The Washington Post had to put its foot in its mouth the other day after its journalists accidentally uncovered the truth about global warming: It isn't real when you look at all of the available historical data in context.
For years, corporate media outlets like WaPo have been trumpeting warmer-than-normal summers as proof that the planet is heating up and the oceans are boiling. The problem is that when you travel further back than just the past couple years, you find colder-than-average times of the year, too.
Taken in context, it becomes clear throughout the historical record that temperatures go up and down depending on the time of year. Some years are warmer than others while other years are cooler than others – it has always been this way.
WaPo, citing a recent study that claims to have gone back 485 million years, determined that the earth is actually cooler right now than average – check out this graph:

"Earth's average temperature reached 58.96 F (14.98 C), well below the average 96.8 degrees F (36 degrees Celsius) the study showed around 100 million years ago," the independent media reported, citing the study in question.
"The trend shows Earth's temperatures have been sliding for 50 million years."
(Related: Did you know that a recent study confirmed the fact that sunlight and clouds, not carbon dioxide as many mistakenly believe, is responsible for periodic changes in the climate?)
NOAA temperature station bias skews readings inaccurately hotter
Whether you believe in a young earth or an old earth, the point still stands that planetary temperatures have been fluctuating wildly since the beginning of time. And it has absolutely nothing to do with people eating meat or driving cars like the globalists claim.
Only when you take very limited snapshots of carefully chosen time periods in recent years does the data skew warmer than normal. This is what is known as data cherry-picking, and the climate lunatics do it all the time to try to prove their conspiracy theories about global temperature changes.
It turns out that more than 90 percent of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) temperature monitoring stations have a heat bias. This means their temperature readings are unreliable, often due to urbanization and the presence of concrete and buildings that make the thermometers show much warmer temperatures than they should.
"And with that large of a number, over 90 percent, the methods that NOAA employs to try to reduce this don't work because the bias is so overwhelming," said meteorologist Anthony Watts, a senior fellow for environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, to the independent media.
"The few stations that are left that are not biased because they are, for example, outside of town in a field and are an agricultural research station that’s been around for 100 years ... their data gets completely swamped by the much larger set of biased data. There's no way you can adjust that out."
The following video shows using side-by-side visuals how the media and government have been fearmongering about a climate catastrophe for decades. Sometimes it was global warming they claimed was about to destroy the world while other times it was global cooling – see for yourself:
The climate scam isn’t complex. We are always 7-10 years away from climate catastrophe. ?
