re: #375 Walter L. Newton
No, it’s not original research. The claims I made about the Hadcrut3 dataset are not my original claims, they are claims that have been made, and now being made even louder since the hacked email release.
What I am going to do is use my skills as a data analyst, database designer and programmer to investigate the claims that this dataset is problematic in a number of areas.
I can assure you if I am able to come to any conclusions, pro or con, it will simply be my personal validation of existing positions.
And remember, I am not looking into the pros or cons of AGW, just how the data was compiled.
Sounds good to me and I applaud you. Let us know what you come up with.
