax payer supported financial backing and grants to the huge group of psuedo scientists, hell bent on redistributing the resources of the developed world and driving those countries into poverty.This of course while enriching their own bank accounts..............We wish Dr. Algore continued similar results and hope that he and all the fine crew (cru-climate research unit) will be able to get the accommodations they so richly deserve, at the Mookatorium in Arbuckle, Virginia.
