Re: Software developer looks at CRU code

Right, but you said that the global warming folks are asking for unnecessary
spending of *trillions*.  Where would those trillions go?  I don't see Al
Gore becoming richer than Bill Gates off carbon credits.  Neither do I see
the UN gaining any more power via the IPCC.  If anything, the existing
climate treaty (i.e. the Kyoto protocol) has completely sidestepped the UN.


I guess what I'm troubled by is the fact that you seem to be stating that
there's some kind of deliberate malice on the part of those stating that
anthropogenic climate change is real.  I don't see malice.  I see a fair
amount of incompetence, but incompetence exists in every discipline.
