- From the page: "NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II. Anthony Watts has put the new data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events. The effect of the correction on global temperatures is minor (some 1-2% less warming than originally thought), but the effect on the U.S. global warming propaganda machine could be huge. Then again -- maybe not. I strongly suspect this story will receive little to no attention from the mainstream media."
Damn right. Telling from all the thumb-downs and spouted rhetoric in the review section. Environmentalists want, no NEED, something to be terribly wrong with the world to justify their existence. Ahhh, aren't crusades great!
I agree there is a short term warming trend, it may last 10 years, or 500. The causes of this warming trend are my dispute. Earth knows what she's doing, we give ourselves way too much credit at being able to 'destroy' earth. Maybe one day we could do that, but certainly not now. Every nuke in every arsenal in the world would not eradicate life from the Earth.Thats not to say people shouldn't conserve, but we should have some discipline, maybe some common sense, and make sure the cure isn't worse than the disease (ie hybrid cars). - From the page: "NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding.

- Argh! When did DailyTech turn into a shitty right-wing blog? Edit: Oh, it's just some biased blogger who's hosted on DailyTech, not DailyTech itself.

- Yet more news that the media conveniently overlooked. From the page: "NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third.

- Even if one ignores every point that brtkrbzhnv makes below, this doesn't affect increasing global temperatures one whit. It should be apparent that the US is not the world (literally) and thus global warming "propaganda machine" isn't going to lose too much sleep about the entirely real problem still ongoing.

- Why doesn't he mention that this so called bug meant a 0.01° error for 1998? Why doesn't he mention that the difference between 1934 was and still is within the margins of error? Why doesn't he mention that 2005 still is the warmest year globally? Because he doesn't care about the facts, because he doesn't care about the science, and because it's all just politics for this guy.
Here you can see the old graph and the new graph side by side, and here you can read a real climate scientist's take on the issue. - Why doesn't he mention that this so called bug meant a 0.01° error for 1998?
