Well….
Assuming the following graphic is correct BEST is better than nothing.
If BEST doesn’t continue to mutate like the other temperature sets it will have made a positive contribution.
A very important contribution would be a temperature set with all the land surface non-GHG (UHI/land changes/etc. which I call UHI+ or UHIP) influence removed. increased IR emission, decreased albedo, and change in the sensible/latent energy loss profile, in urban/rural areas with respect to “pristine” areas is unrelated to GHG. This effect should be identified and treated separately.
GHG is not going to influence the UHIP. GHG is not due to UHIP. GHG affects pristine areas and oceans, UHIP does not. Determining the extent and trend of UHIP would be helpful because measures to reduce UHIP are unrelated to GHG measures.
Also the ocean warming will be unresponsive to the portion of anthropogenic influence that is UHIP.

I worked at the ITT facility that made the GOES instruments for a while and the lore about Farnsworth was pretty rich. The Federal government as the story goes came in and confiscated some of his prototype equipment. You have remember the 40s/50s mindset – they tested prototypes of Orion (an ship powered by nuclear detonation) with conventional explosives, had hundreds if not thousands of soldiers observing nuclear blasts from front row seats, they built and tested the NERVA reactor, they were prototyping nuclear airplane engines. If not for the test ban treaty we might have had nuclear rockets and nuclear airplanes

The soup kettle thorium reactor was originally a design study for an aircraft reactor.

And Kodak had an unlicensed nuclear reactor in their basement.
It isn’t beyond the range of possibility that he put together something similar. And when the 60s arrived all this stuff would get confiscated. Given that he worked on the Fusor in 1964 (which would have been right after the Test Ban treaty and confiscation of his equipment), I tend to believe there is something to the story. Sometimes timing is just too coincidental.
Philo was a pretty smart guy and invented the vidicon tube (image dissector). He held some crucial video patents..

You are half right. The Tokamak ala ITER will never be a viable fusion reactor (at least in our lifetime) for a laundry list of reasons. Among other things the scavenging cassette has some almost impossible metallurgical requirements and tossing away hundreds of tons of radioactive brittle stainless steel periodically is pretty expensive.

<i>When climate peer review is a closed shop, what’s a radical to do ?</i>
How difficult would it be to start and fund an independent and open-minded journal as an alternative to those bound by the closed shop gatekeeping ?

Journals are the current future past of publishing. Expensive paper journals almost nobody reads, can only be found in university libraries, and charge outragious suscription fees are doomed. They can’t own content forever – the internet triggered the beginning of their decline.

I think you are partly right in stating that there is no method. There is no single method on how to arrive at your idea, hypothesis, theory or whatever. You can do whatever you like, including and most likely inductive reasoning. The empirical method is about precise definitions, avoiding ad hoc maneuvers and severe testing. There is an infinite amount of good ideas out there. Many countries has quacksalver legislation to avoid that the enormous amount of good ideas do harm to people.

When global warming causes the inevitable sea level rise, the US Navy will be able to float nuclear power plants wherever they are a needed. It will be Waterworld with power, an endless party. We’ll be able to buy 100W incandescent lightbulbs again and throw those mercury darkbulbs away. Wait. We can’t throw those away. Well, we will have to store them, but we’ll be able to read indoors again.

you say they cant own content forever but I frequently come across historic papers from up to a century old whereby there is STILL a paywall.
The most remarkable are the 14th century English weather journals which are STILL Owned’ by the Met Office!
Not being able to access research content severely hampers my own research
