  1. The corrected data was for the US surface air temperature, not for the global surface air temperature. See http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/

    The warmest year on record for the Earth was 2005. Then 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2004, 2001, 1997, 1995, 1990, 1991, 2000, 1999, 1988, 1996, 1987… you get the idea. R-squared for linear trend of 0.55 C/century is 0.73; in other words, a very strong trend.

    The US record years are 1934, 1998, 1921, 2006, 1931, 1999, etc. A *lot* more variation (R-squared = 0.14) but as the trendline indicates (0.48 C/century), the US trend is in line with the global trend.

  2. Agreed. I should clarify, as the post isn’t specific. The changes were for US temps, not world.

    On the other hand, the numerous problems with world temp sensors and calculations remain. And there’s still the problem that Mars and Venus are warming, too.

  3. Mel says:

    I seem to remember back in the early ’90′s everyone was freaking out about heading toward the next ice age. Why do we buy this garbage?

    Oh, wait…I forgot…people are evil. We’ve gotta have something to scare the crap out of us–without our daily dose of drama we’d shrivel up and die. Thank you, Al Gore.

    Quick–everybody PANIC!

  4. In 1975, Newsweek ran a story about global cooling. Pollution would block out the sun, giving us a kind of nuclear winter. Scholastic Book’s Weekly Reader picked up the story, and I was thrilled. I played hockey, and nine-month winters in St. Louis would make it another Toronto.

    Didn’t happen, though.
