As proven by science. The Nasa climate scientists who claimed 2014 set a new record for global warmth last night admitted they were only 38 per cent sure this was true… The claim made headlines around the world, but yesterday it emerged that GISS’s analysis – based on readings from more than 3,000 measuring stations worldwide – is subject to a margin of error. Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all. Yet the Nasa press release failed to mention this, as well as the fact that the alleged ‘record’ amounted to an increase over 2010, the previous ‘warmest year’, of just two-hundredths of a degree – or 0.02C. The margin of error is said by scientists to be approximately 0.1C – several times as much. When 99.97% of scientists agree that there’s a 38 percent chance that 2014 was possibly warmer than 2010 by an infinitesimal amount, that’s good enough for me. It’s time to abandon such modern conveniences as indoor heating, plastic bags and not dying of the plague in our 30s and go back to a more natural way of living. Unfortunately that will also include Global Warming protests dressed in thinsulate parkas dying of exposure. Or is that fortunately? I can never remember. But maybe we can just solve all this by buying Al Gore’s magic climate bonds so that the environment is no longer angry at us. If we buy one now, Gore promises to throw in a special message to us from Gaia.
