Read here. (h/t Tom Nelson) It's another case where "global" is not so global when it comes to warming. All scientists now concur with the empirical evidence that in the Southern Hemisphere, over the last 15 years, global warming has gone missing. Now a new analysis says it's been missing in New Zealand for the last 100 years.
Using robust, compliant statistical techniques, scientists analyzed the New Zealand temperature dataset. Their findings:
"When corrected with accepted scientific techniques, the official New Zealand Temperature Record (NZTR) shows that there has been no measurable change in mean temperatures during 1909-2009...“This study generally follows in the footsteps of NIWA’s NZTR Review, released last December, except in one vital aspect” said Coalition chairman, Barry Brill, “The difference is that we have scrupulously followed the statistical techniques described in the scientific literature, while NIWA did not.”...The historical data shows a warming rate of 0.29°C per century, while the corrected figure is 0.26°C per century. But both amounts are within the margins of error, and are effectively zero."
