We need a reality check on the NOAA>s blatant spin-doctoring of Arctic
temperatures.
'This is pseudoscience' German scientist Ernst-Georg Beck, a biologist
Rebuts Arctic Reports
October 17 2008
Excerpt: The annual report issued by researchers at the U.S. National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other experts is the latest
to paint a dire picture of the impact of climate change in the Arctic.
[...]
The real averaged temperatures of the whole Arctic circle (70-90 N) can
be found in the same data base used by NOAA (CRU, Phil Jones): The graph
shows a strong Arctic warming during 1918 and 1960, stronger than today
with a rise of about + 4°C up to 1938.
Referencing only a rise since 1960 we got the illusion of a dramatic
rise in modern times.
Conclusion: The news item:" Arctic air temperatures climb to record
levels" is selective science and wrong because the Arctic Ocean (
covering an area of more than 50% of the Arctic circle) has been left
unconsidered.
The NOAA study summarizes: "5°C record levels in temperature in autumn",
presents the averaged temperatures only on land stations and discusses
melting sea ice as a cause!
This is pseudoscience.
In contrast the current Arctic warming mimics the 1920s-1940s event, as
a recent study from the Ohio State University reveals.
The scientists recognized from using weather station records, maps and
photos from the past century that temperatures in Greenland had warmed
in the 1920s at rates equivalent to the recent past.
