LOL!!!!!!

Calculating the Probability of Rankings for 2014

...

Using a Monte Carlo approach (Arguez et al, 2013), NCDC considered the known uncertainty of the global land and ocean annual temperature in the 2014 annual ranking. Taking into account the uncertainty and assuming all years (1880-2014) in the time series are independent, the chance of 2014 being

Warmest year on record: 48.0% One of the five warmest years: 90.4% One of the 10 warmest years: 99.2% One of the 20 warmest years: 100.0% Warmer than the 20th century average: 100.0% Warmer than the 1981-2010 average: 100.0% NCDC follows these conventions to categorize the confidence associated with assertions made with respect to ranks used in the report:

PROBABILITY DESCRIPTOR > 99% "almost certain" 90% - 99% "very likely" 66.7% - 90% "likely" 50% - 66.7% "more likely than not" 33.3% - 50% "more unlikely than likely" 10% - 33.3% "unlikely" 1% - 10% "very unlikely" < 1% "almost certainly not"

They argued that the overall Earth's temperature went up 1/100 of a single degree from 58.45 to 58.46.

And because of that.... were all going to die, doom and gloom it the end of the world rubbish.

These clowns are looking for any lie to push their justification for the “carbon” tax.

It would all be laughable if the Republicans did not have such despicable weaklings like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell leading the congress.

Yes, but, how does that make you feel ?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh, so THAT's what they meant!

DOOMAGE!

But TWC has pulled all the average annual temperature charts from their websites so you can’t refute the claims.

I believe the margin is higher and they choose the numbers to match their pre-determined outcome.
The latest trend against Citizens is to lower the amount of gain to a more manageable lie. Which
is also a lie and does not even mater.

So what if we're warming, it's cooling that Kills due to famine and temperature.
How will they heat the earth in 20-200-years when it's cooling more rapidly?
Answer: Just die already.

The real cause of GW is the lie. And we cannot control either.

We just came through the coldest Summer in over 30 years. I question the veracity of the statement that 2014 was one of the warmest years on record. The two statements are not logically compatible.

[Proud2BeRight]

What would happen to a NOAA employee or department if they came up with a study that showed no warming or even cooling?

[TauntedTiger]

California had a fantastic summer. Cooling locally, warming globally.

Looks like they are using multiple guess "science" these days...
