NOAA Relies On ‘Compromised’ Thermometers That Inflate US Warming Trend (independent, education)

I never said I don't believe in global warming and yes, it is time to deal with it. But these is very little government money available for "dealing with it" so it gets very little attention.

Yes, Big Government is bad. Very bad.

That would be just as productive. AGW modeling is as stupid as dogs chasing cars and a lot more costly.

Then it's not scientific.

So you think we wouldn't be spending money studying our planets climate regardless?

Someone should stick a thermometer right in the South Pole.

If NOAA thermometers are designed to give false readings then my 3 home thermometers must be also compromised as they give the same readings as what the weatherman reports.Are you suggesting all the worlds thermometers are giving faulty readings? if so whats the reason for this grand deception?

I think we should always study our climate and the planets.

Your thermometers are accurate to within 1/100 degree?

Home thermometers are grossly inaccurate. If yours are accurate, you are fortunate. Usually you will get three different readings from three thermometers.

Good quality thermometers give accurate temperature readings but those temperatures can be greatly affected by their surroundings such as if they are near an asphalt road or a large building.
