NASA is advertising Ed Hawkins Climate Spiral, the art of climate propaganda uses cherry picking intervals and scaling and some nice bright angry reds to make climate change look scary.
Watch the Global Temperature Spiral spiral out of control in New Climate Change Animation
CARLY CASSELLA MARCH 16, 2022
Climate change is spiraling out of control and it has never been more conspicuous.
A winding coil of global temperature extending from 1880 to 2021 is in fact a major threat.
Animations based on data from NASA’s GISS surface temperature analysis and designed by climate scientist Ed Hawkins, who is known for combining original climate stripe.

Here is the latest Hawkins spiral on Youtube;
WUWT’s critique of the original Hawkins spiral was available here.
A short period of time is a gift. If you look at a longer time period, like 10,000 years ago or so, the spiral looks very different. I created this chart in 2016, in response to the original Hawkins spiral.
My GISP2 Spiral Graph also has the same scale and interval errors as Hawkins’ spiral cherry, and from memory I messed up my dates a bit. But I think it’s funny to show two spirals side by side, to demonstrate how a visual representation of climate data can be easily manipulated to give the impression of two completely opposite scenarios. opposite.
What can I say – if NASA is dusting off a piece of propaganda as old as the Ed Hawkins climate spiral, they must be really desperate.
