Friday's Washington Examiner posted an article on the difficulties of claiming 'global warming' when looking at the recent weather statistics and the statistics for the past ten years. The article points out:
"...what has happened is global temperatures have dropped every year since 1998, recent peer-reviewed research has uncovered the decisive influence of hot and cold cycles in the oceans on land temperatures, and growing numbers of scientists with unquestioned credentials are stepping forward to question the conventional wisdom."
The bottom line here is that we don't know all we think we know! The raw data on which the landmark 1996 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change based its conclusion has been destroyed. The
The article points out:
"The Competitive
Enterprise Institute has formally requested that the Environmental Protection Agency, which helps fund CRU, "reopen the record" and allow CEI and others to submit newly uncovered information regarding the East Anglia data destruction. The conservative think tank also wants to submit information about flaws in other data EPA is using as it devises stringent new anti-global warming regulations. Congress should also investigate the dumping of data partially paid for by U.S. taxpayers and other suspicious global warming anomalies, such as the temperature readings taken from "ghost weather stations" like the one at Maine's Ripogenus Dam. It was officially closed in 1995 but allegedly is still transmitting climate data 14 years later. Such questionable data sources must be eliminated if credible policy decisions are ever to be reached."
Does it make sense to cripple the United States economy for an idea based on questionable data that has been destroyed? As this discussion continues, I would like to point out that it snowed yesterday in Massachusetts. That is the earliest snowfall we have had in thirty years.
