2014 "hottest year ever" with 38% certainty

Nasa climate scientists: We said 2014 was the warmest year on record... but we're only 38% sure we were right

Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies claimed its analysis of world temperatures showed ‘2014 was the warmest year on record’
But it emerged that GISS’s analysis is subject to a margin of error
Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all

The Nasa climate scientists who claimed 2014 set a new record for global warmth last night admitted they were only 38 per cent sure this was true.

In a press release on Friday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) claimed its analysis of world temperatures showed ‘2014 was the warmest year on record’.

The claim made headlines around the world, but yesterday it emerged that GISS’s analysis – based on readings from more than 3,000 measuring stations worldwide – is subject to a margin of error. Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all.

Yet the Nasa press release failed to mention this, as well as the fact that the alleged ‘record’ amounted to an increase over 2010, the previous ‘warmest year’, of just two-hundredths of a degree – or 0.02C. The margin of error is said by scientists to be approximately 0.1C – several times as much.

As a result, GISS’s director Gavin Schmidt has now admitted Nasa thinks the likelihood that 2014 was the warmest year since 1880 is just 38 per cent. However, when asked by this newspaper whether he regretted that the news release did not mention this, he did not respond. Another analysis, from the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) project, drawn from ten times as many measuring stations as GISS, concluded that if 2014 was a record year, it was by an even tinier amount.

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

They are just so desperate to make this fake global warming stick for Americans who have called bull crap on this hoax.

Oh but don't worry, climate change isn't a thing, there's no evidence for it

climate change is in fact real...

Manmade global warming, yes there is no evidence for it. Now the normal cycle of a planet changing absolutely. It is the whole reason the left came up with the absolute stupid name climate change. It could mean anything at anytime for the excuse of claiming the world is coming to a end and we will all be cannibals very soon.

Yes normal climate change happening long before us is so real that is why glaciers across the world are growing because we are getting so warm. LOL!
