Only the future is certain! It's the past that's always changing.
They finally did it! Years of torturing the temperature data, every time increasing the warming trend, bit by bit...culling stations that didn't conform...leaving a relative few mostly in urban areas.
The joke is that as the glaciers advance on us, the folks at NOAA will be standing at the last weather station on earth holding a lighter to the thermometer proclaiming "the MODELS were right all along and it's worse than we thought!"
But nobody would look into the smoke and mirrors and genius statistical manipulation involved here. I'm the denier and they are the objective scientist. Just remember. They get paid for their work by the government who has a vested interest in keeping you scared of the weather and the future. I dont.
They lowered the upward trend in sea surface temps during the 80s and 90s by adjusting temps upward through the 80s by 0.02°C. Then the adjustments declne to -0.03°C in the 1997-2000 period...when the hiatus actually began. Then the adjustment slope quickly climbs to 0.05°C by 2013/14.
So they added 0.08°C to the trend over 2000-2013 which was enough to say the hiatus technically didn't occur.
And yet other datasets disagree. The Argo buoys deployed globally show no warming and the satellites show no warming.
Instead they relied on adjusting sst data collected from ships and figured those in extra heavy into their algorithms.
Again...I'm the science denier!
This pretty much covers everything I was going to say, great work friend.
