UK's Met Office Predicts Warmer Near Term Global Temperatures
International News • August 13, 2007
A recently concluded study by climate scientists at the UK's Met Office Hadley Center forecasts continued warming over the next 10 years. The study, published in the journal Science, "includes the ...

As NASA's alarmist-in-chief James Hansen admits, we have no definition of what we are trying to measure in the context of average global temperature. "For the global mean, the most trusted models produce a value of roughly 57.2 degrees Fahrenheit, but it may easily be anywhere between 56 and 58 degrees Fahrenheit and regionally, let alone locally, the situation is even worse," says Hansen.
For a dimmer view of the concept of average global temperature, consider the thoughts of renowned theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson who says that average land temperature is "impossible to measure… is a fiction… nobody knows what it is… there's no way you can measure it."
The UK researchers (and most other climate alarmists) are even wrong on the matter of 1998 being the warmest year on record – at least for the U.S. According to a new analysis which discovered an error in a NASA dataset, 1934 is the new warmest year on record for the U.S. In fact, four of the warmest 10 years in the U.S. date from the 1930s while only three date from the last 10 years. This is an embarrassing setback for alarmists, especially since about 80 percent of manmade carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions occurred after 1940.
