When I read that that NOAA said the US hadn't been warming in the century before 1989 I figured we didn't have anything big to worry about: NOAA also said in 1989 that there had been no warming in the US from 1895 to 1989. U.S. Data Since 1895 Fail To Show Warming Trend Message 30643861 noaa no warming U.S. Data Since 1895 Fail To Show Warming Trend by PHILIP SHABECOFF, Special to the New York Times Published: January 26, 1989WASHINGTON, Jan. 25— After examining climate data extending back nearly 100 years, a team of Government scientists has concluded that there has been no significant change in average temperatures or rainfall in the United States over that entire period. While the nation's weather in individual years or even for periods of years has been hotter or cooler and drier or wetter than in other periods, the new study shows that over the last century there has been no trend in one direction or another. The study, made by scientists for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was published in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters. It is based on temperature and precipitation readings taken at weather stations around the country from 1895 to 1987. ........................ http://www.nytimes.com/1989/01/26/us/us-data-since-1895-fail-to-show-warming-trend.html Even James Hansen agreed the US hadn't warmed in the half century ending in 1999: NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate?
