The Times shows
a sharply decreasing
temperature trend
as a sharply increasing
temperature trend.
They show
current data
incorrectly.
They hide
the hot years
before 1960.
The first fraud
is to "cherry pick"
a starting point
of 1960,
a year which was
unusually cool,
compared with
the rest of the
20th century
-- and then ignore
50 years of data,
from 1910 to 1960,
because using them
would reverse
the long-term trend,
from a warming trend
to a cooling trend:
(see chart below)
The second fraud
is to extend the chart
72 years into the future
and use wild guesses
of the future climate,
showing lots of
2017 to 2089
global warming,
to scare people
... and never mind
that predictions
in the past 30 years
were made for
triple the warming
that actually happened !
(see chart below)
Below are
several chart
"overlays"
comparing the
truncated,
cherry-picked
New York Times
"warming charts",
with actual
temperature data
since the 1930s,
for several
weather stations:
Below is a full, honest
"days above 90 degrees F."
temperature chart
for Ithaca, New York
since 1930
( note the cooling trend
since the 1930s ):
Below is the
New York Times
warming "chart"
for Ithaca
since 1960,
overlayed on
the above chart
since 1930:
Below are
three more
overlayed
charts,
for two other
weather stations,
mentioned by the
New York Times:
( cooling trends
since the 1930s,
are "converted"
to warming trends
since 1960 ... plus
wild guesses
of the future temperature
were added ! ) :
