The sooner that Cruz straightens things out the better.

We were recently informed by the blaring of progressive trumpets and flapping of angelic wings that evil energy users had set a new record, with 2014 being the warmest year in recorded history. The end is clearly near, so you should all begin getting your affairs in order unless President Obama can rail through his new methane regulations. It is, as Mother Jones described it, a moment of truth. Well folks, what can I say? We had a good run.
But wait! The phrase “moment of truth” ends with a rather important word. How “true” is this claim? The folks at NASA who declared the doomsday scenario have rather sheepishly admitted that under further scrutiny, they’re at least 38% sure it might have been true.
The Nasa climate scientists who claimed 2014 set a new record for global warmth last night admitted they were only 38 per cent sure this was true…
The claim made headlines around the world, but yesterday it emerged that GISS’s analysis – based on readings from more than 3,000 measuring stations worldwide – is subject to a margin of error. Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all.
Yet the Nasa press release failed to mention this, as well as the fact that the alleged ‘record’ amounted to an increase over 2010, the previous ‘warmest year’, of just two-hundredths of a degree – or 0.02C. The margin of error is said by scientists to be approximately 0.1C – several times as much.
What’s worse, as you read through the experts’ detailed explanation, is that even if they are correct and it was the warmest year on record, it beat the old mark by .01 degree centigrade. That’s one one hundredth of a degree. (With a margin of error a full order of magnitude larger.) Taking that margin into account, they go on to admit that the other two years in contention – 2005 and 2010 – are all so close that they don’t know which of the three is actually the warmest.
This ties into the other side of the story which never seems to make its way onto the pages of Mother Jones or in the CNN chyrons. If you are having trouble figuring out which of the years in the past fifteen or twenty is hotter or cooler, it’s because the planet has stubbornly refused to continue warming since the mid 90s, to the great dismay of the green warriors. And we’ve known this for a couple of years now.
Remember that really scary “hockey stick” graph IPCC used to show that rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations would send global temperatures soaring? And recall all the ballyhoo about CO2 levels reaching a 400 ppm record high? Yet last February even IPCC’s chairman Rajenda Pachuri has admitted that world temperature data has been flat for the past 17 years. And that was after the British media reported that the UK Met Office was projecting a 20-year standstill in global warming by 2017.
It must be because we’ve already done such a bang up job of curbing emissions around the globe and need to do more of the same, right?
“The rise in the surface temperature of Earth has been markedly slower over the last 15 years than in the 20 years before that. And that lull in warming has occurred even as greenhouse gases have accumulated in the atmosphere at a record pace.”
There should be a blaring siren and massive retraction in the New York Times any… day… now.
37.5%
That’s something to hang your hat on.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Ted Cruz is in charge of the subcommittee that oversees NASA. Have him hold hearings to explain how these numbers were arrived at. If it hold no scientific credibility, punish them with budget cuts.
>>Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?<<
I repeat the democrat party answer: they will do it at night.
Less than a tossup.
The satellite temperature data says it wasn’t so the satellites were accused of being climate change-deniers and not to be listened to.
I am 100% sure this entire thing was a hoax cooked up the moneymakers of global schwarming
So they are 62.5% sure it WAS NOT the warmest.
The sooner that Cruz straightens things out the better.
And there you are folks. NASA issues a big eagerly awaited report that supports the Anthropomorphic Global Warming theory and then admits that their report was in error.
They lie, the lie gets huge coverage in the press, the greater public accepts this lie because it agrees with everything that they have been told for years (and it is apoplectic). They then after the lie is exposed issue a statement that says; sorry about the error it was an honest mistake.
The original report is published with huge head lines, the retraction is on page 5 below the fold.
This has become formulaic. Publish a huge lie then recant. The lie is what the the public sees and remembers. The retraction is quickly off the press's radar and the lie goes on. Often the lie is restated by the loyal believers in the press as truth.
NASA will get to keep its scientific integrity because they fessed up but their lie will live on in-spite of the fact that it was exposed, tainting the public discourse on the climate for years to come.
so they are 38% sure that it's 0.07F warmer... is that it??? that's not even out of the noise level in the system.
Didn't have high hopes for him when he took the job knowing that muzzie outreach was the priority, and he didn't disappoint.
So there’s a 62% chance that they are lying their asses off again?
It is 0% true. Pure propaganda.
This winter is going to continue to be cold. The summer will be cool. The following winters are going to be brutally cold. Why? That big burning ball of thermonuclear fire in the sky is entering/has entered a dormant period, as in less sunspots and lower magnetic activity. That leads to more clouds and cooler weather. In fact, we may be entering a mini ice age.
So again, the claim is pure propaganda.
You can get better odds at Vegas. We should not be perverting NASA with pie in the sky theories from moronic socialists. All we need from NASA are satellite images of the remains from the last major glacial advance. Images from space of the Great Lakes showing their ice coverage. They show that 2014 was one of the top 5 coldest of the satellite era.
Ted Cruz has oversight of NASA now.
Talk about a distraction... we need Ted to keep ON POINT with issues concerning the collapse of our constitutional republic. I see his appointment as an establishment GOP diversion.
