And Yet we’re going to spend trillions and lower our standard of living over a hoax!


Quote:
A study by meteorologist Anthony Watts found that almost 90 percent of the 1221 weather stations in the U.S. did not meet the National Weather Service’s setting standards, which requires that they be at least 100 feet from any artificial heat source or radiating surface.

Quote:
To develop reliable data, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) placed 114 state-of-the-art weather stations relatively evenly spaced about the lower 48 states. They were carefully sited to be away from urban areas, which are heat islands, airports, which can be affected by jet exhaust, etc.

The system became operative in 2005. Now, realclearenergy.com is reporting that there has been “no increase in average temperatures in the continental United States over the last 14 years”, as measured by these new stations. If anything, overall temperatures are slightly cooler than they were.

Exactly- which is why AGW is such a farce.


Rational science regarding temp measurements would use:


1. the same method of measuring temp
2. the same locations for measuring temp
3. would have a uniform distribution of temp monitoring sites
4. would exclude "urbanized" sites which would have artificially increased temps.

You can see some of the most egregious violators here. To deal with this defective information, climate scientists, have “adjusted” the data to solve this problem. Invariably, these adjustments have made earlier data show lower temperatures, and recent data show higher ones.

AGW is a scientific farce promoted for political and monetary gain at the expense of rational science.

The denialist movement is the religion.

The sad thing is they are denying science to protect the fossil fuel industry, which itself no longer denies the science.

You’re right Spock would evaluate the data scientifically and become a denier!
