July was also the 329th consecutive month of positive upwards adjustment to the U.S. temperature record by NOAA/NCDC
I’ve noticed there’s a lot of frenetic tweeting and re-tweeting of this “sound bite” sized statement from this Climate Central piece by Andrew Freedman. July was the fourth-warmest such month…
Dear NOAA and Seth, which 1930's were you comparing to when you say July 2012 is the record warmest?
The press release is out, and the usual serial bloviators are rushing to trumpet the news. July 2012 was the hottest ever on record! “Yikes! We’re gonna roast! Global Warming!”…
Has the CRUTEM4 Data been fiddled with?
Guest post by Ed Thurstan Abstract It is apparent from the data that CRUTEM4 temperatures adjustments have, in part, been made with reference only to the earlier CRUTEM3 data, rather…

How reliable are global temperature "anomalies" ?
Guest post by Clive Best Perhaps like me you have wondered why “global warming” is always measured using temperature “anomalies” rather than by directly measuring the absolute temperatures ? Why…
Tisdale on Foster and Rahmstorf – take 2
Bob has asked me to carry this post, and I’m happy to do so. For those who want to criticize without contributing anything but criticism, I offer this insight: The…
