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.

But they couldn't help but defend global warming in this article. They can't help but preach their religion.

No warming for a HUNDRED YEARS doesn’t mean there isn’t any..............

I have looked all over my house for a life-size replica of the Eiffel Tower. I haven’t found one yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s not here. In fact, the evidence is overwhelming that I do own such a monstrosity.

Let me get this strait...the data indicates that there has been no warming for the last 100+ years, but trust us, the planet is getting warmer, is that what they're saying?.
That's too rich.

This article is from January 26, 1989.
It would help to point that out.

It also means that there isn’t any. What it does mean is that they have no idea. They can’t even predict the weather a month out......let alone 10-100 years from now. It’s all Tom foolery.

Of course, this article was published in 1989...
Will the NYT’s offer a retraction? I won’t hold my breath.

I wonder if there as any adjustment in the data for weather station location? If not, then the level of urbanization during that timeframe would actually mask a cooling trend, the heat island effect (plus other changes including paint vs whitewash) skewing temps higher.

New Reports Show Global Cooling Trend
Originally printed at http://www.nbcaugusta.com/weather/news/16011587.html
New scientific studies suggest a trend that may have started in the late 1990s. The earth may be cooling.
The Hadley Centre for Climate Change, part of the UK Met Office, tracks global temperature and shows a big drop in global temperature anomalies since January 2007. Based on the HadCRUT3 system of observed temperatures, global surface temperature anomalies have been trending down since 2001. January 2008 had the coldest anomaly since 1995.
Temperature anomaly is the difference between observed temperature and the average temperature for the same time over a period of years.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the HadCRUT3 temperature grids to make this intriguing plot of trends since 1988. Note the large drop in global temperature anomaly over the past year
Closer to home, Dr John Christy of the University of Alabama, Huntsville, uses NASA data to track global temperatures. His latest report suggests that compared to seasonal norms, January 2008 was the coldest month since July 2006 and the coldest January since 2000.
Anecdotal evidence of the cooling trend is noted by record season snowfall totals and low temperatures over large portions of the northern Hemisphere. Please visit the NOAA Climate website for more information.

As a nominally left-wing scientist friend told me when he heard about this stuff: “The #$%%$#s pooched primary data. Game over.” As a scientist, you can axe-murder your assistants, have passionate public affairs with small mammals and inanimate objects, and sacrifice puppies to Satan, but you can’t do that.

I can’t wait to hear how the EPA responds to this when Peabody Energy presents this in court.

Can you imagine if we had gone forward with the global warming nonsense?
As temperatures decrease, these criminals would be taking credit for it!!!!

The article is dated 1989.
Another possibility, he said [Hansen}, was that there were special conditions in the United States that would tend to offset a warming trend. For example, industrial activity produces dust and other solid particles that help form liquid droplets in the atmosphere. These droplets reflect radiation away from Earth and thus have a cooling influence. Then why do they complain about pollution if pollution is really a "coolant" for the atmosphere?
