Quack climate science: Fraudulent manipulation of temperature data now routine at NASA and the NOAA
by Greg White
In their latest scare tactic about the looming dangers of global
warming, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) announced that July 2015 was the hottest month since instrumental records started in 1880.
NOAA purports that the record was marked by eight one-hundredths of a
degree Celsius over that set in July 1998; and NASA estimates July 2015
beat the warmest month, July 2011, by two one-hundredths of a degree.
What government officials fail to note is that these records are
being set by less than the uncertainty in the figures. NOAA claims an
uncertainty of 14 one-hundredths of a degree in its temperature average,
which is twice the amount they say the record was set by. In addition,
NASA claims their data is accurate to an average of one tenth of a
degree, which is five times greater than their new record was set by.(1)
