Blogger PWNS NASA Global Warming Data

How did I miss this? Blogger Stephen McIntyre of the Climate Audit blog recently caught an error made by NASA in calculating changes in temperature. The data had been used to "prove" that 1998 was the hottest year on record. More "evidence" of global warming.

After McIntyre pointed out the error out, NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Science (GISS) in New York conceded to him that 1934 was, in fact, the hottest year on record. NASA, of course, is sticking by their guns saying that the data does not disprove global warming citing such evidence as "changing migratory patterns among animals".

Animal migration? Uh, I've never been much of a climate skeptic in the past, but I have to wonder if NASA is trying to make me one? Will a study of manbearpig migrations be next?

I know most of you are probably aware of all this, but better late than never I guess.

UPDATE: It's not data, it's an anecdote, but if "changing migratory patterns among animals" isn't an anecdote, I don't know what is: NYC Coldest August, evah.
