Government data shows U.S. in decade long cooling

Quote:...for those who may point out U.S. temperatures do not equate to global temperatures, the USCRN data are entirely consistent with – and indeed lend additional evidentiary support for – the global warming stagnation of the past 17-plus years. While objective temperature data show there has been no global warming since sometime last century, the USCRN data confirm this ongoing stagnation in the United States, also.

Third, the USCRN data debunk claims that rising U.S. temperatures caused wildfires, droughts, or other extreme weather events during the past year. The objective data show droughts, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have become less frequent and severe in recent decades as our planet modestly warms. But even ignoring such objective data, it is difficult to claim global warming is causing recent U.S. droughts and wildfires when U.S. temperatures are a full 0.4 degrees Celsius colder than they were in 2005.

Quote:Even more importantly than the facts above, the USCRN provides the promise of reliable nationwide temperature data for years to come. No longer will global warming alarmists be able to hide behind thinly veiled excuses to doctor the U.S. temperature record. Now, thanks to the USCRN, the data are what the data are.

Expect global warming alarmists, now and for the foreseeable future, to howl in desperation claiming the USCRN temperature data are irrelevant.

Of course, to global warming alarmists, all real-world data are irrelevant.

Can't wait to hear the true believers denigrate those who have been skeptical, yet again. You know, us in the anti-science crowd as the zealots have us labeled. Now the U.S. has temperature recording stations that are correctly sited away from heat islands and we will have a true temperature record. Good luck trying to manipulate this inconvenient data to push your false religion.

They won't have any problems. Why do you think it will be difficult for them to build new lies on top of the lies already built?

They'll need just as much re-distribution of wealth to stop the cooling as the warming.

But I thought global warming is the biggest threat to this country and planet EVER. Even larger than terrorism and the Koch brothers. But the alarmists have too much invested in their global warming conspiracy to ever stop.
