Government Data Show U.S. in Decade-Long Cooling

That's what happens when your temperature stations are sited correctly and you don't cherry-pick the warmest ones to use and you don't apply any fudge factors to the data.

Yes, the cultists are gonna screech, "But that's just the US, not the whole world! -- as if that changes anything.

But remember...the cherry-picked and fudged stations show warming. Correctly sited stations don't.


Hey Dave......perhaps global warming hasn't made its way to the US yet:D:D:D:D but in any case, here in New York, we are upon July 1st in a couple of days and have not had a sniff of near 90 degree's yet. Never in my lifetime!!!:2up:

Yep...same here in Texas. We just recently broke into the low 90's...IN TEXAS!!!
This has been the coolest spring in years down here.

A serious error was found in the NASA temperature data for the United States in 2007. When corrected, it was determined that the warmest year in the past 100 years was not in 1998 and 2006 as previously believed, but was 1934, followed 1998. 1921 became the third hottest year, followed by 2006 and 1933. Out of the five hottest years, three occurred in the 1920s and 30s and only two were in the past 10 years. Notice that the US data do not have the same steep increase in temperature shown in the corrupted data of Britain's Climate Research Unit's data in the graph above. This dramatically changes scientists understanding of the importance of the warming that has occurred since 1975. The period between 1995 and 2009 is no warmer than the period between 1920 and 1935. This error in the NASA data has lead to discoveries of other errors in the data which are raising concern about data integrity of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies.

This bogus claim has been refuted multiple times on these forums.

NOAA Reinstates July 1936 As Hottest Month On Record | The Daily Caller
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, criticized for manipulating temperature records to create a warming trend, has now been caught warming the past and cooling the present.

July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the U.S. during a summer that was declared “too hot to handle” by NASA scientists. That summer more than half the country was experiencing drought and wildfires had scorched more than 1.3 million acres of land, according to NASA.

According to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in 2012, the “average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895.”

“The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936, when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F,” NOAA said in 2012.

This statement by NOAA was still available on their website when checked by The Daily Caller News Foundation. But when meteorologist and climate blogger Anthony Watts went to check the NOAA data on Sunday he found that the science agency had quietly reinstated July 1936 as the hottest month on record in the U.S.

“Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States,” Watts wrote. “Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA’s own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again. The past, present, and future all seems to be ‘adjustable’ in NOAA’s world.”

--

“You can’t get any clearer proof of NOAA adjusting past temperatures,” Watts wrote. “This isn’t just some issue with gridding, or anomalies, or method, it is about NOAA not being able to present historical climate information of the United States accurately.”

“In one report they give one number, and in another they give a different one with no explanation to the public as to why,” Watts continued. “This is not acceptable. It is not being honest with the public. It is not scientific. It violates the Data Quality Act.”​

1. His chart is only taking into account US data not global data
2. The time period is relatively short for measuring on a global scale
3. We have warming and cooling cycles but the OVERALL trend is warming
4. The article you posted is not from a credible source. A few clicks into it and it is clear that NOAA never said that. Someone played with the graphs to get that number.

Here is NOAAs actual words:

The average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895.

Perhaps that has something to do with over 12,000 peer reviewed studies and the opinion of 97% of the world's experts.

When are you going to figure out that the people feeding you your marching orders have the GREATEST motivation for dishonesty and that the stories they're feeding you swing from irrelevant, to illogical to false?

and the opinion of 97% of the world's experts.

I know, 75/77 is pretty serious!!

Reviews of scientific opinion

An essay in Science surveyed 928 abstracts related to climate change, and concluded that most journal reports accepted the consensus.[65] This is discussed further in scientific opinion on climate change.

A 2010 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that among a pool of roughly 1,000 researchers who work directly on climate issues and publish the most frequently on the subject, 97% agree that anthropogenic climate change is happening.[66]

A 2011 paper from George Mason University published in the International Journal of Public Opinion Research, "The Structure of Scientific Opinion on Climate Change," collected the opinions of scientists in the earth, space, atmospheric, oceanic or hydrological sciences.[67] The 489 survey respondents-representing nearly half of all those eligible according to the survey's specific standards - work in academia, government, and industry, and are members of prominent professional organizations.[67] The study found that 97% of the 489 scientists surveyed agreed that that global temperatures have risen over the past century.[67] Moreover, 84% agreed that "human-induced greenhouse warming" is now occurring."[67] Only 5% disagreed with the idea that human activity is a significant cause of global warming.[67]

As described above, a small minority of scientists do disagree with the consensus: see list of scientists opposing global warming consensus. For example Willie Soon and Richard Lindzen[68] say that there is insufficient proof for anthropogenic attribution. Generally this position requires new physical mechanisms to explain the observed warming.[69]

That would be a lot more impressive if the climategate emails didn't show how the warmers worked to prevent skeptics from being published.
 
All we know for certain, is that no one has ever demonstrated in a lab how a 120PPM increase in CO2 can both raise temperature and lower ocean pH
 
Government Data Show U.S. in Decade-Long Cooling
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s most accurate, up-to-date temperature data confirm the United States has been cooling for at least the past decade. The NOAA temperature data are driving a stake through the heart of alarmists claiming accelerating global warming.

Responding to widespread criticism that its temperature station readings were corrupted by poor citing issues and suspect adjustments, NOAA established a network of 114 pristinely cited temperature stations spread out fairly uniformly throughout the United States. Because the network, known as the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN), is so uniformly and pristinely situated, the temperature data require no adjustments to provide an accurate nationwide temperature record. USCRN began compiling temperature data in January 2005. Now, nearly a decade later, NOAA has finally made the USCRN temperature readings available.

According to the USCRN temperature readings, U.S. temperatures are not rising at all – at least not since the network became operational 10 years ago. Instead, the United States has cooled by approximately 0.4 degrees Celsius, which is more than half of the claimed global warming of the twentieth century.

uscrn_average_conus_jan2004-april20141.png

So, based on less than four months of data collected in the U.S. during the worst winter in decades, your conclusion is that not only is there no global warming, but that "Government Data Show U.S. in Decade-Long Cooling"?

THAT might be more impressive if anyone had ever produced any evidence off any such thing. Besides, if you could read you would have noted that this was a review of the opinions of researchers, not a review of their publications. Unsurprisingly (to those not fixated on fantasy conspiracies) there is a very strong correlation between what scientists believe and what they publish.

this was a review of the opinions of researchers,

Yes, the opinions of those that publish most frequently.
The ones who aren't being blocked by the warmers, as demonstrated by the leaked emails.
 
How about you explain how Phil Jones and Michael Mann were supposed to force the editors of the various refereed journals to only publish what Jones and Mann wanted them to publish. What was the method of enforcement? And where are the complaints from what would be - per your contention - THOUSANDS of scientists whose valid work was squashed? Eh?

In 1998 a team of scientists applied a statistical analysis to a selected data set of earth's past temperatures and reported that instead of having a Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Optimum over the past 1000 years, the earth's temperature was relatively flat, until the latter half of the twentieth century when it skyrocketed, allegedly providing proof positive that mankind was causing the warming due to CO2 emissions. The curve was called the Hockey Stick Curve because of the similarity of the graph to a hockey stick. Without verifying these results, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made this graph the centerpiece of its 2001 Summary for Policy Makers. When other scientists tried to verify the results, Dr. Michael Mann (the lead author of the study) refused to provide the data set to the scientists wanting to verify his results

15HockeyStickCorr-lg.jpg


Finally, two Canadian scientists found out the data set used by Mann, and analyzed Mann's statistical approach. They determined that Mann and his team used incorrect statistics to come up with the curve. In fact, it was so bad that the same curve was created even if they inputted a completely random data set. The curve was a function of the statistics used, and had nothing to do with reality. When the Canadian scientists applied the correct statistics, out popped the Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Optimum (see above). Worse, a scandal at Great Britain's Climate Research Unit in the late fall of 2009 revealed that the data used in the graph after 1960 was from a totally different and completely corrupted data set. Even if the second data set was not corrupted, combining two radically different data sets (apples and oranges) into one graph negates its scientific validity. Although the Hockey Stick Curve was thoroughly discredited, it continued to be used in publications and media reports for years, and was a main component of Al Gore's video The Inconvenient Truth. Perhaps the most alarming aspect of this episode is that even after having his error exposed, Dr. Michael Mann is still a principal scientist in the IPCC and receives millions of dollars from the US government. Tragically, this kind of slipshod research has also been discovered coming out of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Since the finding that NASA's temperature data was in error in 2007, other errors are being reported.
 
Every single point you just tried to make was false.

Earth's temperature has not risen significantly since 1998 and has cooled by 0.5oC since early 2007. Even the United Nations has quietly admitted this. This is completely contrary to the CO2 caused global warming theory, which states that the earth's temperature should be quickly rising because atmospheric CO2 is rising quickly. The UN and those who support the CO2 warming theory claim that the cooling is just a temporary glitch and earth's temperature will began to rise again in a year or two. However, as explained in Lesson 3, a majority of scientists now believe that we are in for a 15 to 35 year cooling cycle that has nothing to do with CO2 and everything to do with solar activity and temperature oscillations of the oceans.
