Have you heard that NASA’s climate-change models and temperature charts have been revised due to various errors and ‘fudging’ of the data? It now looks as if 1998 was not the hottest year of the past century, nor was 2006 the runner-up. The hottest years were during the 1930s.
What do you make of that?
