is 1990, 1991, 1995, 1998, 1999, '01,'02, '03, '04 and '05 the hottest years according to Al Gore's film?

Question

i need some research about this.. too..
something to prove that these years were the hottest

Answer 1

There are two worldwide temperature records commonly used in climate research. The first is the NASA/GISS data, which can be found here:
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt

The second is the one by the Hadley Centre, a branch of the UK Meteorological Office, which can be found here:
http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadcrut3/

According to NASA/GISS, the ten hottest years worldwide since 1880 were:
2005, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2004, 2001, 1997, (tie) 1995 & 1990.

According to Hadley/UK Met Office, the ten hottest years worldwide since 1850 were:
1998, 2005, 2003, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2001, 1997, 1999, and 1995.

Answer 2

If "dana1981" and his clan really believed in man made global warming they would not be wasting so much time in Yahoo Answers trying to prove to others that they are right about this issue. They would be using their time and energies more wisely trying to do something about it. You see, I don’t believe in man made global warming, therefore the only thing I do about it is confront and expose environmental alarmists like them, and have some fun with it. They are too young, too inexperienced and too far left ideologically to be objective about this issue (and for that matter about any issue at all).

By the way, have you read the latest data from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) now showing the hottest year since 1880 was 1934? Nineteen-ninety-eight dropped to second, while the third hottest year was way back in 1921. Indeed, four of the 10 hottest years were in the 1930s, while only three were in the past decade.

Also, the real 15 hottest years are spread over seven decades. Eight occurred before atmospheric carbon dioxide began its sharp rise; seven occurred afterwards.

If you have not read it, read it, and stop posting wrong and outdated information!

Answer 3

Following find the truth about the hottest years in recent US history.

If you follow the global warming debate, you "know" that nine of the ten warmest years recorded in the U.S. lower 48 since 1880 have occurred since 1995, with the very hottest being 1998.

But whaddya know! Those figures are wrong. Data from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) now show the hottest year since 1880 was 1934. Nineteen-ninety-eight dropped to second, while the third hottest year was way back in 1921. Indeed, four of the 10 hottest years were in the 1930s, while only three were in the past decade.

The real 15 hottest years are spread over seven decades. Eight occurred before atmospheric carbon dioxide began its sharp rise; seven occurred afterwards.

Many global warming fanatics have pointed to NASA as proof that their concerns about a warming planet are justified. They have repeatedly cited the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), whose director, James Hansen, has asserted that nine of the 10 warmest years in history have occurred since 1995, with 1998 the warmest. When NASA was confronted with evidence provided by Climate Audit, a blog run by Stephen McIntyre devoted to auditing the statistical methods and data used in historical reconstructions of past climate data, it reversed itself. Without the fanfare used to hype the global warming fanaticism it had earlier supported, NASA now says four of the top 10 years of high temperatures are from the 1930s. Several previously selected "warm" years - 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004 - fell behind 1900.

GISS now says its previous claim that 1998 was the warmest year in American history is no longer valid. The warmest year was 1934.

Has any of this new information changed the minds of the global warming fundamentalists? Nope. Neither has much of it seen the light of day in the mainstream media, which continue to carry stories where seldom is heard an alternative word and the skies are polluted all day.

Answer 4

Al Gore is a good man, but in 20 years what will they say about him,he almost became the President and everyone will be laughing at his dire predictions,truly a pity.In my country it also appears to be getting hotter, but when you look at average temp. for summer or winter it is only 1 degree hotter,since 1880 ,according to Sydney observatory,i know i checked,but please help me out with the maths i have only a highschool education.Only 3 days very hot here,in last 8 years, all the old timers agree it is hotter,but not as hot as 1940 -46 celicus- the same year in winter it snowed for the only time in recorded history,the weather is always strange and we have a huge variable pattern here in Sydney.

Answer 5

Sorry but the inconvenient fact is that 1934 was the hottest year in recorded history. Please note that Al Gore's film is meant as science fiction and for entertainment. The facts in the movie are no more true then the facts in Star Trek or Godzilla. Please note that the weather in California is cooling. In the 1960's and 1970's the temp in summer almost always reached 100 now if it is over 100 everyone says how unusual. Places where it never snows in winter are now getting snow. Look at the weather in the Midwest in August (makes the global warmist looklike a fool).

Answer 6

Forget Gore's film. Here's the scientific data, from NASA.

Here's a good graph. Note that 1998 was unusually warm, but the long term trend is still warming, not cooling.

Here's the data. The note at the bottom of the table explains how to convert to absolute temperature. The data to us is the column marked "SON".

Answer 7

Depends on what part of the world you are talking about .Take this year east Texas has had a very mild summer ,July was filled with a lot of rain, and very nice temps ,and other parts of the country where hot and dry .So Al Gore can take temps and say its the hottest on record , and one state over its very mild.

Answer 8

That would depend for what area and for what time period. Most people have noticed a change in the weather since thier childhood anyway , and I can sense something odd about the seasons, more and more of the flora and fauna 'doesn't know what's up'

Who do you want to prove it to?

Answer 9

Something like that. The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990, as you can see here:

Answer 10

The key word is "on record." How many years have there been records?
