To conclude that CO2 emissions are a threat to the environment would be doubtful and premature. Only a closer examination of the atmosphere over a long period and further detailed studies will decide the matter,” Barrett said in a recent scientific paper which caused frissons of anger among scientists.

Barrett, from Imperial College’s chemistry department, pours thinly veiled scorn on the arguments of the “warmers”, saying they are based on unreliable data, misunderstand the self-correcting nature of the earth’s atmosphere and represent science-by-committee. He says IPCC scientists based their theories on the fact that the earth’s temperature has increased by 0.8°C in the 20th century.

“This is within the expected margins of error for such a study,” he says. “A hard scientific view would be that there has been no discernible change…

Climategate scientists said they wanted to get rid of the 1940’s blip, and they did. They don’t want people to know what the climate was like in the past, because it wrecks their story and exposes their graphs as complete nonsense.

21 Jul 1932 – A Warmer World.

I changed my environment to use the identical set of 1,218 stations for GHCN HCN daily data, as are used for the  USHCN monthly data.

We are of course familiar with the hockey stick of data tampering being done between raw and final USHCN monthly data.

 But it is worse than it seems. Before they even to get to “raw monthly” data, they have already cooled the past by 0.1ºF relative to their raw daily data.

There seems to be no limit to the amount of cheating being done with the temperature record.

 Climate is complicated, but climate science isn’t.

US winter temperatures plummeted from 1950 to 1979. Scientists reacted to this with the global cooling scare, as reported by Science News in 1975

NASA warned of a new ice age by the year 2020.

After 1979, temperatures got much warmer, so NASA’s James Hansen began the global warming scare.

But after the year 2000, temperatures began to plummet again. So NASA and NOAA responded with the  only sensible solution. They altered the data to eliminate the earlier warmth and the current cooling.

But the data tampering wasn’t enough to keep up with cooling temperatures – so a few years ago they renamed “global warming” as “climate change”

You might be tempted to think that the practice of climate science is a complete fraud, and if you did, you would be correct.

The Cause Of An Ice Age

It has been known for over 110 years that the primary driver of climate on Earth is variations in the planet’s orbit and rotation. Because the Earth’s orbit is elliptical, some seasons are longer than others. Depending on which way the planet’s axis is tilted at any given time, this can either mean either long summers, or long winters.

Precession of the Earth’s axis over time produces alternating cold and warm periods, and opposite in the opposite hemispheres.

Long before climate science went completely brain dead under the stewardship of James Hansen, this was well understood, and was also understood to be the cause of the MWP – which the Climategate criminals  have since tried to erase.
