Harvey attribution games begin at NOAA
NOAA has posted some spectacularly speculative numbers claiming that Hurricane Harvey's record rainfall was so rare as to be unnatural. This is the attribution game; the new wave of alarmist pseudoscience.
Harvey defies attribution to global warming
All of this alarmist attribution stuff is junk science personified. We are seeing nothing that is outside of normal natural variability. As my father used to say, figures don't lie but liars sure can figure.
Climate.gov rivals NASA in climate alarmism
NOAA's Climate.gov website rivals NASA's, in more ways than one. There is actually a rivalry between the two agencies to see who can be the most alarmist.
Study: Adjustments account for ‘nearly all of the warming’ in climate data
A new study found adjustments made to global surface temperature readings by scientists in recent years “are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”
A needed NOAA temperature research program
NOAA's global and US temperature estimates have become highly controversial. The core issue is accuracy.
NOAA refutes link between global warming and hurricanes
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently posted a summary of research on the link between global warming and hurricanes, concluding it is “premature” to say human activities are making storms more powerful.
Trump eyes politicized climate, energy budgets
CAFCT policy analyst Larry Bell reports that the Trump Administration is taking serious aim at waste, fake science, and mission creep at the nation's executive branch bureaucracies -- notably the EPA, NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Energy. Politicized climate "research" is being defunded, and the President wants to return NASA to its primary focus on space exploration. There will no longer be wasteful outright grants and unsecured loans to green energy comanies.
Journal has no plans to retract NOAA study despite data manipulation concerns
No plans to retract study after the former principal scientist at the National Climatic Data Center went public with complaints that NOAA scientists put a ‘thumb on the scale’ to get results that showed more global warming since 1998.
Alarmist sea level data may raise flood insurance
Once again, politics interferes with real-world truth, and the losers will likely be beachfront homeowners and other property owners who will face astronomically higher flood insurance costs. NOAA’s “corrections” to suggest warming between a huge 1998 El Niño another big one last year contradict data provided by a large integrated network of Argo ocean buoys operated by the British Oceanographic Data Center in combination with satellite-enhanced data which reveal no statistically significant warming.
Don’t believe ‘hottest-year’ hype
The government spins information, distorts facts, and ignores the scientific record in its assertion that 2015 was the "hottest year ever." But what else is new? They want us to believe their models are more accurate than actual satellite and other real temperature measurements.
1936 had the most hot days on record, not 2015
A new analysis of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data published Friday shows 1936 had more days above 100 degrees Fahrenheit than any other year. Recent years don’t come close.
Stats tampering puts NOAA in hot water
Some 300 scientists are calling out the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for fraud, specifically suspiciously overheated climate temperature book-cooking, for issuing a non-peer-reviewed study for release conveniently in advance of UN Climate Change Conference held in Paris last December. NOAA ignored the large integrated network of Argo ocean buoys operated by the British Oceanographic Data Center in combination with satellite-enhanced data that revealed no statistical warming.
Scientist ruthlessly debunks NOAA climate claim
Dr. John Christy went to great lengths in a Tuesday congressional hearing to detail why satellite-derived temperatures are much more reliable indicators of warming than surface thermometers.
300 scientists want NOAA to stop hiding its global warming data
Hundreds of scientists sent a letter to lawmakers Thursday warning National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists may have violated federal laws when they published a 2015 study purporting to eliminate the 15-year “hiatus” in global warming from the temperature record.
Measuring global temperatures: Satellites or thermometers?
NASA and NOAA's "hottest ever" temperature pronouncements rely on thermometers, but ignore the other two primary ways of measuring global air temperatures, satellites and radiosondes (weather balloons).
