This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.

Yet last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.

One day if conservatives ever find their voice, we will be lamenting the lost opportunity to lessen the impending ice age with a nice warm blanket of greenhouse gas.

The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.

The error was so glaring that when it was reported on the two blogs - run by the US meteorologist Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, the Canadian computer analyst who won fame for his expert debunking of the notorious "hockey stick" graph - GISS began hastily revising its figures. This only made the confusion worse because, to compensate for the lowered temperatures in Russia, GISS claimed to have discovered a new "hotspot" in the Arctic - in a month when satellite images were showing Arctic sea-ice recovering so fast from its summer melt that three weeks ago it was 30 per cent more extensive than at the same time last year.

By happenstance, I was looking at the Arctic daily ice webpage that lets you compare the ice extents for any two days from 1979 until now:

AlGore is making too much money, getting too much acclaim for his global warming sermons, to ever admit that he could be wrong or things are not as bad as he claims or that natural events control the temperature.

Global Warming = Luddites.

Wish we had some of that global warming down here in Alabama. Tonight suppose to be 30. Then dipping into the 20s the rest of the week. Highs barely making 50 or a little better. Yup, glad to be in the warm, sunny, south. Stinking winds make me think I am in Wyoming.

Strange we would almost never see an article in the US press critical of the global warming cult, but I guess we should be used to the MSM being part of the Obama Ministry of Propaganda.

This is exactly what is killing all credibility in the global warming enthusiast community. The constant overstatement of case and the desire of proponents to rely on intimidation rally than debate to prove their case is a parody of science not a defender of it.

In my opinion, this was no ‘blunder’. Hansen tried to pawn off the old data as new stuff, and got caught. He’s quickly losing any credibility he might have retained.

[EasySt]

Maybe we can sell “carbon Debits” based on the promise to keep using oil and gas?

Hmmmm, globull warming conspiracists caught lying again. Yes, globull warming IS a political hoax.

[Roberts]

Stunning, yet utterly predictable.

People should be thrown in the slammer for this nonsense.
