So 2015 is the hottest year on record?

Announced just before the Paris convention...

NOAA came up with this scare.

The satellite data that accurately measures the atmospheric global temperature shows no statistical warning for 18 years (and 9 months). Of course if there is no atmospheric warming there can be no global warming. (PM me if you don't understand the basic physics)

But NOAA has come up with a "new" formula that ignores the accurate and unaltered atmosphere figures, relies on temperature stations on the ground, that are subject to the moving of weather stations, increased and decreased concrete surroundings, sample ocean scooping's, from ocean liners and homogenization of data. And of course nobody is privy to how the data is manipulated.

Just so we are clear:

-Satellite data uses infrared technology across the atmosphere and is entirely accurate

- NOAA's "new" global temperature findings use man made weather stations and a raft of other inaccurate temperature gages. Then they "adjust" them and then they come up with the hottest year on record, just in time for the Paris convention.

Now NOAA is in a world of hurt because congress has requested the raw data, adjusted data and method of manipulation of data that they used to claim the hottest year on record. But of course NOAA wont release it, at least this side of the Paris convention.

Are there any on here that argue Essendon should be hit with the full force of the law for not providing their body of evidence on allegedly drugging 40 players but think it is fine that that NOAA wont supply their data that effects the world policy and could potentially leave millions in poverty?

I don't need a response. The silence is deafening.

 

What's the reason they are giving for not providing the data?

If the data correction methodology is sound, just release both the raw and adjusted datasets along with an explanation of the modifiers and why they were used.

Those links show the request for the data and their website, I am curious to know what the NOAA's actual response was.

Alarmists? The only alarmists I see around here are those that are alarmed they might be a few dollars out of pocket.

Choke - NOAA are not advertising on their website or anywhere else that they refuse to disclose their methodology or data in a transparent way, even to congress, despite being publicly funded.

I would love to see their response as well.

Hardtack - do you think it is an inditement on Essendon that they won't provide their records or will you give them the benefit of the doubt?

Not at all... I believe that Essendon are a club of denialists and that they will be found out and have to pay the price... their time is up.

Do you also agree NOAA should be transparent with their (US tax payer funded) data?

I don't believe I said that Essendon should be transparent... I said the truth will out despite their denials... much like it will regardless of those denying climate change.

how often does "the truth will out" occur unequivocally, hardtack

truth is the most illusive of concepts

just saying

True DC, very true... but I suppose in the case of climate change, you probably don't want to wait to find out... because by then it will be too late.

Satellites do not measure temperature.

The biggest scam in world history. 

Yes yes, it's all a massive conspiracy put out there by the mob that brought down the twin towers and claimed a plane had been flown into the Pentagon.  Unless you have conclusive evidence that this is a scam, then you are none the wiser than those of us who may not be convinced either way, but all the same, would rather not wait until it is too late.

You're right, i should've included it was "in my opinion". Im not a conspiracy theorist but this one reeks of it . Nevertheless I think we should be doing our best to protect the environment for the future. But this, from what I've read is going to be a massive reappropriation of western tax payers dollars, under the guise of saving the planet.

Kudos to you. By far the most intelligent post from a believer in climate change I have seen on demonland,

The sattelites measure radiance not temperature. But they are directly related. And the point still stands. No increase in radiance wavelength bands in the atmosphere means there can be no global warming.

Do you think it appropriate that NOAA wont release their raw data, then manipulated data showing the hottest year ever and method for achieving it?

Not at all. I believe the climate has changed previously and will always change going forward. I just don't have the delusional view that man controls the climate. What temperature forecast reduction are they hoping Kyoto 2 will deliver again?

i'll add it to the list of all the other dud predictions.

What do you think about Essendon? Whilst they won't produce the records of what they have injected their players I will believe it's a massive conspiracy. No different for any scientific body who won't transparently release the data behind their findings.

Do you believe 2015 is the hottest year on record based on NOAA's investigation?

I hadn't given it any thought to be honest.... although I occasionally do like to argue some points because I would rather we exercise caution in areas such as CO2 emissions (something that man does have control over and that does affect climate), I am not obsessed with it... from what I have seen in these threads, the only people who are, appear to be yourself and Pro Dee judging by the post count and desperate need to be "right".

There is no desperate need to be "right". You will notice Bing181 correctly called me out for saying the satellite data measures temperature. Which it doesn't. I have highlighted the fact I was incorrect. 

The obsessed comment also intrigues me. Can anybody contribute to a (this) thread, that has a contrary opinion to yourself, without being labelled obsessive?

Yes indeed, those who don't post obsessively in an attempt to beat others into submission (you will notice that I only called two people out).

I don't need to beat others into submission because the facts are on my side.

Perhaps you should look at the Jack Watts, Cale Morton or Jimmy Toumpas threads for obsessive writers.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
