The people of the world have been lied to for the past 15 years. They called it "science", there was a "consensus" among "scientists", and lots of money was made by scaring the sheeple. Well, the new data is in and a lot of people sure look like fools. Cue the new crisis, this time it's a mini ice-age. Everybody panic!

Forget global warming - it's Cycle 25 we need to worry about

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.

The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997

It's getting cold. Throw another tire on the fire! ;)
 
Meanwhile, back in Chicago, they still want to get cap&tax passed so they can boost their portfolios/fortunes trading carbon credits,...

At the expense of American fuel-buying taxpayers.

Yep they love that OPM (other peoples money) gravy train.

Map-makers admit Greenland gaffe - Odd - Scotsman.com

IT APPEARED to provide incontrovertible proof that global warming was accelerating faster than even the most doom-laden scientists had predicted.


There was considerable alarm when the word’s most authoritative atlas printed a map which showed that Greenland was rapidly turning green.

However, experts from around the globe pointed out that the cataclysmic chart had no scientific support and was contradicted by all of the most recent satellite images.

Now the Scottish map-makers responsible for the disappearance of 115,830 square miles of polar ice have admitted publicly they were wrong.

As an act of contrition, The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World cartographers have produced a new map which restores Greenland’s ice cover.

Jethro Lennox, senior publishing editor of the £150 tome, insisted lessons would be learned from the episode, which generated headlines around the globe.

The Glasgow-based map-maker said: “We’re very disappointed at the way it happened.

“But we are now looking to draw a line under the Greenland controversy and move on.”

The latest atlas, which was published in September, showed a reduction in ice cover compared with the previous edition from four years ago.

Accompanying publicity material declared the change represented “concrete evidence” of the effects of global warming, stating: “For the first time the new edition has had to erase 15 per cent of Greenland’s permanent ice cover – turning an area the size of the UK and Ireland ‘green’ and ice-free.”

Publishers HarperCollins originally stood by the accuracy of the map but have since admitted to the mistake after the blunder was exposed by scientists.

Mr Lennox said: “After publication of the 13th edition of The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World it became apparent that we had not represented the permanent ice cover in Greenland fully and clearly.

“In failing to do that, this section of the map did not meet the usual high standards of accuracy and reliability that the atlas strives to uphold.

“To correct this, we decided to produce a new, more detailed map using the latest information available.”

A new, corrected map of Greenland will be inserted into all remaining copies.

The updated chart was put together after the cartographers consulted experts from the University of Arizona, the University of Bristol, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and the Byrd Polar Research Centre.

The editor claimed the newly established links would prevent errors in future.

He said: “We have made some valuable contacts and will be keen to work with them again in the future.”

Dr Liz Morris, of the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, said: “This was a really bad mapping error. If 15 per cent of ice was lost, then sea levels would have risen by one metre, and that hasn’t happened.”

They made a mistake. It should have read "formerly the word’s most authoritative atlas"

I think it was longer ago then that. Mid 1980's. Got up to feed the cows, normal day, while eating breakfast and listing to the news heard the news announcer say that the comfrence on globe warming in Boise, Id. had been cancelled. Oh well. When I went outside I checked the tremomitor and it was only --28 degrees or was it 30 degrees below zero, don't remember exatly. Just wondered where the hot spot was. I was ready to move. By the way those where record setting months not just record breaking.
