#1 I have two "grand-rats" that are being indoctrinated to "Global Warming" through $ paid to University of Wisconsin, Green Bay. The kids are totally unable to to even consider that the stix may be skewed towards proving Goreski's cash-cow thesis. Disgusting misuse of taxpayers and parent $$$....

#3 Hansen and his cronies manipulated the raw data to normalize the data set...to account for bad data and poor instrument siting. However, the al-gore-ithm they used effectively inserted a positive bias on the raw data...especially skewing the data after the year 2000. The USHCN (U.S. Historical Climatology Network) raw and adjusted data are from NOAA, the keeper of the data sets.

The bottom line?

Four of the top 10 warm years are now from the 1930s: 1934, 1931, 1938 and 1939, while only 3 of the top 10 are from the last 10 years (1998, 2006, 1999). Several years (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) fell well down the on the list, behind even 1900. Most importantly, according to the GISS, 1998 is no longer the warmest year in American history. That honor once again belongs to 1934.

Al Gore's poster child, James Hansen made changes to the data which supported their claim of accelerated Global Warming...and got caught. Imagine that.
