But if you look at 50, even if you don't find anything, that
null result still says something very interesting about whether or not life is rare out there....
He claims that this can be corrected for, but he
still isn't using the proper
null — in M&N they show the
results from the ensemble means (of the GISS model and the full AR4 model set), but seem to be completely ignorant of the fact that ensemble mean
results remove the spatial variations associated with internal variability which should be the exact thing you would use!
