HadCRUT4…not what it pretends to be!
Ungracious loser James Annan couldn’t wait posting about the new all-singing all-dancing HadCRUT4 dataset, showing “that reports of the death of global warming have been somewhat exaggerated“.
It’s really really hard to avoid laughing when adjustments come out of thin air but anyway…let’s consider HadCRUT4 less of a joke for a moment.
Since temperatures go up by including the upper Arctic, it is obvious that the rest of the world, and especially the inhabited regions, have not warmed as expected.
And a 5C increase in an area where the average is -20C is _not_ the same thing as a 5C increase where the average is +10C. The former is inconsequential, the latter a change in all seasons.
So HadCRUT4 simply confirms things are going as predicted only in faraway places where there are few measurements and nothing is really changing anyway.
If this doesn’t kill global warming, it certainly helps putting it in the right place.
The Unbearable Nakedness of CLIMATE CHANGE 
GIGO is alive and well.
Warming causes the Garbage to decompose faster and increase the putrid smell.
It is good to see the “Players” promoting the latest Garbage Dump.
