Dennis Miller put it best. Something to the effect....

A hundred years ago, people were still going outside to crap, just how much faith do you want to put into the weather record keeping of the time?

In 1960 there were about 200 weather stations worldwide and their records depended on the janitor remembering to write down the temperature at noon. How you would extrapolate this kind of data to a global temperature is a kind of mystery.

Statistics. There is no way we know what the average temperature was 100 years ago, nor do we know now. It all depends on how you analyze the raw data.

The provisional global figure for 2007 using data from January to November, currently places the year as the seventh warmest on records dating back to 1850.

Well THERE is the problem Pseudo Scientists. Your range is far too small to be taken seriously considering the planet is billion of years old.

The World Meteorological Organization is a corrupt, UN mouthpiece.

Embezzlement scandal

[The WMO is being investigated by Swiss authorities over allegations of vote-buying in its election process. Swiss prosecutors are investigating whether delegates at the WMO received payments from former employee, Muhammad Hassan, to sway the outcome of the 2003 election. Hassan, a Sudanese national, served as chief of the fellowship program in WMO’s training department and is suspected of stealing $3.5 million from the WMO.]

What happened to the re-calculation a few months back that made 1934 the warmest year in the last century?

“On record” being the key phrase. In the meantime, they’re telling us that the snows of Kilamanjaro are melting for the first time in 11,000 years. Though they don’t tell us how they know that. Or more importantly, what caused the melting then.

The University of East Anglia and the Met Office's Hadley Centre have released preliminary global temperature figures

If they are in keeping with past studies by this group, the methods by which they arrived at the figures are deep, dark secrets. GISS has been far more forthcoming - they at least will tell you what sites they used, even if they only recently provided even partial information on how they did the calculations.

". . . records dating back to 1850"


Glad to see they've figured out the earth's thermal patterns in 157 years!!

From the 40s to the 70s, the fear was global cooling. In the 80s, the fear was a shrinking ozone layer. In the 90s, the fear was radon level. In this decade, the fear is global warming. Does anyone else see the pattern that’s developing, i.e., that a group of people is exciting everyone to the ridiculous every 10 years?

How in the heck do you measure sea level to a degree of accuracy sufficient to resolve an annual increase on the order of one millimeter?

Looks like in those lower charts they have removed any data prior to 1961. Also, I remember reading recently that the way in which they compute the annual temp averages was changed after the revelation by pajamahedeen that 1998 was not the warmest year on record.

As 1998 disappears over the rearward event horizon, the alarmists will find their row tougher to hoe.

Best I can tell, this article is false, based on NASA's public correction of its mistakes in measuring/reporting global temperatures by year. So, this is a lie by scientists who haven't read the reports about the false data they're relying on.

In the history of earth, 100 years is absolutely nothing. This is so ridiculous.
