Secret gov't doc reveals global cooling!

January 17, 2009 - Harry Eagar
Well, national cooling, anyway.

Anthony Watts notices that NOAA announces in a press release that:

The NOAA/NCDC 2008 temperature map shows near normal USA in 2008


but that the press release that comes with a map shows not annual but only December temperatures, including a warm Georgia-South Carolina. The annual map (found by Watts) shows all cold temperatures, including record cold in northeast Nebraska.

There is a great deal of discussion in the comments at Watt's Up with That, but no one noticed that not only was a misleading map presented, but the headline is dishonest as well.

The map -- the real one -- does not show "near normal" temperatures across the USA. It shows uniformly cold temperatures. A normal year would have some places cold (blue on the map) and others warm (red).

An all-blue map is anything but normal and is hard impossible to explain if the global climate is warming.

Commenter David S. appends a list, a looong list, of places reporting record lows today. Some places, like Moline, Ill., have broken the Jan. 16 record set back in 1888, and not just barely but by 6 degrees. Waterloo, Iowa, recorded the coldest temperature ever, and it was 8 degrees colder than the old coldest:

New record low temps from the weather channel 1/16/2009.

Come on Harry! Get wit the program already! We all know that global warming causes climate change and cooling and national freezing is just a little part of that.

I noticed that Obama's Chrysler 300 is for sale on ebay right now. An environmentally conscious car if ever there was one...
