NOAA Data Shows No Global Warming for 58 Years

This story illustrates the maxim that what is not said can be more important than what is said. From Watts Up With That:

In their “hottest year ever” press briefing, NOAA included this graph, which stated that they have a 58 year long radiosonde temperature record. But they only showed the last 37 years in the graph. 

Here is why they are hiding the rest of the data. The earlier data showed as much pre-1979 cooling as the post-1979 warming. 

I combined the two graphs at the same scale below, and put a horizontal red reference line in, which shows that the earth’s atmosphere has not warmed at all since the late 1950’s.
