Cherry Picking is Easy

Tamino has named me “Mr. Cherry” for picking start dates of graphs which are different from the ones he chooses to cherry pick. For instance, he considers 1975 to be the start of “the modern global warming era.”
Living up to his high standards, I declare August 16, 2010 to be the start of “the 2010 La Niña cool down”. Since August 16, UAH channel 5 global temperatures have been dropping at a rate of 1,554 degrees per century.
See below how that plots out.
If the trend continues, the earth will reach absolute zero in about 15 years.
That’s ridiculous, of course.
But the demonstration above is based on a similar logic of picking a start date of 1975 for measuring the global temperature record.
Why pick 1975? It makes the best pie.
Thomas Friedman Cries Unsustainability From His Glorious Mansion

Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman is “bummed out” over America’s lack of progress taking on climate change.
…
“I believe when we look back at the years 2008 and 2009, what historians will ultimately say was it was a moment when both the market and Mother Nature hit the wall,” he said. “It was a moment when both the market and Mother Nature said, ‘Stop, hold on, this is your warning heart attack. You are growing in a way that is unsustainable. Turn back now.’”
Takeway point: If your house is bigger than Tom Friedman’s mansion (below), maybe you should consider a lifestyle change:
Scientists Speak Out on Satellitegate Scandal

US Government admits global warming satellite sensors “degraded” – temperatures may be out by 10-15 degrees. Now five satellites in controversy. Top scientists speak out.
In an escalating row dubbed ‘Satellitegate’ further evidence proves NOAA knew of these faults for years. World’s top climate scientists and even prior governmental reports cite underfunding and misallocation as the trigger for spiraling satellite data calamities. Key flaws with five satellites undermines global data.
Most disturbing of all is that it took publication of my article last week to persuade the authorities to withdraw the errant NOAA-16 satellite from service. But as Dr. John Christy indicates, the real Satellitegate is not about one satellite. The scandal is endemic with comparable flaws across the entire network; the scandal is also that it took a tip off from a member of the public and the widespread broadcast of my article before one of the offending junk boxes, NOAA-16, got taken down.
