Having just returned from a beach vacation, I’m happy to report that the ocean is still within its boundaries. The beachfront hotel remains… well, beachfront. This is good news, given that global warming alarmists have been warning for years about rising waters that would leave the Island Vista several miles out to sea by now.
You would think that this admittedly unscientific observation technique (looking at something) might be the kind of thing that would make the global warming geniuses stop and say, “Hmm. Wait a minute. This isn’t rolling the way we thought it would.” But no, they’re still at it. Now they’re claiming that June was the “warmest on record.”
Well of course it was. And here’s why:
NOAA's cut back on recording temperatures in colder parts of the planet.
Back in January, Joseph D’Aleo (the first director of meteorology and co-founder of the now-decidedly ecomarxist Weather Channel) and a colleague reported that NOAA has pulled weather stations out of cooler locations around the world.
That’s right. NOAA has removed temperature-measuring weather stations from the world’s coolest locations. Lots and lots and lots of them. Since 1990 they’ve slashed the number of cooler-location weather stations from over 6,000 to less than 1,500.
And… Surprise! Their remaining weather stations, skewed heavily in warmer regions, indicate higher global temperatures.
This is the “sound science” of global warming. Do not question it.
If this isn’t proof that global warming is a diabolical hoax, I don’t know what is.
Oh wait. Yes I do! This:
NOAA says that this past June was the warmest on record, primarily because of how warm it was in the Arctic region. They got this data from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).
A note here about GISS: Even though they say this warming was driven by high temperatures in the Arctic region, guess what? THEY DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE THERMOMETER IN THE ARCTIC REGION.
No, they simply extrapolate the numbers from a thermometer south of the Arctic region, a technique that is highly susceptible to personal bias. In other words, it’s a SWAG (Scientific Wild-Assed Guess). Maybe they think we shouldn’t question scientists who are so brilliant they can measure exact temperatures without a thermometer, but who in their right mind wouldn’t when billions of dollars and a slew of individual liberties are at stake?
If that isn’t proof that global warming is a diabolical hoax, I don’t know what is.
Oh wait. Yes I do! This:
Seems there’s a NOAA satellite that detected temperatures in northern Lake Michigan of over 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
(Oh, and look how precise their satellite is: it has a key for "Probably Cloudy.")
After this was revealed, NOAA denied it. Then admitted it. Then said it was no problem. Then admitted the satellite’s readings were degraded and would no longer be used for temperatures. After, of course, they were used to help bolster the myth that the globe is getting hotter by the second. Full story here:
Every time NOAA has been caught cheating the numbers, they simply move on to promote the next set of false data. And their "findings" are echoed and amplified by the lazy and/or complicit left-leaning media.
Which might explain why fewer people are taking either very seriously.
Good post. The attached map had a low of 40 and a high of 640 that I saw without a real squint. My guess is that a low bid is also lurking in the story too.
ReplyDelete"Powerful new natural source of heat energy discovered in Lake Michigan," might be another spin. What the heck? The numbers don't lie, right?
Thanks!
