Climate Network Re-ranks Warmest Years
Thanks to the work of Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, serious anomalies were discovered in adjustments to raw climate data. The largest and most obvious were adjustments to data made starting in January of 2000. NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) Surface Temperature Analysis data is a source used by many climate researchers in doing work in the field of climate change. GISS has now re-ranked the warmest years and as a result only one year since 2000 is in the top ten warmest years.
The new top 10 warmest years are, warmest first: 1934, 1998, 1921, 2006, 1931, 1999, 1953, 1990, 1938, 1939
By decade, you can see that the 1930’s (dust bowl years) had 4 of the warmest years of the century while the 1990’s had three and the 2000’s has had only one year in the top ten warmest so far. in fact, once these anomalous adjustments to the raw data are corrected, many believe there has been no warming in North America since 1998 and in fact there might be some gradual cooling since then.
Anthony Watts’ work on documenting another network’s sensor locations is showing a significant number of stations in that network whose sensor locations are not within that network’s own guidelines for sensor positioning. Many are located on roofs, next to air conditioners, incinerators, parking areas, and even one in Arizona located in the middle of an asphalt parking lot.

Hi Mac:
Steve McIntyre’s running Wordpress and his site and has been hacked. I know this happened to you. Maybe you can help him out…The hard work of Steve McIntyre (Climate Audit) and Anthony Watts (www.surfacestations.org) has resulted in the identification of a significant error in the assessment of the rankings of what have been the warmest years in the United States as identified by GISS. The current warmest year is 1934. This new information can be read at http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=1880#more-1880.
It appears with his discovery, he’s made the glo warmers mad as hell. So they’ve hacked him.
It looks like Anthony’s site is down too but that looks like a DNS error of some sort.
This is really a shame. They discovered a real error in the mathematics being used to calculate adjustments from raw data. It wasn’t “opinion”, it was science. And so now both sites are down because of it. Still, it doesn’t change the reality. Hacking Climate Audit won’t make the error (or the fix to it) go away.
This speaks volumes about the “global warming” crowd as the viscous fanatics that they are. They would damage someone who speaks truth.
What a bunch of hypocrites.
Ooh this is big news – I’m gonna tell Gore right away, I’m sure he’ll be happy to learn that the sky is not falling.
Does anybody know if I can get a refund on these carbon tax credits I just bought?
