 How to cook a graph in three easy lessons:

"With all those degrees of freedom, I daresay you could fit the temperature
record using hog-belly futures and New Zealand sheep population. Anybody
want to try?"

-Climate scientist Ray Pierre, writing on Realclimate.org:

One response to Ray Pierre's article:

Raypierre:

What do you suppose motivates someone, a scientist, nonetheless, to cook his
data this way and make such a concerted effort to mislead the public?

[*Response:* That's a question for psychologists. I wish I knew the answer.
I doubt that he, or Dick Lindzen for that matter, are in it for the money,
so that takes out the easiest of motives. I think it's probably a matter of
ideological blinders. The perceived implications of global warming being a
real problem are so dissonant with some other value system that it imposes
some kind of filter on the interpretation of objective reality. Anything I
say would be just guessing, though. Fortunately, this problem doesn't seem
to plague too many scientists. –raypierre]
