Tony Heller had been trying to show that by slicing data like climate alarmists do it is even possible to show a decline in temperatures.
Although I don’t know much about the guy my guess is like most people it is clear some warming occurred, but the continuation and causes are in dispute.
Funny how the freezing snap at the beginning of the year March-April was put down to “weather” and a hot spell is put down to “climate change”.
Both most plausibly have the root in the same phenomenon of oceanic cooling mucking around with the various wind systems like the gulf stream.
Time will tell if this is a blip or a trend.
Last heatwave is 1976.. 42 years. If we have a heatwave that frequently it is not really a problem is it ?
Hot June was 18th hottest of 350 records from the longest temperature record.
Lets see how hot July was against the 350 year record first. Discount more modern locations with short history or tarmacced sub standard placement ( Heathrow airport for instance )
"In a study spanning two decades, a team of researchers led by Colorado State University found declining numbers of..."
20 years, is but a blink of an eye. It takes us back to 1997 only. What was the longer term trend ? How would they know if we started in a local maximum, or how often populations rebound ?
I complain that we barely have enough arctic and antarctic satellite samples and we have those from 1979.
So any decline of anything is linked to climate change automatically ?? That doesn't follow at all.
The NOAA has been suspected of doctoring the record[1], of all varieties including the satellites once they got control of them[2]. there will be more insider stories of how some conspired to fake AGW data [3]
so I think it likely that the revisions and corrections will be challenged soon and we will see that the revisions had no factual basis. Many will resign, probably jumping before pushed. The cuts are unfortunately prejudging the outcome.
But the subtext is that any 'discoveries' or 'corrections' will be rejected out of hand.
The prime ones being the recent corrections to the land temperature record that cooled the 1930s and 1940s and heated 2009 onwards yielding a steady linear increase graphic.
When those corrections are placed under the microscope and likely reversed, what will the reaction be ? Scientific shills of the Republicans are making up Alternative Facts... here is our precious archived dataset that true believers can reference.
