Schneider 1977 : Scientists Can’t Forecast Climate And They Cherry-Pick Data Posted on January 10, 2017 by tonyheller Forty years ago, Steven Schneider of NCAR explained why climate scientists can’t be trusted to forecast climate or handle climate data. “As a result of the uncertainty, scientists with a belief usually take the data that supports their belief” 30 Jan 1977, Page 20C – Poughkeepsie Journal This explains the corruption of the temperature record by climate scientists. They are altering data to match their theory. Adjusted Data Raw Data And when asked about their extreme data tampering, NOAA simply claims they aren’t doing it. The American public can be confident in NOAA’s long-standing surface temperature record, one of the world’s most comprehensive, accurate and trusted data sets. This record has been constructed through many innovative methods to test the robustness of the climate data record developed and made openly available for all to inspect by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center. Numerous peer-reviewed studies conclusively show that US and global temperatures have risen and continue to rise. There is no doubt that NOAA’s temperature record is scientifically sound and reliable Brady Phillips NOAA January 10, 2017 To ensure accuracy of the record, scientists use peer-reviewed methods to account for all potential inaccuracies in the temperature readings such as changes in station location, instrumentation and replacement and urban heat effects. By some amazing feat of magic, all of their “peer-reviewed” adjustments (which they say they aren’t doing) exactly match the rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And when someone actually inspects their adjustments and shows how corrupt they are, they deny the observations. It is essential that control of the temperature record be taken away from climate scientists. They simply can’t be trusted with it.

I actually agree with virtually everything Happer said except one big thing, the forcing factor of CO2. The climate community almost to a person does not agree with him. He is off by almost a factor of 3. Nice try! Global Warming’s Record Year Posted on January 11, 2017 \| It is widely publicized that 2016 will certainly break the record for yearly average global temperature. Again. This will be the third year in a row we’ve set a new record. It’s time we paid attention. I’ve often emphasized that just because Earth shows an indisputable warming trend, that doesn’t mean every year will be hotter than the one before. In addition to trend, there is also a lot of fluctuation in things like global temperature. So we shouldn’t expect each year to break the temperature record. But we did in 2014. We did again in 2015, by a substantial margin. We did again in 2016, by a substantial margin. The third year in a row of record-breaking global temperature will probably get the most attention, but it may not be the most important or most worrisome record set last year. It’s also the second year in a row that we’ve broken the record for temperature over land areas only. We set a new record low for annual average sea ice extent in the northern hemisphere: In addition, we set a new record low for annual average sea ice extent over the entire globe: Despite the importance of the record-breaking levels of important indicators of global warming, more worrisome is that 2016 set a new record for the atmosphere’s concentration of CO2. Certainly we haven’t really made any progress toward reducing our greenhouse-gas levels. But even more troubling is that fact that we haven’t even made progress toward slowing the growth of atmospheric CO2. The year 2016 brought a new record high amount of increase in CO2: We’re not just failing to gain ground, we’re losing at a record pace. Just when we most need to slow our greenhouse gas increase, it’s actually accelerating. And there’s also a new, worrisome record: the U.S. government’s new administration is now in the hands of a record number of the most vile and idiotic climate deniers imaginable. tamino.wordpress.com
