#8  sorry i know it is an old story, but it is good to keep them in the memory

because it hasnt warmed since then, and the disaster stories about man-made global warming continue unabated

and swamp the google search results. so every time i see a global warming doom headline i try my best to find one of these difficult to find stories that reveal it is a load of crap - so the facts dont get forgotten...

#7  Is that why Satellite data is better (and has shown no warming for 16 years?)

Yes. Satellite data is data. The SOB's haven't figured out a way to alter the satellite data the way they have the land and sea buoy/ship temerature data. I recommend Dr. Roy Spencer's web site if you are interested in the satellite data.

#5  Why do you think that NOAA has been modifying their surface temperature data like crazy over the past year to show a big rise and make this the "Hottest Year on Record!"

Darth,
That is why you can't call it temperature data. Once you adjust it, it is no longer data but rather conclusions. Now look at how the data has been adjusted. There is a well know effect called the urban heat sink. Cities are hotter; all that concrete and asphalt absorbs more solar heat than the meadows. So what did the SOB's do? They used the contaminated urban station data to "correct" the pristine non-urban station data. Volia! Instant warming.

Full Definition of DATA
1
: factual information (as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation
2
: information output by a sensing device or organ that includes both useful and irrelevant or redundant information and must be processed to be meaningful
3
: information in numerical form that can be digitally transmitted or processed

#4  "Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, last week dismissed the significance of the plateau, saying that 15 or 16 years is too short a period from which to draw conclusions."

No Phil prefers long stretches where he can pick the beginning and end to assure he gets the results he wants.

Gotta keep the scam and the federal funds coming in.
