Fact – No Warming in the United States Since 2005

“There has been no warming in the United States since at least 2005, according to updated data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),” says this article by James Taylor.

Here are some excerpts:

23 Aug 2019 – “Climate Alarmists Foiled: No U.S. Warming Since 2005,” reads the headline.

“In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN). USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development impacts that might artificially taint temperature readings.

Temperature readings from 2005 (far left) to the present (far right) show absolutely no warming. NOAA USCRN; Watts

With most preexisting temperature stations located in or near urban settings that are subject to false temperature signals and create their own microclimates that change over time, government officials performed many often-controversial adjustments to the raw temperature data. Skeptics of an asserted climate crisis pointed out that most of the reported warming in the United States was non-existent in the raw temperature data, but was added to the record by government officials. (Emphasis added)

Strikingly, as shown in the graph above, USCRN temperature stations show no warming since 2005 when the network went online. If anything, U.S. temperatures are now slightly cooler than they were 14 years ago. (Emphasis added)

There is also good reason to believe U.S. temperatures have not warmed at all since the 1930s. (Emphasis added) Raw temperature readings at the preexisting stations indicate temperatures are the same now as 80 years ago. All of the asserted U.S. warming since 1930 is the product of the controversial adjustments made to the raw data. Skeptics point out that as the American population has grown, so has the artificial warming signal generated by growing cities, more asphalt, more automobiles, and more machinery.
