New Study: Temp Adjustments Account For 'Nearly All Warming'
This peer-reviewed study tried to validate current surface temperature datasets managed by NASA, NOAA and the UK’s Met Office, all of which make adjustments to raw thermometer readings. Skeptics of man-made global warming have criticized the adjustments.
“You would think that when you make adjustments you’d sometimes get warming and sometimes get cooling. That’s almost never happened,” said D’Aleo, who co-authored the study with statistician James Wallace and Cato Institute climate scientist Craig Idso. Their study found measurements “nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history,” which was “nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern.” https://thsresearch.files.wordpress....ort-062717.pdf From the study's summary and conclusion: The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data . Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever – despite current claims of record setting warming. Finally, since GAST data set validity is a necessary condition for EPA’s GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding, it too is invalidated by these research findings. |
The Cato Institute? No bias there. :rolleyes:

Cato does geophysics now?

"Charles Koch co-founded Cato in 1977. Both Charles and David Koch were among the four “shareholders” who “owned” Cato until 2011 [27], and the latter Koch remains a member of Cato’s Board of Directors. [28] Koch foundations contributed more than $5 million to Cato from 1997-2011. [29]" Whell sure likes to believe nonsense. |
Lookie! Its the time-honored but utterly head-in-the-sand practice of attacking the source of the info without looking that the info itself. In this case, one of the PhD's who co-authored the study is affiliated with Cato. The other co-authors are:

Good luck with that. |
So, you found a handful of cranks while 90% of real climate scientists say we're warming the planet up. Big woo. :rolleyes:

Dr. Craig Idso: Heartland Institute
Dr. James P. Wallace III ... B.S., Aeronautical Engineering, Brown University: Does anyone see anything remotely qualifying him to study climate science? Don't have time to look up all of these, but I'm pretty sure they are all associated with Big Coal, Big Oil, etc. See my link above, a list of all these orgs that post fraudulent "scientific" studies. |
