Trash Science: Hayhoe teams up with Union of Concerned Scientists: ‘Experienced Hayhoe watchers will immediately be suspicious when they see 1970 used as base point for temp trends’
Hayhoe rebuked: '1970 was in the middle of a much colder interval, but the trend over the last 100 years shows only a minor increase of 0.07F/decade, nothing like the alarmist 0.50F/decade, which is used as proof of global warming. The trend since 1931 is much smaller still, amounting to just 0.02F/decade.-- Katharine's Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment–Part II
