I have not all my facts yet, but I do not think there are any insuperable difficulties. Still, it is an error to argue in front of your data. You find yourself insensibly twisting them round to fit your theories.

This quotation turned up rather unexpectedly in something I was reading this week, and it sounds like good advice for all climate scientists. Unfortunately I can’t offer a prize for identifying who these wise words are attributed to, but can anyone supply the answer WITHOUT using Google?
