Yeah, that is the real data for the global temperature since 1980. That big spike in 1998? El Nino. (via Real Science from WoodForTrees). Meanwhile, CFACT has a billboard campaign going that shows no change in the global temperature since 1997, using HADCrut4 data.
Oh, and just to head the Warmists off at the pass, yes, the global temp is still higher than it was in 1980. That’s what happens during warm periods in the Holocene. It was still warmer in the 1930’s, and really, we’re talking about an increase of .4 Celsius, not exactly planet boiling, eh?
Mr. Teach,
Perhaps you do not realize that this data is a detraction from the campaign to destroy free market capitalism. We cannot implement cap and trade to further enrich the big banks and green market kleptocrats if we allow un-moderated data to pollute our message. Please take this information down immediately and post a retraction.
I agree, this is confusing to those who are confused. It is plain to see that weather on a daily basis is climate across the globe. Your attempts to intimate that the global climate cannot be changed by raising taxes on Americans is ludicrous.
