In 1997, GISS showed that the Southern Hemisphere warmed from 1882 to 1910. Now they show the exact opposite.

Also in 1997, Hansen said he knew temperatures accurately within 0.07 degrees.
The annual-mean global-mean temperature anomaly in recent decades is estimated to have a two-sigma uncertainty of about 0.07°C due to incomplete spatial coverage of stations. Thus the relative rank of different years is uncertain for years whose temperatures differ by less than that amount.
So was he lying then, or is he lying now?
YES
When did his lips move?
People in the past couldn’t accurately read a thermometer to within 2°, but if you average enough non-random figures you can uh, gain accuracy?
I’d be surprised if there was anything he said or wrote that had a grain of truth in it.
He’s the premier used car salesman for the biggest lemon ever built, and when it crashes, the number of innocent people who’ve been damaged financially will number in the millions. The number who die from lack of heat and lack of clean water cos energy prices are too high will also be in the millions. I have no respect for the pimp.
Andy, yes, exactly. It is too easy to laugh at Hansen or Mann, to point out the errors in their statements and ridicule their intelligence or honesty. However, if we are going to ridicule their honesty, let’s be honest with ourselves as well. Hansen and Mann are not simple imbeciles or hucksters. They are fraudulently supporting a policy that has killed (via lack of heat, lack of affordable energy, lack of clean water, lack of affordable food (due to food being sidetracked into biofuels), etc.) certainly thousands, perhaps many, many more. These people are pushing mass murder just as certainly as a crooked politician who foments war. “Pimp” is far too kind a word to use in describing them.
Surely, put together, all these graphs with absolute proof constitute a case of Fraud?
Agreed.
Steven,
I am pleased to report that Suyts Space published my challenge to government scientists to let go of the tit to public research funds long enough to address the experimental data that directly falsify the consensus models of Earth’s climate, the Sun and the nucleus of atoms:

Let’s see if they actually believe any of the garbage science they peddle to the public !
