USA has actually been COOLING since 1930s, the hottest decade on record...

Sadly this really wouldn't surprise me…

[Chef Ramsay]

The radical environmental movement is based on lies and intentional misrepresentations of data that is skewed to meet the agenda out of the gate. Of course, much of this analysis comes from those that are sucking off the govt teet and thus are just filling in the blanks w/ pre-approved garbage. Anyone want a grant to prove X, Y or Z? Pretty much how it goes. Then the media picks up this bunk and presents it as news and then the gullible boobs buy into it.

NOAA Reinstates July 1936 As The Hottest Month On Record

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, criticized for manipulating temperature records to create a warming trend, has now been caught warming the past and cooling the present.

July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the U.S. during a summer that was declared “too hot to handle” by NASA scientists. That summer more than half the country was experiencing drought and wildfires had scorched more than 1.3 million acres of land, according to NASA.

According to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in 2012, the “average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895.”

“The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936, when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F,” NOAA said in 2012.

This statement by NOAA was still available on their website when checked by The Daily Caller News Foundation. But when meteorologist and climate blogger Anthony Watts went to check the NOAA data on Sunday he found that the science agency had quietly reinstated July 1936 as the hottest month on record in the U.S.

“Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States,” Watts wrote. “Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA’s own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again. The past, present, and future all seems to be ‘adjustable’ in NOAA’s world.”

Watts had data from NOAA’s “Climate at a Glance” plots from 2012, which shows that July 2012 was the hottest month on record at 77.6 degrees Fahrenheit. July 1936 is only at 77.4 degrees Fahrenheit. [Annotations in the graph are from Watts].

Of COURSE they're fabricating the data AND they're yanking the funding of any scientist who has the guts to poke up his head and comment that climate change is the result of faulty data. In fact, I just heard somebody talk about May of this year being the hottest May when I distinctly remember that I was still walking around in my sweatshirt -- I live in the Midwest USA, BTW, and I haven't seen snow in mid-April for several years until this one. And of course we had that "polar vortex" with near-record snowfalls last winter.

What is the reason for fudging the data and lies?

What's going on is that they fudge old data, make it colder.  That makes current data much hotter than the past.  Then they can talk about the trendline pointing toward droughts, and floods, and ice caps melting, and puppies drowning, and little girls crying.

And how we need to pay more taxes or the world will come to an end.  Then these guys in the gubbermints that rake the money in, they have these friends they give it to.  These guys say they will fix the planet but it's going to be expensive.

Yea but isn't that some scarily cool shit?

Polar vortexes....

Zombie Polar Vortexes coming....

You can't get grants without a good crisis. As always "follow the money."

[zolace]

Don't you remember when the "scientists" in East Anglia were caught changing the data so that their paid grants would continue?  Their grants were dependent on "global warming" when, in fact, no warming has occurred.  Sad that they would attempt to hoodwink the world for financial gain.

I agree, if you have to fudge the data your theory isn't worth the time of day. And if your defense against anyone that doesn't 'buy your theory is to claim they are idiots who believe the world is flat then your theory isn't based on fact or that would be your defense. I believed in global warming because of what the media reported, then a couple of engineers I worked with told me to google the issue and find out the truth. What an eye opener that was. Follow the money, in this case its trillions of dollars and most of it ends up in the pockets of politicians and their rich friends.

That makes TWO groups that have been caught fudging the numbers and there are probably lots more.  It is a great hoax on the American people and just another way to extract taxes from them.  Soon we will have nothing left to live on.

its NEVER been about global warming, global cooling, climate change.. its ALWAYS been about the MONEY!!!

And who do you think is the hardest hit by the price increases from global warming? If the rich pay an extra 10k a year in income taxes to cover this crap they don't miss it. When the middle class pay an extra 1k in income taxes it matters. And when the cost of utilities and gas  and food goes up who is the hardest hit? The middle class and the poor because you know full well the Romneys and the Gates and the Buffets don't cut back on their groceries because of the increases and they don't turn the heat down a notch to cut the heating bill, its the poor and the middle class that is hardest hit. Who's making money while obama fiddle faddles over the Keystone? Why warren buffet of course. And who made hundreds of millions in tax payer dollars for failed green energy? That would be the rich while the workers got screwed out of jobs.

Who has always enthusiastically supported the 'science' of global warming/climate change? The Alinsky left, which means it's far more political than science, because all their 'solutions' just happen to be the legal enforcing of liberal causes.

Some segments of the Internet are abuzz with the claim by climate change skeptic Steven Goddard (Tony Heller) over at his Real Science blog that NASA/NOAA have been jiggering the numbers so that they can claim that warmest years in the continental United States occurred recently, not back in the 1930s. Folks, please watch out for confirmation bias.http://reason.com/archives/2011/07/12/scientific-literacy-climate-ch

Via email, I asked Anthony Watts, proprietor of WattsUpWithThat, what he thinks of Goddard's claims. He responded...
http://wattsupwiththat.com/
    ...while it is true that NOAA does a tremendous amount of adjustment to the surface temperature record, the word“fabrication” implies that numbers are being plucked out of thin air in a nefarious way when it isn’t exactly the case.

    “Goddard” is wrong is his assertions of fabrication, but the fact is that NCDC isn’t paying attention to small details, and the entire process from B91’s to CONUS creates an inflated warming signal. We published a preliminary paper two years ago on this which you can read here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/29/press-release-2/

    About half the warming in the USA is due to adjustments. We' received a lot of criticism for that paper, and we’ve spent two years reworking it and dealing with those criticisms. Our results are unchanged and will be published soon.

Driven by exceptionally warm ocean waters, Earth smashed a record for heat in May and is likely to keep on breaking high temperature marks, experts have said.

May’s average temperature on Earth of 15.54 degrees Celsius was the warmest since records began in 1880, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Last month was especially hot in parts of Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Spain, South Korea and Australia, while the United States was not close to a record, just one degree warmer than the 20th century average. However, California is having a record hot first five months of the year, a full 5 degrees above normal.

Kim Cobb, a climate scientist at Georgia Tech, said there is a good chance global heat records will keep falling, especially next year because an El Nino weather event is brewing on top of man-made global warming. An El Nino is a warming of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that alters climate worldwide and usually spikes global temperatures.

Ocean temperatures in May also set a record for the month. But an El Nino is not considered in effect till the warm water changes the air and that has not happened yet, NOAA said.

the thing is, this Global Warming bullshit is akin to a major religion, the faithful will NEVER renounce it, any more than Ms. Ibrahim would renounce Christianity to save her own life.

I hope one day to see AlGore hanged from a sour apple tree.

I have eyes, ears and a mind. I am also a natural skeptic, I do my due diligence before making up my mind on things, particularly as important as this is. I am hardly an alarmist, more pragmatic really. So, best you calm down and do some critical thinking about this climate denial you are so fond of. Not sure why.....obsession it seems.
In the mean time the truth marches on, remember the earth is NOT flat either.

[RodeoX]

Also the scandal of a round Earth. Round, pfft. I don't need no science learn'n to know if the world was round we'd all fall off.
