NOAA and NASA Estimate 2008 will be 9th Warmest for the Globe - Don’t Buy It

Dr. James Hansen, head of NASA'a Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), at Columbia University in New York City, is responsible for pushing this farce of manmade global warming for reasons given in the article. "Research" at GISS emphasizes a broad study of global climate change.

Well, it is the 9th warmest of the 21st century....

[A. Morgan]

BINGO!

[TheConservativeParty]

They don’t know the weather for next week.

[CedarDave]

Global warming/global climate change PING!

When Hansen simply dropped data from Africa and South America ("lungs of the world") from his models rather than make an attempt to fix the problem, that was the end of his integrity.

The only reason he's been saved is we have 30 years of satellite data, so he and his cronies at the public trough can continue to say "10th warmest" or "15th warmest", or whatever, without seeming to be too out of line.

Hansen makes government employees look slimey.

[SouthTexas]

Good (bad) examples of surface stations.

[CedarDave]

Lots of good articles and discussion on all climate-related topics at http://icecap.us/

Has Hanson been measuring the summer surface temperature of Dallas Tx parking lots again? /s He is such a tool.

[VeniVidiVici]

2008 isn’t even over yet. Did they not include November and will not include December?

Beam me to Planet Gore !

The correct URL for the link in the last sentence is:

It is a lengthy MS word document.

Outspoken American Climate Scientist Honored By WWF

LONDON, UK, November 22, 2006 (ENS) - American climate scientist Dr. James Hansen, who declined to be silenced by the Bush administration, is this year's recipient of the Duke of Edinburgh Conservation Medal, awarded annually by the global conservation organization WWF for outstanding service to the environment.

Won a World Wrestling Federation award?? ;>))

For your reading pleasure, take a look at the report on this web site. It has some real data analysis.

“Did they not include November and will not include December?”

Oh, they will include them, only with July and August data inserted for November and December. They already tried to do that for October using September data. This whole thing is a fraud.

[JennysCool]

“Did they not include November and will not include December?”

I guarantee you they knew December was going to be a big time wintry month, so that's why they've rushed these reports out to the press before the year is over.

[FairWitness]

Bump, for later reading.

[stylin19a]

plus hansen does it by fabricating numbers....time & again.
and this guy is Al Gore's “go to” guy.

[cogitator]

There are so many skeptics who equate the UAH lower tropospheric temperature record with the surface station record that it scares me. They measure two different things. Also, there are three separate groups doing lower tropospheric temperature analyses (based on data from the same set of instruments on NOAA satellites), and UAH is always and consistently the coldest, with the least warming trend. (And its authors are John Christy and Roy Spencer, long-term skeptics). I wonder why guys like d'Aleo keep preferring it?

"Flawed papers by Peterson and Parker..." Oh really.

"Not less than half a dozen peer-reviewed papers!" Name 'em. Name the august journals they were published in, too. Let me guess -- is Energy and Environment one of them?

Good luck with that, Joe. I'm so impressed.
