Regression Analysis for Article One from Elizabeth Lake, California
A regression analysis was performed for the Mean Annual Temperature (°C) and Annual Heat: Moisture Index from 1901-2012 in Elizabeth Lake, CA. These relationships are described in Figure 8 and Figure 9. In both cases there is an increase in the overall trend of temperature and drought validating the claims made in the article.
Regression Analysis for Article Two from North Pole, Alaska
A regression analysis was performed for the Mean Annual Temperature (°C), Number of Frost Free Days and Frost Free Period from 1901-2012 in North Pole, Alaska. These relationships are described in Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13 respectively. In each case, especially with respect to the Number of Frost Free Days, there is an overall increasing trend validating the claims made in the article.

Every article will be analyzed for corresponding climatic variables that best represent the content of the article and a regression analysis will be performed. The goal is to link every article with appropriate scientific data and determine if the data supports or refutes the article contents. It would be ideal to graphically represent the quantity of articles that are verified by the climatic variables and which are refuted. Furthermore, it would be interesting to graphically represent the number of verified articles based on their theme: for example, graph all temperature related articles based on their location that are supported by the time series of climatic data and those that are not.
