Tree huggers have been falsifying global warming documents for years. It is all about expanding a world order, increasing government and weakening the US. We are on to you.

Then don't come crying to us liberals the next time there's an oil spill.

Clean it up yourself and turn down any disaster funds.

What does an oil spill have to do with global warming?

I didn't locate the report, but after some exploring, I found the CRU Information Sheet No. 1: Global Temperature Record. It includes the following:

Quote:
The time series shows the combined global land and marine surface temperature record from 1850 to 2010. According to the method of calculation used by CRU, the year 2010 was the equal third (see footnote) warmest on record (with 2003), exceeded by 1998 and 2005. The years 2003, 2005 and 2010 are only distinguishable in the third decimal place. The error estimate for individual years (two standard errors is about ±0.1°C, see Brohan et al., 2006) is at least ten times larger than the differences between these three years.

The period 2001-2010 (0.44°C above 1961-90 mean) was 0.20°C warmer than the 1991-2000 decade (0.24°C above 1961-90 mean). The warmest year of the entire series has been 1998, with a temperature of 0.55°C above the 1961-90 mean. After 1998, the next nine warmest years in the series are all in the decade 2001-2010. During this decade, only 2008 is not in the ten warmest years. Even though 2008 was the coldest year of the 21st century it was still the 12th warmest year of the whole record.
It also included this nice graph:




This (from the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit) directly contradicts the article (allegedly based on data from the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit), which states:

Quote:
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.
It would seem to beg the question ... on which world is the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit located? Or perhaps the question should be asked instead of the author of the article, David Rose.

It would be nice if the origional article linked to the data they are basing the findings on. I however believe nothing coming out of the CRU after the fiasco they played.
