The world has never seen such freezing heat (Used Sept data for Oct!)

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record. Snow in London A sudden cold snap brought snow to London in October # Read more from Christopher Booker 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. So what explained the anomaly? GISS's computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. 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. #

If anyone ever kicked Algore in the ass, they’d break Hansen’s nose. What a sleazebag.

Chalk up another blunder of the incompetent out of control Bush Administration. Even though this piece of stupidity was the product of the incompetent NASA organization, Bush is responsible. I believe he is still President.

[Blood of Tyrants]

So now he admits that the numbers he reports as “facts” are total crap and that he doesn’t know if they are right or not. What a loser.

Yes, indeed ... everything IS Bush's fault.

Question ... what are we going to do when Bush isn't in office any more? Things can't be Obama's fault because that would be racism. Oh, I'm sure they'll find a way of continuing to blame Bush for everything.

Reported about 2-3 months ago.

Okay, so the numbers are off by a little bit. That doesn't change the fact that the world is getting warmer ... with the trivial exception of a 1-2 decade period of cooling that is also explained by human-induced global warming ... and we're all going to die if we don't follow what Al Gore says and not what he does: Confirmed by Snopes, the Gore's 10,000 sq. ft. mansion uses 12 times as much energy as the Nashville average even though it's only four times the size of the average Nashville home. I don't see the problem with a little technical boo-boo in a good cause. "Fake but Accurate" has a long and distinguished history with liberal propagandists.

And yet we're called "deniers", even the Church of the Deniers, as it has become a religion for us.
I kid you not!

All I know its snowed twiced since October 2 hours from Atlanta.

Didn’t they once lose an expensive probe upon atmospheric re-entry, owing to a metric/US standards use error?

Meters for feet....whoop$...!

"Fake but Accurate" That's the ticket!

Hansen’s firing is long overdue.

Typical government bureaucracy.
So busy trying to manipulate people's lives that they neglect the job we pay them to do.

Mars Mission's Metric Mixup

"NASA officials said they believe the problem was probably caused by a miscommunication on measurement between the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft team in Colorado, and the mission navigation team in California.

"The problem here was not the error, it was the failure of NASA's systems engineering, and the checks and balances in our processes to detect the error. That's why we lost the spacecraft," said NASA's Weiler.

NASA officials said that the mix-up caused the craft to draw to within 60 km of the Mars instead of the expected 150 km, ruining the mission.

"Our inability to recognize and correct this simple error has had major implications," said Dr. Edward Stone, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

NASA spent approximately US$94 million to build the Orbiter."

Barrack Hussein Zero should get Sheila Jackson-Lee to
head NASA because of her vast outer space knowledge.

Just trust us. We’re from the government and we’re here to help.

Situation normal. Lie, then lie about the lie.
