Zero content or analysis in the article. Hacker News is not the place for your pseudo science climate change denialism.

Pseudo science? The article is referring to the HadCRUT dataset of global temperatures.

Are you suggesting that the UK Met Office is doing bad science?

Are you suggesting that warming is occurring despite the fact that there is no warming trend evident in the data?

Catastrophic global warming is a hypothesis based on the output of climate models. Unfortunately the actual data hasn't aligned with the predicted output of the models for many years. This dataset is yet another example.

Siberia is melting (melted) : 40,000 year warming. Arctic ice melted. Antarctic shelf gone (another 100,000 year warming). How's that for data?

It's silly to argue models when the real world is undeniably in the warmest phase seen in centuries of centuries.

It is pseudo science because the post contains no scientific analysis of the statistic(s). Just because I use data from the large hadron collider in some mixed up argument for a geocentric universe doesn't make my argument scientific.

You can find all sorts of things if you cherry pick time intervals, especially with such noisy data as global temperature.

>Unfortunately the actual data hasn't aligned with the predicted output of the models for many years. This dataset is yet another example.

No it isn't. You are practicing pseudo science again. You have made no comparison between the temperature data and the models, and no argument as to why a system as complex as global climate should be stable enough for direct correlations with models over relatively short time spans.
