### I used to think that #1 was real, and #2 unknown but with the
Climategate unfolding I no longer even trust #1. Looks like GISS, NCDC
and CRU have been applying some very bizarre corrections to raw
temperature readings, inflating the temperatures by 0.2 C or even
more.

Simply being grossly overconfident in estimating one's ability to
model climate (the basis for #2) is one thing, but massaging raw data
to create the appearance of warming is enough to cause a whole new
level of distrust. The problem with climate science is that thousands
of people rely on highly processed inputs (global temperature data
analyses, all generated by a small, tight-knit group) to their own
research, and if these inputs are corrupt, thousands of articles
downstream are corrupted as well.
