#1 Because facts that don't match up with the narrative are changed so they do.

#3 Get the guys that reworked the unemployment numbers once Champ was in office, that will ensure the same level of credibility!

#4 “new analysis exhibits more than twice as much warming as the old analysis at the global scale,” at 0.086 degrees Celsius per decade

0.086. That's a serious-looking number, what with all those digits after the decimal point. 86/1000ths of a degree per decade. I submit to you that it is damn close to zero. Hey Charlie, you got error bars with that number?

Since we're all friends, let's round it up to 0.1, a tenth of a degree per decade. Or 1 degree per century, if you prefer. You can call it 10 degrees per millennium which makes it scarier. But then you are extrapolating non-linear data. It is great fun, but essentially meaningless. Personally, as someone who has just lived thru two hellishly cold Northern winters, I say bring it on!

#5 More cement these days around weather stations that were once rural. Kind of negates the values of any readings at such sites for comparison with rural year readings.
