NOAA: Past Decade Warmest on Record According to Scientists in 48 Countries

The 2009 State of the Climate report released today draws on data for 10 key climate indicators that all point to the same finding: the scientific evidence that our world is warming is unmistakable. More than 300 scientists from 160 research groups in 48 countries contributed to the report, which confirms that the past decade was the warmest on record and that the Earth has been growing warmer over the last 50 years.

Based on comprehensive data from multiple sources, the report defines 10 measurable planet-wide features used to gauge global temperature changes. The relative movement of each of these indicators proves consistent with a warming world. Seven indicators are rising: air temperature over land, sea-surface temperature, air temperature over oceans, sea level, ocean heat, humidity and tropospheric temperature in the “active-weather” layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface. Three indicators are declining: Arctic sea ice, glaciers and spring snow cover in the Northern hemisphere.

“For the first time, and in a single compelling comparison, the analysis brings together multiple observational records from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the ocean,” said Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. “The records come from many institutions worldwide. They use data collected from diverse sources, including satellites, weather balloons, weather stations, ships, buoys and field surveys. These independently produced lines of evidence all point to the same conclusion: our planet is warming,”

...the past decade was the warmest on record and that the Earth has been growing warmer...

Is that before or after they use "...Mike's Nature trick to hide the decline"?

So, how do these “experts” rule out natural causes?

[Maceman]

These guys just don’t quit, do they? Unbelievable. Where do they get their cojones, given that their science and data has completely fallen apart with such great spectacularity ( know it’s not a real word).

How these people have the nerve to even show their faces in public is completely amazing.

A striking picture showing how much northern hemisphere sea ice has increased in 3 years!

[petro45acp]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......a WHOLE decade!

policies must change, new economies must emerge, psychological overhaul is required.....all brought to you by scientists shilling for your local government!

Not even sure if this is sarcasm...

GW lies ping...

The DIMwits want more power.

NOAA has reduced the number of monitoring stations from 6000 to 1500. the ones they eliminated were located in more northern (cooler) locations than the ones they kept.

Is Al Gore aware of this? He may want to sell his ocean front property.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Warming, whatever. If it is happening, it is because it is *natural*.

By itself, warming is relatively unimportant, because there is nothing, not a thing, we can do about it. We can work to mitigate its *effects*, but we are *incapable* of changing it.

Notice in their statement that they said *nothing* about the warming being caused by mankind. Undoubtedly they were trying to suggest that people are responsible, but that is where the who sordid scheme falls flat.

More than 300 scientists from 160 research groups in 48 countries

Let me guess,, these are the countries that will RECEIVE money from the BAD USSA!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Was that before or after the data manipulation?

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx Thunder90 !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Bernard Marx]

the Earth has been growing warmer over the last 50 years"

Correction: The Earth has been growing warmer over the past 13,000 years, plus or minus. It's called an Interglacial Period.

I was about to post this one myself!

[TexasFreeper2009]

lol

these guys just wont give up will they?

[SteamShovel]

More than 300 scientists from 160 research groups in 48 countries contributed to the report, which confirms that the past decade was the warmest on record and that the Earth has been growing warmer over the last 50 years.

USING THE SAME "ENHANCED" DATA, HOW COULD THEY CONCLUDE ANYTHING ELSE?

[DariusBane]

So What. If the Earth is billions of years old and we have been sampling temperature for 200 years (with greatly variable instruments, changing environments of the instruments, and differing methodology for reading and placing said instruments) then we have such a minuscule sample as to be laughable.

Hell I graduated third grade and ah knows that.
