But it is worse than it seems. NASA’s 2006 forecast :

Dec. 21, 2006: Evidence is mounting: the next solar cycle is going to be a big one.

Solar cycle 24, due to peak in 2010 or 2011 “looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago,” says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

    Hathaway is usually 100% wrong from what I gather from past predictions, but he quickly adapts

    • Hansen takes a different approach. He just changes the data.

        And the Kool-aide drinkers cheer him on.

        There is no justification for Hansen’s adjustments. No matter how much nonsense he bloviates about “normalizing” or calibrating the data.

        Fools and charlatans. What a joke.

    At least when the ice sheet reaches Detroit Detoilet, it will save us the time and money of having to bulldoze it. Algore can preside over the frozen corpse of the city as the Karbon King.

    London will be able to host the Winter Olympics on the Thames, but they won’t be able to allow females to compete, since sharia law forbids it.

  3. Andy Oz says:

    NASA overestimated the cycle peak by 200%. Does that mean they are twice as incompetent? How can the peak science body in the world have so many dills work for them and not sack them?

  4. Shazaam says:

    Government employees are expected to be totally incompetent / inept.

    Just think of your last trip to the bureau of motor vehicles. Now, think of NASA employing thousands of such individuals. And you have a fairly accurate picture of the government in it’s current form.

    NASA needs a good house cleaning.

    Well they were correct so far that it would peak in 10 or 11.
