The adjusted NOAA data is make believe crap. They should ONLY look at the real RAW data—in which the temp in US was highest in the 1930s.
Government is in the “junk science business” today.
Lots of money to be made there.
“Over the last hundred years, the temperature has steadily risen blah blah blah” (”never mind it’s going back down, and has gone back and forth forever; they don’t need to know that”)
Time to alter the database.
Starting over a 100 years ago, and continuing for decades, seagoing ships were required by international treaty to measure the ocean water temperature each day. The temps were kept in handwritten journals for each ship, with dates, times and water temp.
The temps were converted to a computer database.
The big problem for global warmists were that the temps recorded were too warm to show the required global warming. Graphs of the data did not show a strong rise in temps and didn’t agree with the (supposed) increase in land temps.
The warmists declared that the temps were not accurate, and went in and changed the database to show colder ocean temps. This in spite of a massive amount of handwritten records showing in detail the ocean temps.
The changes in the database resulted in a steep increase in water temps over the past 100 years or so. Mission accomplished for the warmists. If you don’t like the data, just change it.
The temperature rise has been 2.43 degrees F for the entire globe since 1850.
That is it.
Can anyone tell me what such a small increase has meant for the world?
All they talk about is the future—drought, glaciers melting, seas rising, etc. None of this has happened.
The key is—according to them—it is GOING to happen.
But what if it doesn’t?
Imagine shutting down the global economy, starting with massive restrictions on fossil fuels, NOW, because of what MIGHT HAPPEN.
You can’t slowly ease out of fossil fuels without causing future CO2, which means the only way to stop the melting of the Antarctic and Greenland mile high ice sheets is to stop fossil fuels NOW (according to the so-called climate experts).
Okay, allow me to make MY future predictions...
1. Billions of human beings die of starvation. You cannot have modern agriculture without modern, fossil fuel-based fertilizer. It cannot be done. This would result in 100s of millions of tons of wheat, corn and rice not being available to eat.
2. Economic activity would cease, making the Great Depression look like a mild summer day off. Who would work, and on what, for what? Our just-in-time-inventory way of life has to be truck-fed daily. (That means big diesel 18 wheelers always on the go, belching CO2, destroying your precious glaciers.)
3. Suburban towns, far from the city, would be emptied. People would have to move to urban centers without the means to drive their cars. No buses or trains can quickly be made and deployed to transport people. Or they could just die in place.
Probably 135deg.
