NASA's curious climate capers ( Computer Models say it is warming....?)

There have been a few red faces at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in recent days, to match the predominant color of its October global temperature map. Based at Columbia University in New York, GISS is the division of NASA that is responsible for global climate data and is used by the media in assessing global warming. After analyzing the data, GISS reported that October 2008 was the warmest October since reliable record-keeping began in 1880. But there was something very wrong with the numbers.

Last week the October data started to be released. First, UAH (the University of Alabama at Huntsville) and RSS (Remote Sensing Systems) - the two groups that measure satellite data for lower troposphere - weighed in. The temperature anomaly for October was much the same as September, they reported approximately 0.2°C over the 1979-2000 average for each of those months.

But GISS, unlike UAH or RSS showed a startling jump, indicating the warmest October ever recorded.

This Al Gore sidekick is as dangerous as them come. NASA must be controlled by the far left for this character to still be around. So many notable scientist world wide challenge his flawed modeling and he continues to get away with it.

From the weather we’ve had the last 3 years, i’ll vote for the guys that predict the ice age to be right.

Good find. More later.
