Incredible: NOAA Gets Rid of 15 Year Hiatus In Global Warming Simply By Re-Weighting and "Adjusting" the Numbers
So this is how you do #Science.
There's a 15 year (actually 17 year) hiatus in warming when your theory and models predicted constant warming of this period.
#OldScience would say: Tweak your theory and models.
But #NewScience says: Tweak the data.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists have found a solution to the 15-year “pause” in global warming: They “adjusted” the hiatus in warming out of the temperature record. New climate data by NOAA scientists doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.
“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....
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.
...
Global surface temperature data shows a lack of statistically significant warming over the last 15 years -- a development that has baffled climate scientists. Dozens of explanations have been offered to explain the hiatus in warming, but those theories may be rendered moot by NOOA’s new study.
...
Climate expert Bob Tisdale and meteorologist Anthony Watts noted that to "manufacture warming during the hiatus, NOAA adjusted the pre-hiatus data downward."
...
"It’s the same story all over again; the adjustments go towards cooling the past and thus increasing the slope of temperature rise," Tisdale and Watts added. “Their intent and methods are so obvious they’re laughable."
Yes but here's how they defend this: FUCK YOU.

If the theory and the data conflict, don't adjust the theory, adjust the data till it fits the theory. Since the adjusted data fits the theory, the adjustments must be right. Tom Karl, Michael Mann, James Hansen, et all will go down in history with Lysenko.
"Lysenkoism is used metaphorically to describe the manipulation or distortion of the scientific process as a way to reach a predetermined conclusion as dictated by an ideological bias, often related to social or political objectives."
Modern climate lysenkoists call skeptics "deniers." Lysenko called his "wreckers."
Lysenko and his allies and supporters had skeptics imprisoned and evil killed, things Rat has called for. Warning, if you read anything about the history of Lysenkoism, you'll read that Soviet agricultural policies led to massive famines in the 1920's and 1930's. Be aware that Weiner boy has decreed these famines didn't occur ... Weiner boy says the Soviet Union did NOT suffer during the Great Depression ... he says OUR economy failed and Soviet Communism was a success then. |
