Oops. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been caught with its dirty little fingers in the fudge drawer… again.
NOAA has been cooking the books. Yet again – presumably for reasons more to do with ideology than meteorology – NOAA has adjusted past temperatures to look colder than they were and recent temperatures to look warmer than they were.
We’re not talking fractions of a degree, here. The adjustments amount to a whopping 3.1 degrees F. This takes us well beyond the regions of error margins or innocent mistakes and deep into the realm of fiction and political propaganda.
This all started when some smart guy looked at the raw data covering the recent polar vortex storms in the Northeastern United States, and found the disparity as noted above. The data had been “smoothed” (weasel statistician word meaning “altered”) and guess in which direction? Why, to support the Glueball Wormening narrative, of course.
And by the way: you know how the Arctic ice cap is at its lowest level in history? Ummm not so.
And you know how it never snows in Rome? Also not so. And Naples?
And you know how The Independent said that British children will grow up never having seen snow? Not this generation, anyway.
Enjoy the read.
And it’s getting warmer in Canada.
Not.
Some of us are all in favor of global warming, given my home had just over a mile of ice on top of it in the last ice age. When it gets warm enough I’m buying a farm in the North West Territories and raising grapes.
