Global Warming? Yeah, right

Have a look at this chart. It tells you pretty much all you need to know about the much-anticipated scoop by Anthony Watts of Watts Up With That?

What it means, in a nutshell, is that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – the US government body in charge of America’s temperature record, has systematically exaggerated the extent of late 20th century global warming. In fact, it has doubled it.

Is this a case of deliberate fraud by Warmist scientists hell bent on keeping their funding gravy train rolling? Well, after what we saw in Climategate anything is possible. (I mean it’s not like NOAA is run by hard-left eco activists, is it?) But I think more likely it is a case of confirmation bias. The Warmists who comprise the climate scientist establishment spend so much time communicating with other warmists and so little time paying attention to the views of dissenting scientists such as Henrik Svensmark – or Fred Singer or Richard Lindzen or indeed Anthony Watts – that it simply hasn’t occurred to them that their temperature records need adjusting downwards not upwards.

    There was a great article at American Thinker pointing out the fact that the same corrupt Penn State administrator who refused to investigate Sandusky for pedophilia was also in charge of the investigation into Michael hide-the-decline Mann’s fraudulent data manipulation.

    The NOAA is another in a long list of federal bureaucracies that should be eliminated. The Dept. of the Interior is trying to take over New Mexico’s water rights. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/08/it-begins-federal-government-sues-to-gain-control-of-southern-states-water-supply/

    Liberals believe in a fantasy that makes them think they are smart enough to change the weather. All the while they are not mature enough to change their own diapers.

    I don’t know. It’s been pretty hot this summer. The sun has been out and the Earth’s angle has made the sunbeams hotter than in the other seasons.

    I think the country has been significantly hotter in the past 2 months than in the 6 month prior to the past 2 months…..

    psssst! Don’t look now, but several papers released this year indicate the temperature here is related to. . . the sun. . .

    @mikio, Please weigh in and educate us dumb Christian hillbillies about how your AGW clergy members (aka Active Climate Scientists) are beyond reproach in conducting their assault on scientific credibility.

    Too many non-scientist climatologists around here. The data has to be adjusted to match the theory. Don’t y’all know nuttin’ ’bout the “scientific method?”

    Well, at least the version popular with these guys.
