2010 Warmest, Wettest Year on record

NOAA has the stats, paid for by your tax money.

While there are many honest critiques of Global Warming as something to guide policy, there isn't a single unbribed-by-Exxon scientist purporting to believe that Global Warming doesn't exist.

This makes it more of a scientific consensus than gravity -- where people publish peer reviewed articles about other perspectives.

When the shoe fits, wear it.

Better talk to your Heroes Knackers, Global W is not Real

Your FIRST Global Warming Hero.

Even NASA's James Hansen, the leading proponent of man-made global warming in the U.S., conceded the "hottest year" rankings are essentially meaningless. Hansen explained that 2010 differed from 2005 by less than 2 hundredths of a degree F (that's 0.018F). "It's not particularly important whether 2010, 2005, or 1998 was the hottest year on record," Hansen admitted on January 13. According to NASA, none of agencies tasked with keeping the global temperature data agree with each other. "Rankings of individual years often differ in the most closely watched temperature analyses - from GISS, NCDC, and the UK Met Office - a situation that can generate confusion."

Other MIT people:

MIT's Richard Lindzen: 'For small changes in climate associated with tenths of a degree, there is no need for any external cause'

MIT's Richard Lindzen: 'Lull in warming was unsurprising, given an earlier 'obsessing about tenths of a degree in the 1980s and early 1990s': 'Global temperature just fluctuates. I think the best explanation is the ocean. The timescale for ocean circulations can be decades.'

Meteorologist Art Horn: 'To say the 2010 was tied with the warmest year on record is essentially meaningless when viewed in a true historical context': 'The reason they do not give this record its its true historical context is because their statement is really political'

And Finally, your Animal rights Heroes (polar bear huggers):

In an article (link) already creating controversy in animal conservation circles, a French team of marine biologists says that putting flipper bands on king penguins impairs their survival and ability to reproduce and should be ended, based on a 10-year study on Indian Ocean islands north of Antarctica.

Because of this, they say, studies that use the penguins as an indicator of climate change need to be seriously reconsidered as it might be the bands, not the climate, that is contributing to penguin population declines.

 

And then we have a Pictorial validation from the UK

Tell the UK about the Record warmth (click-link), they're wating to hear from you.

I'll see you three.
