a winter front is political? ... ok, how ?
why does it belong in this forum?
The last thread was moved so someone had to start another one. It just proves that for the deniers it isn't about the science, it's all about the politics. They couldn't care less about the scientific principles involved.
"Scientific principles" ... does that include using as a base point temperatures since when??
For example temperature reading stations have been around since..The longest-running temperature record is the
Central England temperature data series, that starts in 1659. The longest-running quasi-global record starts in 1850.

These readings have been done before satellites by humans reading in all sorts of environments mercury with the attempt to get a close to accurate as the eyeball can be...(remember the old thermometers before digital..how hard to read the differences between 80.2 degrees and 80.5 degrees?" Couldn't? RIGHT!
then we have this..
when "The number of [Siberian] stations increased from 8 in 1901 to 23 in 1951 and then decreased to 12 from 1989 to present only four (4) stations, those at Irkutsk, Bratsk, Chita and Kirensk, cover the entire 20th century.
IEA analysts say climatologists use the data of stations located in large populated centers that are influenced by the urban-warming effect more frequently than the correct data of remote stations…The scale of global warming was exaggerated due to temperature distortions for Russia accounting for 12.5% of the world’s land mass.
The IEA said it was necessary to recalculate all global-temperature data in order to assess the scale of such exaggeration.

So explain to me if 12.5% of the land mass' temperatures WERE NOT included, why wouldn't the temperatures be skewed higher?
So if temperature readings are biased as NOAA assessed when closing 600 weather stations amid criticism they're situated to report warming thanks to temperature readings from sweltering parking lots, airports and other locations that distort the true state of the climate.
Indeed, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has closed some 600 out of nearly 9,000 weather stations over the past two years that it has deemed problematic or unnecessary, after a long campaign by one critic highlighting the problem of using unreliable data.
The agency says the closures will help improve gathering of weather data, but critics like meterologist and blogger Anthony Watts say it is too little, too late.

But we have scientific consensus the temperature has risen..
There is little doubt that the Earth is heating up. In the last century the average temperature has climbed about 0.6 degrees Celsius (about 1 degree Fahrenheit) around the world.
1 degree!
