Holes In The Global Warming Layer
It seems the Global Warming debate is really starting to heat even more.
I think it is a good thing of course but it seems some on the left consider it a bad thing. They are the ones of course who feel no more debate is needed. Global Warming is a fact and nothing more need be said on the issue. They are right and all the rest of us are mere deniers.

NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II. Anthony Watts has put the new data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events.
The effect of the correction on global temperatures is minor (some 1-2% less warming than originally thought), but the effect on the US global warming propaganda machine could be huge.
It is always funny how the left speaks of freedom of speech and allowing for debate, blah, blah, blah. But when it really gets down to it, they are only talking about the speech they want to hear and the debate is the one they want to have.
Thankfully for the internet and talk radio, those of us who do not share the same opinion of our friends on the left, cannot and will not be silenced. The longer this debate continues, the more the true facts of global warming come to the surface.
The debate is far from over.
