AGW scienceyists could learn from these guys

Found at WND is this Big Government post:

There is ample reason to believe that this photograph supplied to news
organizations by the Associated Press has been substantially
color-enhanced, perhaps to convey a false impression of pollution
coming from a smoke stack from a purported coal-fueled power plant in
Kansas. Here is a detailed description of the evidence that the
original photo was either a black-and-white image, or a color image
which was converted to black-and-white, and then colorized for dramatic
effect.


This by a man who's job is to retouch photos. But there's more!
The evidence that this photo was originally a grayscale or black-and-white
image was arrived at with a simple Photoshop process. We encourage other
Photoshop enthusiasts and experts to recreate our work. (Here is the largest version of the image we could find)

1) Add a Hue/Sat adjustment layer directly above the original jpeg.
2) Drop the saturation percentage for both the Yellows and Reds Edit
category down to zero. Note how the image is now a perfectly even
balance of the Red Green and Blue. This is easily viewable in the Info
palette as you move the cursor over the image.

This is only possible if the original image is black-and-white or grayscale.

In a normal full-color image, there WILL be variances in the tone of the
blues and greens. The desaturating of the Yellows and Reds would not touch
the cooler colors. The other colors are not there.

This leads me to believe that this is a black and white image that has been
colorized!

Do you see what he did there?! He had a theory; did some
observation and experiments; published his results; invited peer-review,
and went through his methodology. Like real science!
