Haven’t had one of these for a while – but as more and more evidence starts to come in that anthropogenic global warming is the biggest hoax in human history, we’ll start having a lot of them. Meanwhile, this particular story is of either exceptional boneheadedness or, alternately, a bit of global warming alarmist book-cooking which was caught:
A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.
This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China’s official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its “worst snowstorm ever”. In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.
So what explained the anomaly? GISS’s computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.
The error was so glaring that when it was reported on the two blogs – run by the US meteorologist Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, the Canadian computer analyst who won fame for his expert debunking of the notorious “hockey stick” graph – GISS began hastily revising its figures. This only made the confusion worse because, to compensate for the lowered temperatures in Russia, GISS claimed to have discovered a new “hotspot” in the Arctic – in a month when satellite images were showing Arctic sea-ice recovering so fast from its summer melt that three weeks ago it was 30 per cent more extensive than at the same time last year.
Their biggest fear – that a year will come soon which shows a drop in average global temperatures. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out that we’ve already had such, but the data has been so obscured by the global warming zealots that it hasn’t gotten out. Right now, the key for the alarmists is to keep the alarm up long enough for Executive and legislative steps to be taken under President Obama – they have to get global warming encoded in US law and regulation quickly, before the facts all come out. Once the laws and regulations are in, it will be exceptionally hard to get them out, even if we have 10 years of declining temperatures right after we’ve implemented the alarmist’s agenda.
I wonder, though, if we could work up a class action lawsuit against Al Gore and the entire environmentalist movement? Fraud must have a penalty, ya know?

We must remember that it is the Sun that determines our seasons, and thusly has a greater impact upon the climate than we could ever even try to achieve. In May of 2006, a report came forward revealing that a massive hurricane-like storm that occurred on Jupiter may be caused by climate change occurring on the planet, which is expected to raise its temperatures by 10 degrees. National Geographic News reported that a simultaneous rising in temperature on both Mars and Earth suggest that climate change is indeed a natural phenomenon as opposed to being man-made. The report further explains how NASA has reported that Mars’ carbon dioxide ice caps have been melting for a few years now. Sound familiar? An astronomical observatory in Russia declared that, “the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun”. They further point out that both Mars and Earth have, throughout their histories, experienced periodic ice ages as climate changes in a continuous fashion. NASA has also been observing massive storms on Saturn, which indicate a climate change occurring on that planet as well. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has also been recording massive climate changes on Neptune’s largest moon, Triton. Triton, whose surface was once made up of frozen nitrogen, is now turning into gas. The Associated Press has reported that satellites that measure the temperature of sunlight have been recording an increase in the sun’s temperature, meaning that the sun itself is warming up. Even the London Telegraph reported in 2004 that global warming was due to the sun being hotter than it has ever been in the past 1,000 years. They cited this information from research conducted by German and Swiss scientists who claim that it is increasing radiation from the sun that is resulting in our current climate change.
Orlando,
Oh, I think I’m pretty certain how it works – understanding, of course, that I am layman in the realm of science.
Gotta remember, though, that I’m old enough to remember when human CO2 emissions were being blamed for the coming ice age. Given that the same theory was used to account for cold in the 70’s and heat in the 90’s, I was immediately mistrustful of AGW when first proposed.
I’m also old enough to remember how we were supposed to have a massive famine in 1974 and run out of oil in the 1980’s….
You see, I’ve been around this block too many times – until there is rock solid science – not computer models and not a series of suppositions unsupported by hard data – I’m just not going to buy AGW. And, now, we’re starting to see data indicating a cooling trend is in the offing. In other words, yet another “we’re all gonna die!’ environmentalist alarm is proving to be utter BS from start to finish.
Al Gore said we had 10 years to stop Global Warming, to prevent the seas from rising to disasterous levels.
That was about 6 years ago…Please show us where these levels have significantly risen.
In the meantime, Gore has seen his bank balance rise far greater than sea levels have.
“Democratic Mule, You aren’t providing answers, by asking me for credible sources and ignoring that the Ozone layer resides much higher up than CO2 can reach due to its weight.”
You are correct. In no way does carbon dioxide affect the ozone. Sorry about the mistake. But before you stop reading, it isn’t CO2 that’s the problem with the ozone. It’s clouroflourocarbons, a material found in old air conditioners and fridges. The U.S banned clouroflourocarbons, or CFC’s, years ago. However, today we are not worried about a hole in the ozone layer anymore. We believe that carbon is acting like a blanket, allowing heat in but not letting it out.
