NOAA: Hiding The Decline In IS Temperatures Posted on April 28, 2013by stevengoddard NOAA’s measured temperature data shows April has been cooling in the US since 1930. Index of /pub/data/ghcn/daily/hcn/ NCDC doesn’t publish raw data, and instead published tampered data which shows a strong warming trend. Climate at a Glance \| Time Series Note that there are no warnings or disclaimers on that web page indicating that they have reversed the trend by altering the data. The graph below shows the difference the raw and tampered data. They have progressively adjusted older temperatures downwards, which creates a non-existent warming trend. Until about ten years ago, NASA, NOAA and CRU all acknowledged that there has been no warming in the US. But that was before they started tampering with the data. 1999 Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath. in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country - James Hansen NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate? February 04, 1989 Last week, scientists from the United States Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that a study of temperature readings for the contiguous 48 states over the last century showed there had been no significant change in average temperature over that period. Dr. (Phil) Jones said in a telephone interview today that his own results for the 48 states agreed with those findings. New York Times The animation below shows how NOAA is now cooling the past – to create the impression of a warming trend. stevengoddard.wordpress.com

Wind power turbines in Altamont Pass threaten protected birds Since that article was published around 2 years ago, there have been many more of these bird and bat chopping monstrosities constructed, all over the place. Seems the greenies just don't care about the ongoing carnage, unless it happens to involve a couple of ducks croaking in an oil sands tailings pond..

Hi Brumar89; Re golden eagle deaths in California. I'm not exactly a proponent of wind power (I think we should pull their subisidies), but I can't help but wondering about that article. So they've had that wind farm in that location for 30 years. And they're saying: "It would take 167 pairs of local nesting golden eagles to produce enough young to compensate for their mortality rate related to wind energy production," said field biologist Doug Bell, manager of East Bay Regional Park District's wildlife program. "We only have 60 pairs." So why aren't all the golden eagles dead already? And besides, the guy is claiming that it takes 167 pairs of golden eagles to make enough babies to allow 67 to get mangled by the wind farms. That works out to be 0.4 babies per couple. What's up with that? Maybe they allow gay marriage for golden eagles in California? Like with a lot of things, I think that Mother Nature is a lot more adaptable then people think She is. If the government took it as a task to wipe out the Golden Eagles I think we'd find it a long and strenuous process. (On the other hand, if they put a high enough bounty on them private enterprise could take them out soon enough.) -- Carl
