The decision to look on a given statement as primarily theoretical or primarily
observational is relative, pragmatic, and context - dependent, as Mary Hesse contends.7 The emphasis may shift
with the advance of
science and the immediate purposes of enquiry.
Just as it is important, in order to do justice to the praxis of reason operative in the empirical
sciences, to complement their
observational and explanatory heuristics
with hermeneutical and historical analyses, so it is important, in order to do justice to the praxis of reason operative in hermeneutics and historical reconstructions, to complement their interpretive and reconstructive heuristics
with dialectics (BOR 150ff, TW 117ff.).
The joint research team led by graduate student and JSPS fellow Takuma Izumi at the Graduate School of
Science at the University of Tokyo revealed for the first time —
with observational data collected by ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array), in Chile, and other telescopes — that dense molecular gas disks occupying regions as large as a few light years at the centers of galaxies are supplying gas directly to the supermassive black holes.
In a defining document about the future of aerosol research, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientist Steve Ghan teamed
with Brookhaven National Laboratory's Steve Schwartz, Chief Scientist for the Department of Energy's Atmospheric
Science Program, to describe a disciplined process for successfully moving aerosol research from the
observational stage to model simulations.

His current research centers on the development of methods that support rigorous and efficient
observational, quasi-experimental and experimental designs in education and social
sciences with a specific focus on multilevel structures such as those commonly seen in schooling (e.g., students nested within schools).
Mike's work, like that of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal oscillations in the climate record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview
with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published
with Tom Delworth of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and
observational data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work
with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium - 7 measurements).
And I'd have to say that if I have to save my life by winning an argument
with oil men in a bar in Midland, Tex., on this topic, I would go in
with some lumps of black mudstone from the ancient rock record, I'd go in
with the established figures on our present input of carbon dioxide, and I'd say which bit of this
observational science do you guys quarrel
with, and why?
Science is pretty grubby to them, what
with all that messy
observational stuff and materiality (dirt).
What we have here, in your post, is even more outrageous
science fraud from the HockeyStick team supporters — not content
with eliminating the MWP and LIA they are now attempting to eliminate the Holocene Maximum against all
observational evidence to the contrary.
As a HubTelescope from many Moons ago myself, I am surprised at how out of touch this person is
with the current
observational climate
science.
Anybody
with an education in the
sciences can tell when a credentialed charlatan is violating scientific method, «cherry - picking» data, manipulating computer simulations (climate models) to «draw the curve, then plot the points,» concealing his raw
observational data sets from properly skeptical examiners, corrupting academic peer review (both to suppress the publication of colleagues» studies casting doubt upon the reviewing officers» pet hypotheses and to ensure that the submissions of «The Team» do not suffer impediments to publication), and concerting all these violations of professional ethical standards by way of back - room confabs and some of the most incredibly stupid e-mails this side of Enron's «Smartest Guys in the Room.»
Interesting that someone that claims that ``... Cosmic rays influence our weather...» doesn't understand that the
science of whether or not GCR's have any impact is actually the thing in question,
with only very limited
observational support for the idea so far and good reasons for why it is unlikely to be a big factor.
Nick, yes to 1 and 2, leta not forget 3; where Karl is charged
with deliberately manipulating data to spit out a very well timed lump of garbage and parade it around as
observational science.
I begin this review
with a prologue, describing the measurements that transformed global warming from a vague theoretical speculation into a precise
observational science.
In physical
sciences, where an OLS regression model
with normally distributed errors is validly used to estimate a slope parameter between two variables
with observational data, errors in the regressor variable contributing a small part of the total uncertainty, it is usual to accept the uniform prior in the slope parameter (here Y) implied by the regression model.
Complex and cross-disciplinary in nature, these research challenges require involvement and collaboration of US CLIVAR
observational, modeling, and prediction activities
with research efforts of other Earth
science communities.
