Is that the same John Christy who said we were cooling when we were warming? I can see why you like him. "In a series of egregious errors in the 1990s and 2000s, Dr. Christy and his partner Roy Spencer, actually managed to read their satellite data as showing the planet cooling, a 180 wrongway boneheaded analysis, let’s call it “Freedom Science” – that they defended stubbornly for more than a decade, until the overwhelming weight of evidence forced them to admit they were wrong" Message 30441117

If the last few years were really the warmest ever, how come there've been fewer 100 degree F days in the US in recent years than back in the 1930's? Dr. Christy said in testimony: ‘When you look at the United States record of extreme high temperatures you do not see an upward trend at all. In fact, it’s slightly downward. That does fly in the face of climate model projections. I’ll say. The answers offered by Lysenkoists are summarized below: The US isn't the globe so all the warming is somewhere else. The ocean is gobbling all the heat up so all the warming is somewhere else. The warming is more extreme in the arctic ie somewhere else. The nights are warmer or the winter is warmer and the warming hides during summer days ie it goes somewhere else. Course all this just sounds like excuses. If the earth is really the warmest ever, summer temperatures in the US SHOULD BE UP. Oh yeah, there are other excuses like ... People were stupid in the US in the 1930's and didn't know how to record temperature. And people keep moving climate stations to cooler places ... why most of our climate stations are in meat lockers now. That's why we need to have snazzy (and non-peer reviewed) computer algoreithyms that massage and mold the temperatures readings in the direction the models say they should go.
