A better method needs to be developed for "smoothing" the data. Current statistical methods bias towards warming trends.

When you are trying to detect a “signal” that’s buried in a “noise” background that’s on the order of 100 times larger amplitude - and you’re only looking at a hundred cycles of reference oscillator - you can pretty much call it any way you want. .92 degree, .46 degree, negative .23 degree, who knows?

Real Science did a post where he asked for your conversion moment to being a skeptic, if you had one: http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/2006-my-year-of-enlightenment/#comment-101862. My comment:

Here is the video — the three and half minutes of video — that converted me into a skeptic (disbeliever actually). In ~ June of 2007, by a chance click of a link, I watched the hour long Great Global Warming Swindle. But it was just the short “Al Gore segment” on CO2 that really really got my attention. I watched in astonishment as I realized, then and there, if this was true, that I had been had by the warmists. After I had done extensive googling looking for an effective rebuttal from the warmists, and found none, I was an anti-warmist. Realize that what this video shows is algor repeating the ipcc’s deception on CO2. This is a deception that pretty much still holds with the public at large, that’s why it’s important to try to share and promote this video:

Authors Steirou and Koutsoyiannis, after taking homogenization errors

Damn homos strike again...

As I understand it one (of many) “adjustments” made to the raw data is for things like changing land use patterns around the data collection station. Farms are warmer than forest, towns warmer than farms,etc. Problem is, many of the adjustments made to the data are bigger than the trends the so-called “scientists” purport to have found in the data. All they’re really finding are second or third order effects in their adjustments.

Satellite temperature data is far more reliable than ground station data, but it doesn't show any global warming so the warmists pretend it is not reliable.

Thanks for posting this ...and SCV thanks for the ping.

WUWT has a followup on this.

Will post it if not yet up!

No serious person still believes the global warming hoax.
