Thanks for the links!

Blogger Finds Y2K Bug in NASA Climate Data

...These graphs were created by NASA's Reto Ruedy and James Hansen (who shot to fame when he accused the administration of trying to censor his views on climate change). Hansen refused to provide McKintyre with the algorithm used to generate graph data, so McKintyre reverse-engineered it. The result appeared to be a Y2K bug in the handling of the raw data.

The bold is mine, BTW.

These guys ought to be hauled up on the Hill.

"For the life of me, I can’t figure why there aren’t a lot more libertarians."

Because most conservatives realize the stupidity of legalizing drugs and the disaster of curling up in the fetal position here at home instead of dealing with foreign affairs that affect our national security and international interests.

You take a reading at a airport where jets are heating the surroundings with hot exhaust and paved runways are soaking up rays and you are bound to get erroneous readings. Airports are the worst locations for gathering scientific temperature data.

Ernest, that was from your link. My bad.

That Hansen has some chutzpah, eh?

Don’t you love paying the government to lie to you? For the life of me, I can’t figure why...

For the life of me I can't figure out why the government would go to such an extreme -- and ham-handed one at that -- over something like this. Al Gore and the GW crowd I could understand. But the federal government? Doesn't it have other, slightly more important things to deal with at this point?

[skinkinthegrass]

thxs, for the report. :)

For the life of me I can't figure out why the government would go to such an extreme -- and ham-handed one at that -- over something like this.

Because the nanny state knows best and the facts interfere with their agenda. So to Heck with the facts.

[BIGLOOK]

This has really gotten out of control, Ernest. It's beyond our abilities to prevent it.

[wku man]

And the stupidity of open borders. That's what ended my flirtation with the LP.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

That's OK...there is so much stuff....

From one of the links from MM :

1998 no longer the hottest year on record in USA
Here's a story of scientific investigation and discovery I'm proud to have had a small part in. ---

The Global Warming crowd may be loosing control...and that’s good!

That Hansen has some chutzpah, eh?

I think he may have a secret Swiss Bank Account!

[boop]

Am I seeing this correctly? The temperature gauge next to exhaust from an outdoor AC unit? It would have hot air blowing all over it.

Talk about a pic being worth a thousand words.

Thanks for that link...

for others....Neptune is warming up as well as the earth....

if its not the a/c units, what then did cause the temperature jump at that time?

And I think that caused the discovery of the Y2K problem....

It's about fear mongering leading to higher taxes, Ernest. The goal is to prorate tax liability according to the vehicle owned.....then the Barbecue grill....the air conditioner, individually, from sea to shining sea.

A natural proclivity for politicians.
