NASA has been caught falsifying global temperature data again. Amazingly enough, this error also made it appear that global temperatures are rising. Huh, seems like all the errors are only in one direction. Weird.
On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.
Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.
So it's not like they're arguing over "warmest" vs. "3rd warmest." So, how did this happen?
The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.
So, September was the warmest October ever, amazing! Most disturbingly:
last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.
Strangely enough:
The figures published by Dr Hansen's institute are not only one of the four data sets that the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) relies on to promote its case for global warming, but they are the most widely quoted, since they consistently show higher temperatures than the others.
This type of statistical blindness is evidence of either malicious intent, or rank incompetence and lazy fact checking from seeing exactly what you expect to see, and not questioning it.
Here are links to the blogs of the two scientists who are policing Hansen's stats.

Emulated storage works to express an actual file path against the symlink of your device’s storage. It can express both the internal memory and the external SD card. A symlink is used in computing to expressed to mean a symbolic link.
When you go to transfer your files from the pen drive to your Android device or move files from one type of storage to the other, you might see an emulated storage folder is being shown as the main folder.So, what is emulated storage in android?
You might be wondering what it is and why it is shown when it was supposed to show internal storage or external storage card name. Well, in this article, we are going to tell you more about this emulated storage and also what does different kinds of emulated storage mean on Android.
