Red-Hot October?

The problem is Russia
TigerHawk —
Some significant proportion of the global temperature anomaly attributed to climate change derives from readings in Siberia and the Russian arctic. This month, there was an obvious problem with the Russian data -- October readings were copies of September readings -- that lead the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, a leading purveyor of global temperature data, to report erroneously that the October just past was the warmest on record. Oops. That invites a deeper inquiry into Russian temperature data, and whether a structural bias toward warmth -- something more difficult to ...

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.

... The main statistical facility for global-warming activists compounded error with folly and have undermined their credibility entirely. NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies announced that last month was the warmest October on record, surprising meteorologists who had seen colder temperatures and unseasonal snowstorms and wondered where all the heat originated: GISS’s computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up ...

But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures ...

In a sense, Joyner’s argument reduces to the trivial truism that ...
