NASA has now
silently released corrected
figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on
record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking)
moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years
on record now all occur before World War II. Anthony Watts has put the new
data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events.

If the article isn't enough to show we still don't know enough
about the weather to make dire predictions, then the scores of comments
should be enough, with both sides debating the various arguments (“Greenland
is melting!” “But it's also revealing large Viking settlements showing it was
warmer a millenium ago!”).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
