Revised Temp Data Reduces Global Warming Fever
1998 was not the hottest US year ever. Nor was 2006 the runner up.
Sure, had you checked NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) website just days ago, you would have thought so, but not today. You see, thanks to the efforts of Steve McIntyre over at http://www.climateaudit.org/, the Surface Air Temperature Anomaly charts for those and many other years have been revised - predominately down.
Why?
It's a wild and technical story of compromised weather stations and hack computer algorithms (including, get this - a latent Y2K bug) and those wishing to read the fascinating details should follow ALL of the links I've provided. But, simply stated, McIntyre not only proved the error of the calculations used to interpret the data from the 1000 plus US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) weather stations feeding GISS, but also the cascading effect of that error on past data.

A number of people predicted years ago that the anthropogenic global warming scam would collapse under its own weight. I wonder what Algore will do when his little charade is no longer so lucrative.

Al Gore and his fans will ignore it. Combating "so-called" global warming has turned into a religion for them. They will say Steve McIntyre is bought & paid for by the oil companies.
I wonder if Andy knows the difference between global warming and "anthropogenic" global warming.
