Once again, I come across and article that tends to show the AGCC Emperor has no clothes and, once again, I'll post it as chum over which the SpursTalk AGCC congregants can swarm...
IS THE UNITED STATES ACTUALLY GETTING WARMER?
After reading the blog post (and links), if you choose, I just have two simple questions for those who bow at the alter of the AGCC God:
1) Is this statement true, "Historically, five adjustments have been made [to the raw NOAA data that is the basis for graphing long-term temperature trends]; the only one that tended to reduce temperatures apparently has been eliminated?"
2) Is this statement true, "Not only does NOAA not correct for the well-recognized urban heat island effect, as I think it obviously should, it goes out of its way to re-introduce the heat island effect where better data are available!?"
In other words, are AGCC proponents fudging the data to meet their expectations or is this guy all wet? Please explain the flaw in his data and analysis.
Thank you.
