Would you continue to maintain a climate record?

[ScienceRocks]

Would you continue to maintain the climate record for the US and the world? Lets say you became president would you continue the temperature,record through the giss and noaa.

You of course could demand accountability and stop what ever fraud you feel that is going on within the field.

I without question would continue it and demand the highest level of accountability.

1. I would stop all adjustments. Period!

2. The record would be left as is, without adjustments, and notations of each change made to the site so that researchers could make intelligent decisions on how best to manage the changes.

The data must be left alone and accessible to all.

What we have right now is crap.. There have been so many adjustments that all go positive, that even the random distribution of chance has been blown away.

So... you would assume that all instruments and processes ever used to collect temperature data were perfect. But, in number two you say that researchers could "manage the changes". Do you have adjustments or not? And wouldn't this be the same researchers who are managing the data now?

Feds: Because of Climate Change ‘We Will Have to Say Goodbye’ to Lady Liberty
October 7, 2016 – The Department of Interior’s blog stated Thursday that the biggest threat to seven of the most iconic landmarks in the United States is climate change.

“Climate change is the biggest threat to our national parks,” the blog stated. “It’s not just a future threat -- we’re seeing the impacts right now at national parks and other public lands across the country. “We must #ActOnClimate to ensure that current and future generations can enjoy America’s most treasured places,” the blog stated. “If we don’t, we will have to say goodbye to these iconic views.” Here are the seven places the federal government said are in danger of extinction because of climate change:

• The wildflowers of Shenandoah in Virginia are threatened because spring is coming earlier in three-quarters of national parks, according to a study funded by the federal government. “In Shenandoah, an earlier spring is giving invasive plants a head start, and they’re displacing native wildflowers, leading to costly management issues. In Acadia, it’s not just the flowers but also bird migration that’s being impacted by earlier springs.”

• The trees of Joshua Tree National Park in California: “It’s said that Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax was inspired by Joshua trees. Now life is imitating art, but this time the trees are threatened by climate change.” It predicted that because of rising temperatures, “the trees will be unable to persist much longer within Joshua Tree National Park. Soon, Joshua trees may no longer be found in the park bearing their name.”

• Glacier National Park’s “namesake” is threatened, the blog stated. “Scientists predict the glaciers in Glacier will be completely gone by the year 2030.”

• “The Statue of Liberty as we know it,” is threatened by climate change, the blog stated. “One of the most recognizable statues in the world could someday be underwater. Sea-level rise and an increase in storm surges are putting the Statue of Liberty at risk.”

• Virgin Islands National Park is facing rising sea levels, warmer ocean temperatures and coral reefs are being bleached from acidic water, caused by “increased carbon dioxide levels,” the blog stated.

• A photograph of bison plowing through snow at Yellowstone National Park may become a thing of the past, the blog stated. “Average temperatures are now higher than they were 50 years ago, and the park sees 30 fewer days of snow on the ground a year. Snow totals and the timing of snowmelt affect the rivers and streams of the park, which in turn impact plants and the movement of wildlife like the park’s bison and cutthroat trout.”

• Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado features ancient cliff dwellings, but “higher temperatures and earlier snowmelt” can lead to fires that threaten the dwellings, which, according to the National Park Service, are “some of the most notable and best preserved in the North American Continent.”

Far better than assuming that they are all broken and require wholesale manipulation and adjustment. A record as corrupted and manipulated as the one that exists now is worse than useless.

you do know the president doesn't keep climate records and can't tell anyone else they whether they can or can't don't you?

The Wooly Worm (caterpillar) appears in the fall and is an ancient predictor on how cold the coming winter will be. A Wooly Worm has three fuzzy bands, black on the ends and brown in the middle. Wide black bands and a short brown band means a cold winter. A wide brown band means a mild winter. Somebody needs to be doing ancient indian caterpillar research other than me.

Granny says an all black Wooly Worm...

... means a winter...

... colder n' a well digger's butt.

Colder than a well diggers ass is an old saying up here.

No... no, I think you've got more than enough grip on the topic for the rest of us.
