Over E-mail tansom: NASA Gets Caught Faking Climate Change Data-AGAIN!

Russ Steele

A regular reader sent me an e-mail linking to this article at Big Government by Jeff Dunetz on the shinigans at NASA to hide Mother Nature's real world from their crappy computer models. As Jeff writes, Mother Nature is not copperating with NASA's insistence that the sea levels are rising at an accelerated rate. But, then again Mother Nature was never very good at computer science. Nor is she very good at hiding reality.

Satellite data proved that the first decade of the 21st century sea level grew by only 0.83 inches (a pace of just 8 inches for the entire century). What’s even worse (for the global warming hoaxers) there has been no rise since 2006.  Now I know that some Democrats believe that Obama is a miracle worker, but even the the crazies at the Daily Kos would admit that controlling sea level is way above his pay grade. So the scientists at the University of Colorado’s NASA-funded Sea Level Research Group did what any other self-respecting cult members would do, they fudged the numbers.  They simply added .3 millimeters per year to its Global Mean Sea Level Time Series. That way they could report that the sea level rise was accelerating, instead of  what was actually happening–decelerating.

I wrote back in 2007 Jame Hansen NASA/GISS being was forced to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest year in history was not 1998 as he had claimed, but 1934, when statistician Stephen McIntyre discovered an error in the NASA calculations.

According to multiple press reports, when NASA corrected the error, the new data apparently caused a reshuffling of NASA’s rankings for the hottest years on record in the United States, with 1934 replacing 1998 at the top of the list.

Jeff is not done yet, we still have NASA/GISS 4 degree increase in arctic temperatures to deal with.

Hansen announced recently that “The 12-month running mean global temperature in the Goddard Space Institute analysis has reached a new record in 2010  The main factor is our estimated temperature change for the Arctic region.” The GISS figures show that recent temperatures in the Arctic have been up to four degrees C warmer than the long-term mean.

But, as we have reported here before there are no GISS weather station thermomenter above the arctic circle. So, if there was no thermometers were did the temperatures come from? Oh, they were made up!

Art Horn, at the Energy Tribune blog, has blown the whistle on Hansen and GISS. He points out that GISS has no thermometers in the Arctic! It has hardly thermometers that are even near the Arctic Circle. GISS estimates its arctic temperatures from land-based thermometers that supposedly each represent the temperatures over 1200 square kilometers. That’s a pretty heroic assumption.

The whole article is an interesting read, including the pictures.
