WORLD WARMER IN THE 80’s & 90’s
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) breached its own rules on scientific integrity when it published the sensational but flawed report, aimed at making the maximum possible impact on world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN conference in Paris in 2015. It claimed that the ‘pause’ or ‘slowdown’ in global warming in the period since 1998 – revealed by UN scientists in 2013 – never existed, world temperatures were rising faster than scientists expected. The two graphs below, 1880-2000 and 1880-2015, show the difference after the annual temperatures were increased by an average of 0.07 degrees Celsius in 2015. click to enlarge graphs
The global temperatures, shown in red on the right hand column in the graph left, were increased by Tom Karl of NOAA to indicate a significant amount of warming prior to climate conference in Paris. The right hand column, shown in bold, indicates where Tom Karl, had increased global temperatures by more than two degrees Celsius in the period 1900-1997. He withdrew his NOAA 1997 climate report saying he had used the wrong base line at 61.70 F (16.50 C) The year 1900 was not all that long after the pre-industrial period! Again, in the right hand column, Karl raised the annual temperatures between 2001 and 2015 by an annual average of 0.07 degrees Celsius which ensured the success of the Paris Conference when previously recorded data had shown no significant warming. The columns on the left of the graph, show both WMO and NOAA with similar temperature readings. Neither one supported Tom Karl in his attempts to influence other member nations prior to the Paris conference…It really didn’t matter because global warming was to take priority.
Temperature For World Rises Sharply In the 1980’s – The New .
David Parker of British Met Office, Phil Jones of CRU East Anglia and James Hansen of NASA had all reported the average global temperature for the 1950-1980 period at 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tom Karl appeared to rubbish his own data when told Michael Weisskponf of Washington Post on February 4, 1989 that the British figures are distorted by changes in data-gathering methods since measurements were first taken in 1860. While thermometers were attached to sides of buildings in the 19th century, he said, they are now encased in louvered boxes. Old thermometers did not have the capability to record highs and lows. While ocean temperatures were taken decades ago by dropping a thermometer into a wooden bucket of sea water, Karl said, they are recorded today by thermometers attached to the side of the vessel below the water mark. “If you take a closer look at the uncertainties,” he said, “you’d be foolish to say the ’80s are without doubt the warmest decade we’ve seen.” Environmentalists were less equivocal.

It had got to the stage where the reporting of global average temperatures had become a contest on who who could show the most warming and by 1997 it had become a circus. WMO appeared to take control of temperature monitoring in 1999 when NASA, British Met Office, CRU East Anglia and NOAA began reporting similar temperatures. Tom Karl was to retire in 2016 after 41 years service to climatology.

The trend line in the graphs, when compared, indicate unprecedented warming which is because there had been no warming in the past making the present jacked up temperatures look like we are in a climate crisis.
Even the most scant of research indicates this global warming theory is nothing but a rip off. There are now websites that are supposed to be in opposition to the scam but their weak push back only serves to promote it. Its not climate that is man made, it is climate alarmism and climate politicisation that is man made. Climate continues to wax and wane as it has done for eons and will continue to do so.
You know the best and most straight forward way – plant more trees! If every house had a set number of mature trees per set area, we could do more benefit to the environment than 10 years of Climate activists yelling at non-Climate activists… They too could be under threat due to the need to provide more energy from biomass to make up for the shortfall when the wind ain’t blowing or the Sun is not shining.
The graph on the left, 1880-2010, shows a warming trend of 0.56 C per century and according to the IPCC at least half of that was caused by man. I cannot understand how people can support this hoax
NOAA continue to raise temperatures and have now exceeded the 0.07 C increase in annual global temperatures over the last 20 years. In the 2019 time series they have reduced temperatures in their archived data from 1880 to cool the past to enhance a greater warming trend.
Why has the climate monitoring agencies differed so broadly from the official archived data that has always been available since 1880. e.g. Karl, on behalf of NOAA, posts a temperature of 62.45 F (16.91 C) for the period up to 1997 when the temperature according to the archived data for that year was 57.95 F (14.42 C)
I had written to the both major parties in regard to Tom Karl but neither one seems interested because their own members have included climate change in their election manifesto so the fraud will likely continue. The taxing of manufacturers who exceed emission targets means higher prices to the consumer.
Climate we expect….Weather is what we get!
