ECO-ALARMIST IN 1989: "NO WARMING LAST 100 YEARS"

Flashback: U.S. Data Since 1895 Fail To Show Warming Trend

Here’s a blast from the past. Dr. James Hansen’s view in 1989 seemed a lot more temperate than it does today. Back then, he’s ready to accede to a study that says something counter to what his theory predicts, saying “I have no quarrel with it”.

U.S. Data Since 1895 Fail To Show Warming Trend

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25— After examining climate data extending back nearly 100 years, a team of Government scientists has concluded that there has been no significant change in average temperatures or rainfall in the United States over that entire period.

While the nation’s weather in individual years or even for periods of years has been hotter or cooler and drier or wetter than in other periods, the new study shows that over the last century there has been no trend in one direction or another.

The study, made by scientists for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was published in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters. It is based on temperature and precipitation readings taken at weather stations around the country from 1895 to 1987.

SOME MIGHT ARGUE WE KNOW MORE NOW THAN THEN.

BS.

THE ECO-ALARMISTS MAY KNOW MORE - BUT MOST OF IT IS WRONG!

AGW = BS.

CO2 = HARMLESS.

AL GORE PSTFU.
