"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. The effect of the correction on global temperatures is minor (some 1-2%
less warming than originally thought), but the effect on the U.S. global warming
propaganda machine could be huge."
While there is other data that supports the global warming theory, this is one of the keystones of the debate and seeing this fall makes it harder to support. If we lived in a society that was based on science and logic, this date would mean a new discussion about global warming. However we live in a culture based on religion, this isn't going to effect most people one way or the other.
