October temp are up, drum roll please, 0.01 degree. There has been no change in October since 2003. That is the record broken by 0.01 degree.
What is the “bias” or “error” in the temperature readings taken? Are the instruments truly measuring to the second decimal point?
So, umhh, NOAA is saying that they have collected gazillions of temperature readings, collected by untold numbers of people of varying reliability world-wide, using a whole bunch of measuring devices of uncertain calibration, and that having gathered, processed and averaged that data, they are going to attach some significance to a difference which on the Kelvin scale amounts to roughly 1 part in 30,000?
If in fact that’s what they’re claiming, they’ve forfeited any right they might have had to call themselves scientists.
And that’s assuming they haven’t fudged the data as they’ve been shown to do so many times in the past.
