Too Hot to Handle

GISS what? NASA's advanced degrees. Also: Wrestling with Dennis Hastert. Reading into Obama. Reading into Rowling. Plus more.
p> ADVANCED DEGREES br> Re: Michael Fumento’s James Hansen’s Hacks : /p>

For all Michael Fumento’s hype, his August 16 piece is not about global warming.

The NASA GISS temperature record he discusses is not global — but national , which is what the N in NASA stands for — and the correction to it arising from the bad data splice detected by the diligent McIntyre amounts to only a few hundredths of one degree.

The formerly hottest U.S. year, 1998 has gone from being 0.01 degrees warmer than 1934 to being 0.02 degrees cooler. but the rest of the numbers talk, even if Fumento’s piece fails to cite the inconvenient fact that 1998 and 2005 remain the warmest years on record globally.

p>Readers can judge the old and the new data for themselves — its posted side by side here — better bring a magnifying glass. br> — Russell Seitz br> Cambridge, Massachusetts
