German Analysis: Spreading Alarmism Over Mere Hundredths Of A Degree Is “Complete Hyperbolism”. Some more facts from ‘No Tricks Zone’ web site in Germany regarding average global temps, too. notrickszone/2015/01/05/german-analysis-spreading-alarmism-over-mere-hundreths-of-a-degree-is-complete-hyperbolism/ Screaming bloody murder over nothing? Keep in mind that RSS recently released the satellite measured global temperature for 2014 and found it is not even close to a new record! Three days ago, one of Germany’s leading climate science sites, Science Skeptical, issued the following comment: Global Temperature Record 2014? By Michael Krueger. (Translated and edited by P Gosselin.) A new temperature record for Germany has been announced by the DWD German Weather Service. With 10.3°C the warmest year since 1881 has been measured. Here are the facts. 2014 was the warmest year in Germany since 1881, but the warmest 12-months occurred from July 2006 to June 2007 with a mean of 11.3°C. Therefore the annual mean for 2006/2007 as 1°C over the current annual mean. Chart depicts Germany’s temperature since 1761. Rose line is the annual mean temperature and the dark red line depicts the 5-year smoothing. Moreover, since 2000, Germany’s temperature has barely risen; in contradiction to atmospheric CO2 concentrations. How does the global temperature appear? There are different datasets available for global tempertaure. I’m selecting the most alarmist, which comes from NASA. The gray shading shows the monthly mean values and the red curve is the smoothed annual mean (over 12 months). Since 1880 the global temperature has risen about 0.8°C, i.e. not even a full degree. Since 1998 (a powerful El-Nino-year) there’s been practically no rise. What follows is a blow-up for the recent period. In 2007 and 2010 it was just as warm as in 2014, or even warmer. We’re talking about 1/100 °C, which is deep inside the range of uncertainty. Yet the concentrations of atmospheric CO2 continued their steady rise. Based on these data, spreading climate alarmism is complete hyperbolism. Very likely in the days ahead, NASA will be announcing a global temperature record that in reality never was.
