Again with the "rising seas" gibberish and blaming global warming for hurricanes. Has there ever been a study that proved this? BTW, she received a B.A. from Princeton in 2007 and has no masters or doctorate of any kind.

Ooops. NASA now “38% sure” 2014 was warmest year on record
posted at 9:31 am on January 18, 2015 by Jazz Shaw

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.

The same Reds who said “question authority” now want the sheeple to bow down and accept their fabricated facts without inquiry.

The author manages to actually back into a very alarming truth: our science education is terrible, and getting worse. How else to explain that NASA scientists are only "38%" sure that 2014 was the warmest year on record. That means, they are exactly 62% sure that it was not.

Have a look here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/01/20/2014-the-most-dishonest-year-on-record/ Don't even read the article. Just have a look at the graph. Within the error bars, 2008, which is nominally the third coolest year in the last sixteen years, could actually turn out to be the warmest.

The amount by which NASA claims this is the "warmest year on record is .02^° That is five times smaller than the actual margin of error claimed by NASA, which is about 0.1^°. Within the MOE, there is virtually NO DIFFERENCE in the last sixteen years, even for the cherry picked data NASA is using.

Significant figures used to be taught in seventh grade. Basic tests of statistical significance used to be taught to honor students in high school. The geniuses at NASA apparently skipped those classes.

Rocket Science, apparently, isn't Rocket Science any more...

Did he say polar bears? I think he did. Have we forgotten them? The cry a few years ago was that the ice was late on Hudson Bay, and what were the polar bears to do? Well, the ice has been fine for the last several years. Here is the MODIS view from last December 17 :

I like how they justify the “pause” in global warming. They are so certain that temps will rise, but the can’t explain why. At least not without a few million in grants.

U.S. government scientists say it’s the hottest year on record. NORK economists say they have the best system known to man.

Who are we to question experts.

"...government scientists tell us, was the hottest year on record."

I'll take government cheese for $100, Alex.

I guess they’ve already forgotten Al Gore and ilk claiming the ice caps would be gone by 2013. Convenient memory, I suppose.

But pay Al Gore and globalist pals lots of money so they can save us—from nothing.

Conservative climate-change denialism is indeed dangerous, and not just because it threatens coral reefs and polar bears tomorrow.
It’s also dangerous because it’s a symptom of a much greater anti-intellectual, anti-science epidemic, one that prioritizes populist punch lines over smart policy and threatens our ability to compete in the global economy today.
This grossly irresponsible, biased and ignorant columnist includes damned near every lie, myth, fiction and untruth about Globull Warming and it's "deniers" there is to print.

Accepting that 2014 was the hottest year ever and granting that global warming is an unmitigated disaster, how does one explain:
“As expected, the USDA Crop Production Report released on Jan. 12 indicates that both the total U.S. corn production and soybean production for 2014 were at record levels. The final 2014 national average yields per acre for both corn and soybeans were also at record levels.”

Global warming changing its name to “climate change” was a tacit admission the warming had stopped.
Now it is being called “Climate disruption”, as if they now admit it isn’t changing much but we want to blame every tornado, hurricane and severe storm on this boogeyman.
