Warm-Mongers!
That's the phrase used by Mark Steyn in yesterday's column, in which he points out that NASA's reported data about temperatures in the US have been revised downward for the 1990s and early 21st century:
Something rather odd happened the other day. If you go to NASA's Web site and look at the "U.S. surface air temperature" rankings for the lower 48 states, you might notice that something has changed.If all this is right, why are Al Gore, David Suzuki, and the other global warming fanatics still being listened to? If all this is right, then surely people will eventually stop paying as much attention to the warm-mongers.
Then again, you might not. They're not issuing any press releases about it. But they have quietly revised their All-Time Hit Parade for U.S. temperatures. The "hottest year on record" is no longer 1998, but 1934. Another alleged swelterer, the year 2001, has now dropped out of the Top 10 altogether, and most of the rest of the 21st century – 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 – plummeted even lower down the Hot 100. In fact, every supposedly hot year from the Nineties and this decade has had its temperature rating reduced. Four of America's Top 10 hottest years turn out to be from the 1930s, that notorious decade when we all drove around in huge SUVs with the air-conditioning on full-blast.

Heck, those hot temperatures in 1934 were probably caused by people breathing extra hard anticipating the end of the depression - even the anticipation of prosperity can cause climate change.The link is here.
