Especially when it's also 6 feet from a paved highway, or 5 feet from a vent discharge.
Talk to the geniuses who sited the sensors...
Well, if they are shameless enough to measure carbon dioxide on the summit of an active volcano, any other stunt to show “warming” is certainly not off-limits.
AGW theory predicts the troposphere warming more than the surface. If the opposite is happening then conventional AGW is falsified by the scientific method. Of course nothing can falsify AGW so there is that.
Or over Algores house...
Scientists lie, for reasons that have everything that has to do with the grant money that is sent their way by governments who want reports that support their political agenda.
Ground measurements have been problematic for hundreds of years for reasons that are well laid out in a paper, Watts et. al. 2012 that can be found on the Watts Up With That? website. Scientists routinely adjust the ground measurement and in the past fifty years they have been invariably adjusted upward. Ever wondered why we don't know what the temperature of the North Pole is from day to day. We have no ground measuring statement because the North Pole is covered with moving ice. We have very few ground measurements from the North Pole region north of 90 degrees N latitude. Etc, etc. Don't believe what scientists and the AP tell you. The satellite measurements are much more accurate, but they have a much shorter record compared with the ground record. That record doesn't support the political narrative either which is why it is discredited by nonsense pieces like this one. Most people figured this out long ago, but the politicians cling to it because money is involved, lots of money.
At least they are toning down the rhetoric. They are calling the climate change non-believers doubters instead of deniers.
That is a pretty stupid thing for a SCIENTIST to say. "I only care about the less than 10% of the Earth's surface inhabited by humans."
Meanwhile their ground sensors are primarily located in urban heat islands where the temperatures are artificially elevated by pavement and buildings and natural air currents are disturbed by buildings.
Any scientist should be grateful to get as many data points as possible from as wide a variety sources as possible.
So much for “average global temperature” in that case, which they love to tout.
Algore really looks bloated.
When it comes to so-called global warming, the temperature is always 98.6 - since the exponents of this nonsense all have their heads stuck up their *sses.
That’s why they do it. And then they have the nerve to claim they have an “average global temperature” reading.
Many data colection points were units placed next to heating exhaust vents. From the stories posted here over the years, some even had pictures showing it.

Not if it proves them wrong and they lose a lucrative grant funding source...:^)
I know this is missing all the fun, but, where you put it isn’t nearly so important as who’s reading it. When the it’s NASA Pro-CAGW religious fanatics reading it, the thermometer only reads what they want it to read.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
!!!
ROFL
Oh yeah... the heat is HIDING! BAHHAHAHAHA
The assumption is NEVER hm... the satellite data does not back up what we are seeing on the ground.. maybe our ground data is faulty or compromised in some way. NOPE, the assumption is ALWAYS the ground data is right, and something ELSE must be going on!
I can tell these global-warming believers where they can stick their thermometers.
Ah yes, heat energy is sapient and “hiding”, in defiance of the laws of thermodynamics. That always is a good one; really scientific.
And the most important metric, energy content of the deep ocean reservoir, is not even counted. DC may learn this weekend what the price of being wrong costs.
