NASA had to admit that 1980 wasn't the hottest year after all when someone else check the numbers.
I know you liberals dismiss the whole article because you see the R word in it but time to start asking how sure are they about this man-made global warming?
Please remember the 06 hurrican season was going to be the end of us than that didn't happen now it was suppose to be the 07 hurrican season and that hasn't happen.
The other day they said they didn't factor in enough for water so they said the real heat up will begin in 09 maybe.
Time to end the poltics and get the real people who study climate to get together and come up with a clear understanding of what is going on.
Also anyone making money off of it one way other the other should be dismiss too that does include Al Gore.

First, It would require meteorological globophobes to have an open mind.
Then we need to understand many scientific studies are funded by political bodies with an agenda and not take studies funded by one source(UN) as the "gospel" like the Y2k crap.
Unfortunately, When Speaker Pelosi said "the debate on global warming is over" the enviro-tax crusade motor went into overdrive.
There is a lot of money and power to be had in the name of global warming and all those scientists and politicians need more funding.
I doubt there will be any serious debate. Just bans, taxes, and elite passes(carbon credits). You and I will foot the bill so our elite can keep the limos, jets, and multiple mansions they are accustomed to while the scheme will be no more effective than Kyoto.

1) NASA didn't admit anything. There was a small error in a single data set from a single US temperature station. When the error was discovered NASA promptly corrected it. The error resulted in less than a thousandth degree difference in the global mean temperature record. 1998 (not 1980, as you said), is still the hottest year on record. Just ask Stephen McIntyre, the guy who found the error in the first place.
You can go ahead and read up about it in the links below.

2) I don't see what the hurricane season has to do with the validity of anthropogenic global warming theory. Warmer temperatures such as we've seen over the past century will either affect hurricanes or not, regardless of whether the warming is man made.
3) That's how science works. Better data leads to more accurate predictions. This again has nothing to do with the theory's validity.
4) The people who study climate have been together for a great many years now. That's why we have a widespread scientific consensus over the issue.

Come on dude. You even got the wrong facts from the article wrong. 1998, not 1980. The whole article is wrong anyway, as I've explained many a time by now:

"Please remember the 06 hurrican season was going to be the end of us than that didn't happen now it was suppose to be the 07 hurrican season and that hasn't happen."
Please remember that this is all false, and please support your claims with evidence if you want anyone to believe you.
"The other day they said they didn't factor in enough for water so they said the real heat up will begin in 09 maybe."
No, what's not what "they" said.

"get the real people who study climate to get together and come up with a clear understanding of what is going on."
Been there, done that. Read the IPCC Report.

And stop obsessing about Al Gore. He's irrelevant. When you start talking about Al Gore it just undermines whatever point you're trying to make.

Yea, and Algores movie shows the facts on the real global warming even though he had to use animated polar bears because he couldn't find real ones in distress or melting ice caps. But the movie is true!
Don't forget the same scientist that found the bug for warmest year was the same scientist that found the flaw in the famous 'hockey stick'.
Global warming is based on nothing but fraud and emotion.
Show real objective facts that can be repeated. We spent enough money on this, now give us some damned results!

Facts absent of political agendas from those bent on converting the USA into a third world socialist nanny state would be a start to the reasonable discussion over Global Warming.
But as it stands now, AL Gorebot wastes more energy in a month than you or I could conserve in a year.
From the needs of the few to the needs of the affluent, those that have the authority to take away your rights will do so in order to preserve their standard of living.
It happened in Communist Russia, it is happening now in Communist China and it is trying to be implemented in Socialist America.

Man made Global warming is a term invented by Governments that wish to make you pay more tax.
If you believe that we have caused this warming, then your wrong.
1 large volcano eruption puts more crap in the air than all the cars do in a year.
Freak weather, hot times cold times have happened since time began.
End of debate.

NASA is just one source of data for one country. These types of issues are of some interest to the popular press (apparently), but don't really affect anything.
And don't call me a liberal. I'm slightly to the left of Mussolini politically, but that has nothing to do with Global Warming.
