U.S. Data Since 1895 Fail To Show Warming Trend

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25— After examining climate data extending back nearly 100 years, a team of Government scientists has concluded that there has been no significant change in average temperatures or rainfall in the United States over that entire period.

While the nation's weather in individual years or even for periods of years has been hotter or cooler and drier or wetter than in other periods, the new study shows that over the last century there has been no trend in one direction or another.

The study, made by scientists for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was published in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters. It is based on temperature and precipitation readings taken at weather stations around the country from 1895 to 1987.

That means all the warming was in 1989-1995 :-)

That article is from 1989

1989?

Yep.

1989.

Back then, you were not burned alive at the Politically Correct stake as a heretic for publishing such a study.

It would be interesting to do a comparison between the data published in the Pre-Climate-Hysteria era and the data published in the Full-Blown-Climate-Hysteria Era

bump for truth

The key here to note, is the date -- 1989.

The very next year, 1990, the NOAA "began systematically eliminating climate measuring stations in cooler locations around the world. Yes, that's right. They began eliminating stations that tended to record cooler temperatures and drove up the average measured temperature. The eliminated stations had been in higher latitudes and altitudes, inland areas away from the sea, as well as more rural locations. The drop in the number of weather stations was dramatic, declining from more than 6,000 stations to fewer than 1,500."

Now somebody remind me who was President and in charge of the NOAA in 1990. Anybody? Bueller? Yes Ferris, it was New World Order blue-blood country clubber George "Big Daddy" Bush.

Now why would the Republicans want to set the stage for global warming science and Cap and Trade?

Nah, I don't believe in Conspiracy Theories. /sarc

And people think the powers that be behind the Democrats are all that different from the PTB behind the blue-blood country club Republicans.

Sorry, I forgot the link to the FOX news story about the NOAA cherry picking the hottest climate data. See below:

“Update, that article is from 1989, up to then. So any warming must be viewed from 1989 to now, correct?

Unless you remember the words of Phil Jones when, a couple of weeks ago, he admitted that there has been no “statistical warming” over the last 15 years.

Probably not. I'll get back to you soon.
