NASA data shows that warming models are skewed / screwed

And now we know why the atmosphere hasn't warmed in over a decade

That article needed to say alarmist a few more times to really make the message hit home.

I don't care what the hell NASA is saying now. This Texas summer has made me a believer in global warming. Al Gore, you win.

Why do you think information like this never makes the evening news?

While that article is in line with my general thinking (I don't trust the accuracy of the computer models), I had to double check that it was from Forbes because it reads like anti-global warming fanfic.

Alarmist.

Amen!

Alarmist.

Actually to be fair - it is, as I just verified. The guy who wrote it for Forbes is at the Heartland Institute which is dedicated to warring against AGW hype and generates plenty of its own hype as a result.

That said - the research article is in a peer reviewed journal. I'd like to get my hands on that.

There were 562 words in that article. Alarmist was only in their 14 times. That is only 2.5% of the words! The word "the" was in there way more times.

It was 85 degrees in Houston yesterday at around 7pm. I'm now worried about global cooling....

Yes, I noticed this, too. Also, it's in one of the pansiest "peer-reviewed" journals out there. Authors get to select their own peer reviewers, and it's not even a real journal. They don't publish in print at all. You can get the article free from: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing.

There is a huge variation in quality and rigor in the "peer-reviewed" world.

I had no idea there were journals for which the authors could select their own review. How creative.

I was watching TV the other night and to make sure I get a fair and balanced input, I watched a portion of the Cris Mathews show. Cris as you know is a long time and well respected journalist.

He was asking a guy if he really could back tea partiers. A group (tea partiers) who ignore scientific facts such as evolution and man made global warming.

As one who is not convinced there is man made global warming, it shook me to the core that I am so stupid as to not accept scientific fact.

Yeah pretty funny. But still as if not more rigorous than the UN IPCC review process.

Indeed. Houston's summer has been downright pleasant this year. I don't know what Ted and Babs are talking about.
