NOAA: Warmest June Ever! Caveat: We Made It Up (Corrected)
Art,
You’re a kind man referring to James Hansen as ‘Dr. Hansen’. I haven’t any respect for Mr. Hansen and the hokum he employs to justify his voodoo-like ‘science’. The country possessing ~15% actual unemployment and this kooky astronomer in charge of NASA’s meteorological rodeo makes it all the more bizarre.
Antarctica has numerous remote weather stations to extrapolate somewhat accurate data. Antarctica is far more harsh, unforgiving than the Arctic. Not to mention these same remote stations need to be dug out, by hand, every Austral Summer to maintain their mostly accurate weather data.
For the Arctic to lack such elementary instrumentation speaks volumes of NOAA and NASA.
For the Arctic to use data ~750 miles upstream and proclaim this as the ‘mean temperature’ encompassing that area is junk science at best.
Then again, NOAA uses only ~1% of the U.S. meteorological stations to come to other ‘warming’ scenarios..
