“AP controlled the data. That’s far from blind or unbiased. “
EXactly!
2008 was cooler than 1998, so it ‘got cooler’.
2008 was warmer than 1988 so ‘no cooling trend’.
2008 was cooler than 1998, so it ‘got cooler’.
2008 was warmer than 1988 so ‘no cooling trend’.
Exactly correct as well.
If you watch, the warmers often post information, graphs and trends starting in the mid to late 1970's. This is because we had about four decades of global cooling that ended in the mid to late 1970's.
If you compare 1976 to 1998, the climate is warming.
If you compare 1934 to 1998, the climate is cooling ever so slightly and has continued a slight cooling trend since.
