IMO, every scrap of research and modeling thus far needs to be shitcanned. It's hopelessly flawed and distorted to fit the predetermined conclusion. Use data from EVERY temperature station, not just the ones in warm areas. Did you know there is only one station being used to represent all of Canada above the Arctic Circle? And it's in a warm spot.Goodness, you're just really not very smart.
I never said it was impossible that humans can alter the climate. I said AGW supporters have not proven their claim that we already have.
I believe I agreed with that line of reasoning, and agree with the the fact that it has not been fully substantiated. But what is your level of acceptable evidence? It would seem to me that you are nearly unwilling to accept such a reality should it be real.
For example, Canadas reporting stations dropped from 496 in 1989 to 44 in 1991, with the percentage of stations at lower elevations tripling while the numbers of those at higher elevations dropped to one. Thats right: As Smith wrote in his blog, they left one thermometer for everything north of LAT 65. And that one resides in a place called Eureka, which has been described as The Garden Spot of the Arctic due to its unusually moderate summers.There really can be no defense of this. It's simply bad science.
Smith also discovered that in California, only four stations remain one in San Francisco and three in Southern L.A. near the beach and he rightly observed that
It is certainly impossible to compare it with the past record that had thermometers in the snowy mountains. So we can have no idea if California is warming or cooling by looking at the USHCN data set or the GHCN data set.
Thats because the baseline temperatures to which current readings are compared were a true averaging of both warmer and cooler locations. And comparing these historic true averages to contemporary false averages which have had the lower end of their numbers intentionally stripped out will always yield a warming trend, even when temperatures have actually dropped.
Overall, U.S. online stations have dropped from a peak of 1,850 in 1963 to a low of 136 as of 2007. In his blog, Smith wittily observed that the Thermometer Langoliers have eaten 9/10 of the thermometers in the USA[,] including all the cold ones in California. But he was deadly serious after comparing current to previous versions of USHCN data and discovering that this selection bias creates a +0.6°C warming in U.S. temperature history.
Bulldoze the whole mess and start all over. And don't let any of the crooks currently involved anywhere near it.
LOL Daveyboy, you are one gullible fool.
