Hadley-Crut graph shows temperature trending DOWN
Like your IQ and grasp on reality...
NO Most likely they are NOW including 12.5% of the earth's land mass i.e.... Siberia!
One of major criticism has been the exclusion over 50 years of data from 12.5% of the world's land mass.
Those readings were for Siberia and when added to the other readings would have
diminished the premise that the earth's temperature was rising.
"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 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 stationsÂ…
The scale of global warming was exaggerated due to temperature distortions
for Russia accounting for 12.5% of the worldÂ’s land mass.
The IEA said it was necessary to recalculate all global-temperature data in order
to assess the scale of such exaggeration.
