Climate Science has a bad habit of not using outside expertise in areas such as statistics. Or bookkeeping, remember the Harry_read_me files from climategate?
Now you are dismissing a talented amateur who is pointing out simple discrepancies, backed up with publically available data. And trying to trash his reputation instead of evaluating the serious concerns he has brought to light.
The adjustments are roughly 3F for 70 years. The adjustments make up all of the claimed warming in the US.
The TOBS adjustment is supposedly less than 1F. UHI adjustments are net neutral. That leaves homogenization and infilling for the other 2F. Are you OK with that? I find it disturbing that the actual measured temperatures for individual stations show very little warming but the averaged, adjusted and homogenized readings for composite areas somehow show a large amount of warming for monthly and annual averages.
...because it just isn't science without the adjustments.
