Models, theories and statistics all go together as part of the science of climate change. However, statistics are easy to manipulate to sell a theory, and climate activists have no problem adjusting data to sell their story. Sampling size and algorithms are critical to the end result but are sometimes changed by scientists to prove their theory. It happens all the time if you look at the Presidential polling data. Sometimes, the statisticians poll more Democrats than Republicans, so the most likely results will show the Democrat seeming to lead when, in fact, it may be the Republican leading. It goes much deeper than this example, but you get the point. And this is why scientists from outside the echo chamber are omitted and often ostracized for disagreeing. This whole cultist group wants nothing to do if you are not in line with what they want.
The following is from Psychology Today:
“Mark Twain wrote, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
Twain’s warning not to accept all statistical analysis as truthful applies equally to all sorts of data analysis. The most glaring example of data reaching the wrong conclusions is the polling results from the last two presidential elections. The projections weren’t lies, but they were misleading because polling is exceedingly difficult to conduct. Polls have to ensure that the sample is representative, a difficult accomplishment in sensitive areas such as politics and sex. Polling also relies upon respondents giving truthful answers. The questions asked must be sufficiently clear and concise so that respondents know what they are answering.”

Our government and other world entities are using the same math (statistics) to sell the great fear of climate change destroying our planet if we do not change. In fact, we are being told we do not have much time left. But look at the right side of the image below and notice the chart on the right side. Notice that the IPCC statistical model is way out of the range of 38 other models that are being ignored. Why? Because these models counter the climate activists’ story of fear and famine if we don’t act NOW! While we must act, we should not put the cart before the horse, which is what the IPCC, UN and our government are doing. Look at the EV push without a supporting infrastructure. Who wants to risk taking a long trip and having your battery drain to zero percent? You would think the intellectuals would have thought about this before mandating EVs. That is why EVs are sitting on dealers’ car lots with no demand. The current process is similar to building massive gas vehicles without gas stations nationwide. Think about it.
People would be a lot more accepting of joining the climate change initiative if climate activists worked with others and did not use fear, lies and data manipulation. This global effort will work if climate activists' tactics change. How about allowing other scientists to talk as a start? How about explaining how the current model is out of line with other scientists? How about truth and transparency?
It is time to put some protesting activists in jail because they are not peacefully protesting. They are trying to destroy historic art, statues and other items that cannot be replaced. Some glue or chain themselves to roads to create havoc, and they do. That is not peaceful protesting. People could die by the actions of these nuts because an ambulance or firetruck may get delayed when seconds count. It is time to join together for solutions based on truth and science, with scientists from both sides of the aisle as part of the discussion. Unlike John Kerry’s approach with hair on fire, do as I say, not as I do. It's funny how Kerry slid silently from the forefront and parked his private jet. Maybe he overstepped his Czar Climate duties and decided it was time to run.
I am all for climate actions to help our world and environment, but cooperation and transparency go a long way. Not dictatorship actions by our government, UN or European Union elitists that think they know better than everyone else—all IMO.
