On January 18, 2011 the 1999 version of the US temperature graph (which showed a decline in temperatures) was corrupted. Modified on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 6:33:14 PM After I posted about it on February 1, the image was … Continue reading →

Early in the century, both poles were melting. GISS says this period was cold. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ In 1974, the CIA said that ice cover had increased 10-15%. GISS says this period was much warmer than the earlier period when the ice was melting. … Continue reading →

There shouldn’t be any adjustments, period. People doing analysis like these normally assume a Monte Carlo distribution of error (high and low) and leave the data alone.  It is a blatant conflict of interest for a climate activist like Hansen … Continue reading →

Anyone who has had a min/max thermometer for more than about three days figures out that you have to reset the thermometer at night. Otherwise, half of your readings are going to be incorrect. For instance, if day one had a high … Continue reading →

Hansen’s imaginary Arctic temperatures. Mapped to a sphere Zoomed Zoomed further. North Pole at the center. Depending on which side of the pole you are standing, temperatures vary by more than 10C.

Prior to the year 2000, the USHCN and GISS temperature database showed US temperatures as having peaked in the 1930s, with 1934 (by far) the hottest year – and 1998 the fifth hottest. Dr. James Hansen from NASA wrote at … Continue reading →

May, 1947  (CO2 315 PPM) “The Arctic change is so serious that I hope an international agency can speedily be formed to study the conditions on a global basis.” he added. He pointed out that whereas in 1910 the navigable season along western Spitsbergen lasted three months … Continue reading →

leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a … Continue reading →

Muller’s conclusion that GISS is golden was clueless for many reasons. One of the worst was his assumption about urbanization. To study urban-heating bias in temperature records, we used satellite determinations that subdivided the world into urban and rural areas. … Continue reading →
