   again….

   Since they can’t hype warming, they are trying to hype “tied”….

   Tied means there has been no warming for the past 6 years.

     Yep, tied, as in not greater than, and only on one data set.

   In February 2011 the Illinois State Climatologists website showed state average temperature at 29.5F degrees .7F BELOW average. NCDC’s website states that for Illinois, “The average temperature in February 2011 was 30.3 F. This was 0.7 F warmer than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average,…”.

   Is Hansen adjusting NCDC data?

     NCDC “homogenizes” data before they give it to Hansen.

   Well there’s that, but more importantly …

   What portion of that fraction of a degree is man-made and unavoidable?

   For logic impaired green liberals, I am asking a simple question: what would be the temperature delta from 1890-2010 if homo sapiens had gone extinct 20 KYA and the planet were left to its own devices?

     We wouldn’t be here to know. The rest of the planets critters don’t care, they just get on with it. (they’re smarter than us)

     (that was a trick question right?)

   Berkeley and Koch. They found a team no one will believe even if their figures are correct.

   Willis has a good post one their proposed methodology @ WUWT……… sigh.

   Trenberth worries there will be an agenda? Like truth?

   And how does Thorne pretend to be a scientist? Claims “all the signs are there”, then lists things which aren’t happening?

   Any idiot knows you don’t set up a weather station surrounded by asphalt and concrete. I knew that when I got my first thermometer, at age 8.

     At some Universities they place their thermometers on the roof because there is not enough ground area to meet the requirements. Just place it in a shelter on top of a 4 story building with a white roof!
