It’s not how it looks. The climate folks who are trying to get more money to encourage more tampering “research” promise us they didn’t fudge the numbers. They are “adjusted.” That’s the scientific term, you knuckle-dragging commoner.
The fact that the ‘adjustment’ was necessary to justify continued alarmism, and that it also excuses bigger budgets, more spending, and their paychecks are just a coincidence. These are “scientists.” They would never do that. Ever.
