Now this is really beginning to bug me. I've read a good chunk of the IPCC report, visited lots of sites (pro and con), and generally consider myself well-versed in global warming literature. I've seen hundreds, if not thousands of graphs and charts, and here's a typical one:

I recognise this from the IPCC report.
Now look at the first graph on the right: 1934 looks to be a good 0.7 degrees cooler than 1998, and yet when the numbers are printed, the two years are reported to be within about 0.02 degrees of each other.... it doesn't matter if you take the "original' or 'corrected' NASA numbers.
How is anyone supposed to make any sense of this if even the facts (in this case, instrumental temperature records) change from one report to another?
Somebody's pulling the wool over our eyes.
