   Its worse than that, even. I thought that maybe they were using the outlier(GISS), so I went to GISS and looked, nope, not even close to .25 C. So then I thought maybe at the time of publication (the pdf) that it was possible for the .25 C. So, I looked for a date. On the pdf, for those that can’t follow,………….( downloads.climatescience.gov/ Literacy /Climate%20Literacy%20Booklet%20Low-Res.pdf I broke the link so this would post, just remove the spaces and put http in front.) Click find, “2000” and you’ll find the quote. On page one, I found this, “Second Version: March 2009 http://www.climatescience.gov“. So what does GISS say about March 2009?

   Not even close. Least squares trend line; slope = 0.0114567 per year

   Once again, we find our government is intentionally misleading its populace.

   A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both.——–James Madison

     lol, not .25 C, but .25 F.

     But, in either case, it still doesn’t get there from here.

   yes and no.
   The Giss temp’s which they use do show a minuscule non-relevant increase.

     The truth is that most of the data sets disagree with Hansen. The truth is that Hansen has severe conflicts of interest.

   Regardless of how they count angels on the head of a pin, .25 F is probably still within the margin of error and certainly not statisitically meaningful.

   This isn’t the only place they need to fess up. The Donald wants to see the Birth Certificate. Sounds like he wants to fire someone.

   Morning Steve, well to me it is.

   Met seems to have Feb 2011 at +0.267C!

   Funny, the CRU site http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/ that normally gives the data before the Met seems to have gone crook, but hey, what’s new.
