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.
Around 1990, while living in Tucson, I took to jogging and would regularly make the circle around Reid Field (an entire city block). At the corner of 22nd Street and South Alvernon Way is a trailer, which sits on top of a concrete pad, surrounded by six to eight feet of gravel, and then you the six-lane asphalt street which meets the other six-lane asphalt street.
The trailer? It’s a one of the climate stations.
I stopped one day and admired the heat conduction around this trailer. Then I looked at the trailer itself. On one side next to the sensors....was an air conditioner which likely ran 24x7. My humble guess is that if you added up the AC unit, the concrete pad, the asphalt...it was a minimum of four degrees hotter than it would be on Reid field itself.
It never made any sense to me. You could have moved it 200 ft over and put a cover over the trailer to keep the heat less and put the sensors on the other side of the trailer away from the AC unit. It was like...a 4th grader planned this and had no idea what they were doing.
Ten years later, I was somewhere in Las Vegas and noticed on the outskirts of town....another such trailer....same deal. Someone should just start a public database and we all spend some time taking pictures and documenting these across the nation. It’s an embarrassment that we allowed these idiots to feed false data continually....for decades....as ‘true’ info.
