    How about specifying how it was ethical first?
    How about you defend your statement rather than pretend that you have presumption on any stupidity you come up with?

    For you to think I have that much time on my hands must be because you do.

    Sorry, I have better things to do than look for things you can. I have a life. Don't you?
    If you can't back up your claims, don't ever expect a decent discussion. Instead, expect lols.

    Smh.

    LOL

    Cherry picking data, much?

    That works both ways.

    http://www.weather.com/news/news/win...-2014-20140313

    Winter 2013-2014 was one of the coldest on record in parts of the Midwest, according to the government's official monthly climate report released Thursday.

    NOAA's National Climatic Data Center said that the period from December 2013 through February 2014 was the 34th coldest such period for the contiguous 48 states as a whole since modern records began in 1895.

    Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri registered a top 10 coldest winter. Seventeen other states from Washington state to the northern Gulf Coast to New York were colder than average.

    The first two months of 2014 were among the top three coldest on record in the following cities:

    Green Bay, Wisc. (second coldest)
    La Crosse, Wisc. (third coldest)
    Rockford, Ill. (third coldest)
    Detroit (third coldest)
    Dubuque, Iowa (third coldest)
    Waterloo, Iowa (third coldest)
    Continuing what was seen in 2013, the number of daily record-low temperatures outnumbered the number of record-high temperatures nationally in early 2014, according to NCDC statistics compiled by meteorologist Guy Walton of The Weather Channel.

    that little spec there in the northern midwest, like a tiny pimple on your behind is the only place where the record cold was CC LOL.

    the gubmint and 1000s of scientists are lying of course, but that "cooling trend" has lots of supporting data

    2014 Was The Hottest Year Since At Least 1880, Government Finds

    Numerically, our best estimate for the global temperature of 2014 puts it slightly above
    (by 0.01 C) that of the next warmest year (2010) but by much less than the margin of
    uncertainty (0.05 C). Therefore it is impossible to conclude from our analysis which of
    2014, 2010, or 2005 was actually the warmest year.

    So the the warmest years on record are 2005, 2010 and 2014?

    Damn.

    So if it wasn't the warmest then it is up there with the warmest of all time and your dumb ass thinks that is a win. Nevermind that you are back to denying. Still a sophist piece of I see.

    It warmed a little over 1 degree in the 20th century and now appears to be leveling off. I don't know why you're so angry about that.

    Who said i was angry? Right now I am laughing at your reading ability.

    It said that given the percent error that they could not make a claim of the warmest with certainty. It made no comment on the comparative quan ies as a whole. I am not confused by the quan ies the anomaly shows itself as. You still are or more likely trying to confuse others. Either way, you are s .

    The final numbers are in: 2014 is officially the hottest year on record in the past 135 years, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced Friday.

    The record does not come as a surprise as it’s another marker of the sustained ac ulation of heat in the atmosphere thanks to the unabated emissions of greenhouses gases such as carbon dioxide. Nine of the 10 warmest years on record have all occurred in the 21st century, with the exception of the blockbuster El Nino year of 1998. It also marks 38 straight years of above-average global annual temperatures.

    A Climate Central analysis shows that 13 of the hottest 15 years on record have all occurred since 2000 and that the odds of that happening randomly without the boost of global warming is 1 in 27 million.

    According to NOAA, the average global temperature for 2014 was 1.24°F above the 20th century average of 57°F. The year, capped off by a record warm December, surpassed the previous record holders, 2005 and 2010, by 0.07°F. Those numbers confirm the ranking by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) made earlier this month.

    Including December, there were seven months in 2014 that set or tied record warmth.

    There are small differences in the way various agencies handle global temperature data, yielding sometimes different rankings for particular months and years. But for 2014, there is broad agreement on the ranking, and for all agencies, nine of the 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 2000.

    The lack of any record cold years since 1911 is another sign of the long-term global warming trend. Over that same period, 19 records for hottest year, including 2014, have been set, according to a Climate Central analysis.

    Unusual warmth was spread across certain land regions this year, particularly the Russian Far East, the U.S. West, parts of Australia, and Europe, which saw its hottest year in more than 500 years.

    But it was the warmth of the oceans that really stood out. Sea surface temperatures for the planet were a record 1.03°F above the 20th century average, surpassing 2003 and 1998 (when an extreme El Nino boosted ocean heat) by 0.09°F.

    Every ocean basin had some part of it with record warmth, said Thomas Karl, director of NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center.

    How 2015 will shape up is, of course, uncertain, but that ocean heat will play a role, as water responds much more slowly to changes in heat than land. So even if there is an event like a volcano eruption that could cause cooling, that ocean heat isn’t likely to dissipate anytime soon.

    “So that gives some added energy for 2015,” Karl said.

    I'm not surprised that the last few decades are the hottest, but I don't believe it to be 2014 as the hottest. I wonder what the raw temperature records say, before corrections were applied.

    so where di you get the idea it is leveling off? There is a momentum or inertia in any system change and I suspect that even if the world ceased increasing emissions the temp rise will continue for many decades

    I have looked up the local records vs. NOAA. Too bad NOAA doesn't also have an uncorrected set of data accessible.

    jfc, you have zero clue about instrumentation. you cannot even argue the validity of their normalization -it is well beyond your scope- so you resort to this wishful thinking bull .

    again when different instruments and environments are being used to take measurements, you have to normalize. there is nothing meangingful in the raw data because they are not measuring exact the same thing. this should be obvious: balloon data versus surface nor digital as opposed to mercury devices do not measure in the same manner or represent the same thing.

    one of the major achievments of the BEST project was to examine and refine those normalizations. I know you want to see the raw data and do some napkin math but thank goodness we are spared your stupidity.
