Climate-change ‘hiatus’ disappears...

...with new data. Apparently the pause in global warming may have been a "temporary mirage".

Anything that doesn't agree with your particular bias is poo poo'd. why don't you listen to other folks besides the ones you are apologist for?

Challenge my rebuttal with facts instead of embracing your own bias. Can't we just stick to the facts? Is that too hard for you to do? Anybody can cower from the facts when they are not convenient. That is what the intellectually challenged always do.

To increase the rate in warming, NOAA scientists put more weight on certain ocean buoy arrays, adjusted ship-based temperature readings upward, and slightly raised land-based temperatures as well

Scientists have long known that ships log slightly warmer ocean temperatures than do buoys operating in the same location. The influx of data from an expansion of buoys during the past two decades has reduced the apparent rate of ocean warming. NOAA has now adjusted for this effect, in line with similar changes that the UK Met Office made to its global temperature record.

Wow, talk about biased writing.

No, unlike climate denialists, scientists don't begin with the assumption and then attempt to force the evidenc ...[text shortened]... been no pause in global warming. Linking to a biased opinion piece can't really change all that.

What you fail to understand is that changing how data is collected does not justify revising past data before those changes were made.

This is how science works. The moment you realise that earlier data is wrong because of X, and you manage to confirm X, that's when you go back to that data and adjust it accordingly. Whatever results you get is what you report, whether or not you liked the implications of the incorrect data. In other words, you follow the evidence where it leads. ...[text shortened]... djustment method itself. Anything less will come across as desperate bias and meaningless noise.
