FFS I thought we'd got away from morons quoting untrained idiots using cretinous research to support the soundbites they come out with at Heartland Institute events?

You stupid old coffin dodger, it was bullshit last time, why do you think repeating it makes you look less of a fucking fool?

James Taylor wrote an article in Forbes claiming that 2015 was not the hottest year on record: [6]

“Forget what global warming activists would lead you to believe – 2015 was not even close to the hottest year on record.

Satellite temperature readings going back to 1979 show 1998 was by far the warmest year in the satellite era, followed by 2010. 2015 comes in third. And these results are only for the period since 1979.” [6]

Slate magazine wrote a counter article, noting that “far and away, without question, and where it counts, 2015 was the hottest year on record.” The magazine explains: [18]

“So how can Taylor make this claim? Well, as usual, it’s to cherry-pick a very, very specific set of circumstances: Satellite measurements of a single layer of the atmosphere. As I (and many others) have shown, these satellite measurements are not terribly reliable over the long term, and are nowhere near as accurate as temperatures measured from the ground using thermometers.

Despite this, Taylor states, 'By contrast, temperature measurements at the Earth’s surface are less reliable,' which is just flatly wrong. Seriously. It’s just complete fertilizer.”
