The informed electorate is a tad more likely to believe "global warming" in the summer, less likely in the winter:

And so, as they say, it goes.

There has been adjusting and purging of temperature data for at least 20 years.

Czech this out...

Anthropogenic Global Warming, history's biggest scam


Come on Pdq, try to find us a biased source.

Give it up, PeeDee. Your BS factoids don't negate the overwheming concensus of 95% plus of the scientific community.

Of course, certain folks deny the Holocaust happened, too......

It's fine to challenge the credentials of those who believe that global warming is happening and that there's a strong man-made component to it; it's also appropriate to challenge the credentials of those who don't.

And the idea that smoking causes cancer is another lie that's been foisted on a gullible public...

"...He further refines his argument showing the distribution of the error, and the problems with the USHCN temperature data. He also sends an email to NASA GISS advising of the problem.

He finally publishes it here, stating that NASA made a correction not only on their own web page, attributing the discovery to McIntyre, but NASA also issued a corrected set of temperature anomaly data which you can see here:

http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/Fig.D.txt

Steve McIntyre posted this data from NASA's newly published data set from Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) These numbers represent deviation from the mean temperature calculated from temperature measurement stations throughout the USA.

According to the new data published by NASA, 1998 is no longer the hottest year ever. 1934 is.

Four of the top 10 years of US CONUS high temperature deviations are now from the 1930s: 1934, 1931, 1938 and 1939, while only 3 of the top 10 are from the last 10 years (1998, 2006, 1999). Several years (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) fell well down the leaderboard, behind even 1900. (World rankings of temperature are calculated separately.)"

Top 10 GISS U.S. Temperature deviation (deg C) in New Order 8/7/2007
Year         Old         New
1934         1.23         1.25
1998         1.24         1.23
1921         1.12         1.15
2006         1.23         1.13
1931         1.08         1.08
1999         0.94         0.93

1938         0.85         0.86
1939         0.84         0.85

{note: the hottest temperature ever recorded in the US was in 1913 when we had about 1/4 as many of those evil poluting humans as we do now}

You just implied that humans don't pollute. I think you're wrong.

THIS MESSAGE CONTAINS IRONY.

Whoa, dude! Most people who smoke don't get cancer. Only some do. That proves it's perfectly safe, because other people get cancer without even smoking.

END OF IRONIC PORTION OF MESSAGE.
