The world has never seen such freezing heat
Telegraph ^ | Nov 16, 2008 | By Christopher Booker

Posted on 11/16/2008 4:49:18 AM PST by Islander7



A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.

He is oficially a certified hack pushing a personal agenda at taxpayer expense.

Hansen needs fired and prosecuted for abuse of NASA funds.

The global credit crisis may save us from the global warming crisis hit they wanted to do on our wallets.

I think the global credit crisis is partially due to fear of Obama and what his ilk want to do to save us from the "global warming crisis".

It will not save us. Obama and his ilk are committed to the core. They will just drive us harder and deeper into the hole.

Exactly my response. Explain to me how the known cool/warm cycles happened.

You are right concerning the workplace of Hansen. However, when the acronym NASA creeps into a conversation 19 out of 20 times one thinks of Houston and the state of Texas. And believe me, there is something rotten in the state of NASA as well as the state of Texas.

Yeah...but isn’t Hansen’s boss in Houston? This guy should have been reprimanded at least twice in the last year. This would make three.

In my opinion, this was no ‘blunder’. Hansen tried to pawn off the old data as new stuff, and got caught. He’s quickly losing any credibility he might have retained.

Maybe we can sell “carbon Debits” based on the promise to keep using oil and gas?

It should be about three days before the U.S. msm finds out about this story.

And when they do, they'll ignore it as 'old news'.

The eco non-sense is what set up the US automakers for failure... They need to be released from the stupid government mandates (CAFE standards and the like) and go back to making cars people want and will buy... What a tangled-web that has been woven by all these alarmists...

” “....I’ve lived on the Florida coast for 28 years and for all of those 28 years I’ve heard that Global Warming is raising the ocean’s level. But everytime I go to the beach the ocean is in the same damn place it was 28 years ago!....”

Thanks for laugh! I needed that.

I have lived on the Mississippi Coast for 30 years. The Gulf of Mexico is always in the same place too. Strange, eh?”

Well I have a cottage on Lake Huron (MI) and the water level has dropped steadily for the past 25 years... It is now 5 feet below its highest... Rising water level???... NOT HERE...
