Garbage In, Garbage Out: 96% of NOAA Temperature Stations Fail ‘Uncorrupted Placement’ Standards
Breitbart.com ^ | July 29, 2022 | Penny Starr

A study that investigated the placement of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature stations found that 96 percent of the facilities used to measure heat failed to meet the agency’s own “uncorrupted placement” standards.

Research for the study shows the 96 percent corruption is because the stations’ measurements are tainted by the effects of urbanization – or heat produced because of their close proximity to asphalt, machinery, and other heat-producing, heat-trapping, or heat-accentuating objects.

The Heartland Institute compiled the report using satellite and in-person surveys of NOAA weather stations that contribute to the “official” land temperatures in the United States.

“With a 96 percent warm-bias in U.S. temperature measurements, it is impossible to use any statistical methods to derive an accurate climate trend for the U.S.” Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts, who directed the study, said is the study announcement distributed to the press. “Data from the stations that have not been corrupted by faulty placement show a rate of warming in the United States reduced by almost half compared to all stations.”

“NOAA’s ‘Requirements and Standards for [National Weather Service] Climate Observations‘ instructs that temperature data instruments must be “over level terrain (earth or sod) typical of the area around the station and at least 100 feet from any extensive concrete or paved surface,’” the press release said. “And that ‘all attempts will be made to avoid areas where rough terrain or air drainage are proven to result in non-representative temperature data.’

Seriously, 96% of their sensors are badly placed by their own standards?

I can’t attribute that to accident.
I can’t attribute that to incompetence.
I can’t attribute that to apathy.

96% is a figure that denotes concerted effort in my world.

The total percentage of CO2 in the planet's atmosphere is .04%

Man's contribution to that number is .05%, the remainng 95& comes from nature.....

Man's contribution is such an insignificant number that it's not even worthy of discussion.

But yet the climate alarmists have successfully convinced the global idiots that CO2 levels created by man are destroying the planet.

In the late 90s we had one cold winter and I told my daughter they must be measuring temps by the exhaust of an idling fire truck because my outdoor thermometer was 4 degrees colder.. every morning. Of course after the weather channel faked hurricane coverage who knows.
This summer, is hot like my childhood hot.
Not much wealth redistribution In truth and honest “science”.

Although the statistics weren't stated, the same message was said nearly 20 years ago. I believe a high school student had done some study and found a lot of the temperature stations - which had originally been placed in sparsely inhabited areas - were now located in asphalt (heat absorbing) islands. And other temperature stations were now located underneath an air conditioner exhaust (as the air conditioners hadn't been there when the temperature station was originally installed).

'Follow the science', but when the data is cooked (intentionally) - what is the point?
I'm glad someone has performed an actual study on this problem. Not that I expect to see it reported elsewhere. The West's 'leaders' are dead set in destroying our economy by pushing this Global Warming hysteria. It is just their tool to increase their power and turn the people into their chattel.

The station in our small town is at the airport near the fuel tank in the middle of a whole lot of hot concrete.

The one I watch is private nearby out in the country and it is just about as hot.

And wiki-pedia will put those ‘new, improved’ changes up and then lock the page. (Just as they did with the definition of recession a few days ago.) changing the meaning or words and standards, it’s what libtards/commies do!

Thanks for the Watts link. However, where I should see various graphs and text, each section is blank. Below each blank area, I can see the section title.
I’ll click around there and see what I can get...

It was published in the news in the 1980s that the city of Phoenix was relocating its official thermometer so that it could boast that it (not Tucson) was the hottest city in Arizona.

Whether this was part of this same cabal I couldn’t tell you but it stands to reason that, since then, a whole host of “Watermelons” have applied that same principle to their quest to convince us that Man-Made Global Warming is real.

It costs a lot of money to not only calibrate sensors but have a contract in place to routinely re-calibrate and check those sensors.

I used to work for a company that manufactured and installed flight information systems at airports. I observed the relocation of those sensor housings from proper locations to hot zones at several airports. My colleagues observed the same thing at additional airports.

This occurred in the 1989-1991 time frame.

“The high today will be 85 but with the heat index it will feel like 143.”

Oh yeah...according to whom?

Yes, I think it's broken links. Watts doesn't keep things very well maintained and there's of course the extra hurdle that the government bureaucrats want to make things difficult for him and people like him, so they will change their links a lot.
