His sources are good enough to know a tree isn't a heat sensor.

They're good enough to know a MAGIC TREE doesn't become a MAGICAL TREEMOMITUR when LOOKED AT THROUGH HOCKEY STICK SCRAWLS.

They're good enough to know the entire warming event was total fabrication.
You've obligated yourself to a life of criminally defrauding your GRAND CHILDREN.

You're not even a step above a child molester, you, by definition, are molesting your own offspring.

Fortunately all THEIR offspring are going to be basically brainless dopeheads, because there aren't any standards for behavior among libtard moonbats.

Is GISS a reliable source:

If so, what caused this change between 1999 and 2008?

Another case of denier hype. The data was adjusted because of calibration problems in the satellite instruments. All measuring devices must be calibrated. Of course the deniers always hype any calibration as proof that there is a grand conspiracy to mislead the world. Also no measuring device except counting is ever exactly correct so no matter how carefully instruments are calibrated there is always error. This error can be exploited and propagandized by the deniers.

Please post a citation, or do I file your comment under BS, where it belongs?

oh my 'bozo', now it all makes sense. they are not tampering with and fudging the numbers at all. the lousy measuring devices they are using are never correct and always in error. that explains why the data must be constantly adjusted to get the desired numbers. and since the newest up to date equipment taxpayers money can buy is always wrong, the older measurements of years gone by must have been horribly wrong and of course they needed a much bigger adjustment to fit the desired results. yes 'bozo', it was all so wrong it had to be adjusted to make it right, the way it has to be to show the warming trend that just has to be there. they must wonder why they have to use all of that silly equipment when they can just make up the numbers on their computer simulations like hansen and mann. it is all so much more scientific when you can make up your own numbers. yes 'bozo', it was all so wrong, but with the new numbers now it's right. what's not to love about 'climate science'? it is just wrong enough to be right.

Try to understand that no measurement is exact except for counting. I know this because I had to calibrate and adjust readings both in my studies and laboratory work in industry. Measuring devices can be refined to get closer and closer to the correct value but never attain exactness. To believe that the data is adjusted to create some kind of conspiracy is on the same level as the "birthers". But this is something that we have come to expect.

Seeing is believing. Here are three glaring examples that most of us know about because they come up over and over and over again. Your side consistantly makes excuses as to why they really aren't as they appear to be:

**********

Surface temperature adjustments:
Difference between raw and final United States Historicl Climate Network Data Sets:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/climate/research...

Sea level adjustments:
One important change in these releases is that we are now adding a correction of 0.3 mm/year due to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment. Simply subtract 0.3 mm/year if you prefer to not include the GIA correction.
http://sealevel.colorado.edu/content/new-web-...

Ocean Temperature adjustments:
During 2006, the Argo Network was thought to have shown a declining trend in ocean temperatures. Once Argo thermometer measurement errors were removed, the world's oceans have been warming.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_ (oceanography)

**********

Put any kind of spin on it you want, they are what they are.

As are so many here, Case (aka, "Liberals Suck") remains convinced that the temperature record is all a vast socialist political conspiracy.

30,000 posts on this thread and the true believers are still here complaining that all these rising mountains of evidence compiled for more than a century are nothing but a hoax.

Good grief. If ever there were testimony to the undying persistence of political fanaticism, this is it.

I've been keeping data on GISS since 2008 so it's an easy matter to subtract 2008 values from the current 2012 measurements and graph them out.

I'm sure you see the pattern. I'm also rather sure you will make up some sort of an excuse as to why it really isn't what it appears to be. And what it appears to be is an obvious bias to lower the earlier temperatures and raise more recent measurements.

One has to wonder why there were no net downward values since 1977. That's 35 years of one way adjustments. Does that give you any pause at all? It's plainly obvious that there's bias at GISS, and it's not difficult to imaging that the bias plainly visible in that graph permeates everything that Dr. Hansen and GISS touch. I don't make this stuff up, it's right there for anyone who is the least bit curious to see for themselves.

None are so blind as those who refuse to see.

Of course you have no evidence that there is a bias, or conspiracy for that matter, to adjust temperatures upwards. You only give us here say.

There are mountains of evidence that the world is warmer and that sea levels are rising and that the glaciers are receding etc. What there is no evidence for is that it's a catastrophe.

Political fanaticism? Take a look at Dr. James Hansen's activities. How many times has this guy gotten himself arrested now?

Liberals do suck and if you want to find out what they are up to, just check out what they accuse others of doing.

OK, I think I'm getting your drift.
Late 70s, early 80s data wasn't considered accurate enough, so it was adjusted in the late 80s, early 90s and again in the late 90s, early 2000s and will continue on this path ad infinitum.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Aquarius

You're very feisty and energetic and there's a lot you want to achieve. You'll get rather impatient if anyone stands in your way. A close emotional relationship will either be sexy and exciting beyond belief, or bad-tempered and tetchy. If you're in a grumpy mood, try to work out why - and what would improve matters. One thing that's bound to help is physical exercise, because it will burn off any excess nervous energy.
