that's interesting, what is your explanation, that the 16 hottest years on record (since 1880) are all between 1998 and 2015 and that 2015 is #1, 2014 #2, 2013 #4 according to the latest NOAA report ? is it all a conspiracy by fake scientists and greedy politicians? |
"Newly corrected and updated global surface temperature data from NOAA’s [National Centers for Environmental Information] do not support the notion of a global warming ‘hiatus,'” wrote NOAA scientists in their study presenting newly adjusted climate data.
To increase the rate in warming, NOAA scientists put more weight on certain ocean buoy arrays, adjusted ship-based temperature readings upward, and slightly raised land-based temperatures as well. Scientists said adjusted ship-based temperature data “had the largest impact on trends for the 2000-2014 time period, accounting for 0.030°C of the 0.064°C trend difference.” They added that the “buoy offset correction contributed 0.014°C… to the difference, and the additional weight given to the buoys because of their greater accuracy contributed 0.012°C.”
NOAA says for the years 1998 to 2012, the “new analysis exhibits more than twice as much warming as the old analysis at the global scale,” at 0.086 degrees Celsius per decade compared to 0.039 degrees per decade."
Sounds like real hard science and accurate data to me. yea right. data should never have to be back adjusted like that. it looks fishy, and leaves the data up to readjustment down the line. If they can't even take and keep basic temp records what good is the "science" we base off it?
