Summary Report on v1 vs v3 GHCN | Musings from the Chiefio

There has been no detectable warming for the last dozen years. The natural weather cycles have turned. We have at least a couple of more decades of this half of the cycle. Perhaps the wisest thing to do is use that time to do a more carefully audited and controlled study of the data, and with truly independent researchers who’s careers are not already wedded to “not being shown wrong”.

Looking at the GHCN data set as it stands today, I’d hold it “not fit for purpose” even just for forecasting crop planting weather. I certainly would not play “Bet The Economy” on it. I also would not bet my reputation and my career on the infallibility of a handful of Global Warming researchers who’s income depends on finding global warming; and on a similar handful of computer programmers who’s code has not been benchmarked nor subjected to a validation suite. If we can do it for a new aspirin, can’t we do it for the U.S. Economy writ large?

In short, is not the heroic thing to do to stand up and say: The climate researchers have no clothes, their data are not fit for purpose.

According to NASA’s top experts, the Arctic may be ice-free by the summer of 2012. An ice-free Arctic would require that the ice edge melts back about 20 miles a day, for the next ten weeks.

That could happen if aliens aim a giant blow torch at the North Pole. Only an evil denier would question the word of a NASA climate expert.

Freeze warning for Colorado - in summer !

Inhofe: Why Isn’t Obama in Rio? - By Harry Graver - Planet Gore - National Review Online

“The bottom line is simple: President Obama is running for reelection and is too busy trying to tell American voters that he is the new fossil-fuels President and that he actually supports the development of oil, gas, and coal,” Inhofe said in the video. “I don’t think that message would sell too well with his friends in the U.N. But just wait until after the election — God forbid if he wins — then, as he has promised, he can get back to making his far-left global-warming agenda a top priority.”
