On Aug. 28, 2007, the National Oceanographic Atmospheric
Administration’s Climatic Data Center reported that 2006 ranked as the second
warmest year after recalculating the data. Also, the report claimed that
warming activities were over half a result of human activity.
A report released in February by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), concluded that 2006 had been the fifth warmest year on record (www.giss.nasa.gov/research/news/20070208).
While there is a graph on the GISS home page that demonstrates a clear rapid warming trend since the 1990s, there also is a report from GISS scientists (http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abstracts/2001/Hansen_etal.html) that describe errors in the data used to make that graph. That report shows a much flatter graph of the temperatures when the corrections are applied. The data show 1934 to be the hottest year on record.
