Media Confuse ‘Unprecedented’ Climate-Model Temps With Actual Temps

guardian headlineThis past week two left-leaning media outlets, MSN (via The Washington Post aka WaPo), and the always alarmed UK-based The Guardian ran stories saying the Arctic and Antarctic had experienced “unprecedented” high temperatures. [bold, links added]

These claims can’t be verified since they were the results from a set of weather-model simulations, indicating variations of above-normal temperatures for the regions, not actual surface temperatures measured by ground-based weather stations.


The Guardian headline was full of worry courtesy of author Fiona Harvey:

Heatwaves at both of Earth’s poles alarm climate scientists

Antarctic areas reach 40C above normal at same time as north pole regions hit 30C above usual levels

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
