"Other scientists hit back at global warming sceptics by pointing out that the error applied to only 48 states of the US, with Alaska and Hawaii excluded, and was negligible in its impact.
Moreover, they argued, it had no impact at all on the rankings of the hottest years when looked at globally rather than in the US, which accounts for only 2 per cent of the Earth?s surface."
It is an error and they accept it.
Now just for consistency lets see if Monckton has made any errors ? Any takers ? Would they be considered minor errors or gross distortions ?
