“truth” revised
NASA’s weather numbers were adjusted downward when reverse-engineering the numbers pointed out a major flaw in the calculations: A Y2K error! It turns out Y2K caused huge damages (in the form of private jets and ugly cars) after all. 1934 is now the hottest year on record (not 1998), and 2001 dropped from number 8 to out of the top ten.
I wonder how ticked off the celebrities, politicians, and other fierce global warming believers who took out payday loans or spent lots of money to pay for their global-warming-combating private jets and Priuses are gonna take the news. (Celebrities and politicians will say that they were hoodwinked by NASA, which is a government agency, and therefore the change in numbers is all Bush’s fault, because he runs the government. And then they’ll say it’s still real.)
I’m not an advocate of global warming but I’m not a detracter either. It is obvious that the environment is changing faster then we’ve seen in recored history and NOT finding out why and, if we are the cause, doing something about it is stupid and arrogant. If all the debate does is increase the funding of research it will be worth it.
August 10th, 2007 at 3:06 pmThe timing of the discovery is interesting…
Remember, they are predicting the next 10 years will be even hotter than the last 10…
But now, the official record of the last 10 has gone down…
Therefore, if real temperatures stay the same, the official record will show…
are you ready for it???
HIGHER TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS!
And the sad truth is, more people are likely to remember the last 10 years as “the hottest on record” because of all the media hype, even if it isn’t true.
It’s pinkytoeing brilliant of them, actually.
August 10th, 2007 at 3:11 pmwait, I’m getting my euphamisims mixed up. that should have said “it’s bowchickabowbowing brilliant…”
