Are we never allowed to have a hot summer ? What about the very many hot summers that are recorded in 350 years of records that pre date the industrial revolution and therefore CO2 emmissions. The hottest June on record is 1846...

Heatwaves need to become more clustered. At the moment we get them every so often at roughly the same rate we always did. As mentioned June ( very hot ) was 18th out of 350. There were 17 other hotter Junes in 350 years... many pre industri

It got hotter until 1998 and plateaued until today 2017+, occasionally setting small new highs (0.1C when margin for error is 0.4C). That was already accepted and should not be trumpetted as further "proof".

It is common in many fields for a small group to produce 'agreed text', that other parties then sign off on * PR pieces ( http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html ) * Legislation ( http://www.linklaters

From the stackoverflow comments its clear that theoretical models have been proposed to infer the temperature on land from the ocean database. the main concern is that the models are pure junk science. so saying "our models say it is s

that was just one of many many charges of tampering[1]. honestly this cristicism of the NOAA, NASA is pretty unwelcome by most HN people, so im not proposing everyone accept this immediately. but the facts are out there and slowly if what i

Sorry to hear about anyone losing jobs. The NOAA has been suspected of doctoring the record[1], of all varieties including the satellites once they got control of them[2]. there will be more insider stories of how some conspired to fake AGW

On the surface it is about preventing deletion. But the subtext is that any 'discoveries' or 'corrections' will be rejected out of hand. The prime ones being the recent corrections to the land temperature record that coo

So now we have complete polarisation. Left leaning people will not accept any science generated under a Right leaning government and as we already know Right leaning people find it hard to trust the science coming from a Left leaning govern

(forced to use a side account to comment on this) You have to look at it from the Trump teams point of view. They honestly don't see that the 'free speech' argument holds water. They see it as abuse of a public position to sp

more than 40 samples. 200 samples at minimum. "Long term" is misleading and relevant only to a space age start point where we launched satellites. 2000 year ice core samples: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/

That is a compelling explanation. I agree that mild warming has clearly occurred. the hot summers and warmer winters are both clear and must also have been corroborated by local people ( im in the UK so completely unqualified to say ) i don

Ain't that the truth. Neither side is free of lynch mobs and people conveniently ignoring facts that don't fit their pre-agreed agenda. This is just a side account of a regular HN user so sick of lynch mobs that I have to use a ps
