Think This: September 12, 2007

Each Wednesday, there will be a new feature post special only to the Étudiant. The story will have some kind of political, economical, environmental, or social theme. I will try my very best to publish information that has not been covered by the mainstream media. Most of the information will be coming from a think tank, hence the title.

Record Temperatures Faulty

Indeed, just a couple of weeks ago, NASA quietly rewrote U.S. temperature history since 1880. As it turns out, 1934 is now the warmest year on record in the U.S., dropping 1998 to second. In addition, 1921, not 2006, is the third warmest year.

According to the newly reconstructed record, three of the top five warmest years since 1880 occurred before 1940, and six of the 10 warmest years on record occurred before 85 percent of the human-caused greenhouse gas emissions were put into the atmosphere.

- What a low blow to environmentalists and global warming advocates!
