Duh, everyone knew that years ago.
How did this administration ever let that report out?
It unsettles the settled science.
Heresy.
It took two government paid scientists to figure out that a thermometer above a concrete slab may not be completely accurate.
Now add in the fact we know they placed temp sensors in some very awful places, like next to heat exchangers and next to exhaust vents and such, and you can see how the “data” has been deliberately manipulated.
Just stand on asphalt in the summer
Captain Obvious.
There is NO positive correlation between education and common-sense (of course this has been known for EONS!)
Not only that, those blokes purposely put those sensors in unusually hot places.
It used to be adjusted for in the datasets.
everything the gubbint touches it wrecks
I believe there are many other factors as well...
One I recall right off the bat - there are standards for construction of a station, including what to paint it with.
The standard was oil-based paint, and the standard was changed at some point to latex paint. Turns out that change has a heat effect change as well... and, naturally, in the direction you’d expect if you wanted your stations to report higher temperatures over time. The phase-in of the paint change was gradual, as stations needed new coats of paint, or new stations get worked into the system, thus the overall increase in temperature was moderated (easier to hide, and portray as the glowbull warming they wanted).
I have always said, if you want a better pizza over, put in more stones....(chuckle)
Are they prepping for the needed “global cooling” findings?
It’s pretty obvious that whatever “global warming” we may be actually experiencing really comes from these concrete heat islands created by cities, large towns and highway systems - the so called “Smart Growth” the sophisticates like to push so that we can all live happily together within walking distance of all necessities to rid us of awful fossil-fueled vehicles - those of us living in the east watch the daily TV weather forecasts which always predict that temps in the regions of cities will be several degrees higher than those in the surrounding suburban and rural areas summer or winter - the real story of man made warming.....
Just like the old report said....
As long as there’s money in it, folks will keep on flogging this fictitious ‘global warming.’
Another fundamental fact people should remember is that the primary CO2 monitoring station is located in Hawaii near an active volcano that coincidentally began erupting right when the “global warming” phenomenon supposedly started happening. So all the data they are using is contaminated and has to be “adjusted.” Of course, you can then adjust it to get any conclusion you want.
