Lucky then that truth isn't defined by the scientific literature, which is of such low quality it can often barely meet the high standard of even being real:
Crockford catches flak because she has spent a lot of time pointing out that polar bear "science" is full of claims that aren't actually true. For example, it was claimed that polar bears were dying off because of climate change, but then their estimated numbers went up. The objection of other polar bear "scientists" to Crockford and others pointing this out this was:
"This estimate has a long history with the Polar Bear Specialist Group - we provided it so school children can put down a number in a report. That any scientist would use this for an assessment is embarrassing to themselves & their supporters (i.e., other climate change deniers)."
These same estimates were of course used in reports by academics to predict future numbers, but when the polar bears refused to lie down and die already, suddenly the data exists only to let children do their homework (which of course, they are being given in the first place because scientists claim polar bears are threatened).
Citing Wikipedia as a source meanwhile, really is embarrassing. It has long ago been taken over by radical activists on climate topics. William Connolley has been bulk rewriting Wikipedia pages on climate for years, edit warring everyone else into oblivion:
Solomon revealed that Connolley, one man in the nine-member team who is a U.K. scientist, a software engineer and Green Party activist, took control of Wikipedia's entries to see that any trace of the true climate history would be erased.
Beginning in February 2003, Connolley rewrote Wikipedia entries on global warming, the greenhouse effect, the instrumental temperature record, the urban heat island, on climate models and on global cooling, according to the report. In February, he began editing the Little Ice Age. By August, he began to rewrite history without the Medieval Warm Period. In October, he turned to the hockey-stick chart.
