Could you repeat that?

Watts Up With That posts a flashback article from 1989 in which scientists for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say that the U.S. Temperature data shows NO WARMING since 1895.

A quote:

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 lead scientist was Dr. Kirby Hanson. Of course, he and Dr. James Hansen are quoted as saying that this study does not rule out global warming.

Tying themselves in knots even in 1989.

Also on WUWT today is another example of twisting in the wind. Spring, sprang, sprung Three weeks ago in the UK's Daily Telegraph there was an article about spring arriving three weeks early, on average. (Three weeks early would be around now.) Today there's another talking about how spring will be late this year.

When you hop aboard a band wagon, it's important to know if it has any finite destination or if it's simply going in circles.
