The Bathurst, NSW gaol kept temperature records from 1858 to 1983. Temperatures declined steadily during that period, as did the frequency of 100 degree days – which used to be quite common.

Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I don’t imagine old thermometers are popular items among the ‘elite’ halls of academia.
But, but… Those figures can’t be accurate, because they are based on measurements from mercury thermometers and not abstract modeling! You could at least used tree rings to give a little wiggle room in the figures.
Although I find tree rings a bit dubious, I do find this paper on the bloom date for Kyoto cherry blossoms ( which have been tracked since the 9th century) pretty interesting. Note that it was written in 2008, so the paper is a bit dated in looking at the immediate declining trend.

HMMMMmmmm …A 15 year delay…. The Notch-Delay Solar Theory
Or use the search on http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/ for joc.1594.
And yes, a darn good correlation to Dr. Evans’ The Notch-Delay Solar Theory
Are you going to believe in primative thermometers read by even more primative humans or the wonderful models produced by leading climate scientists and computers that can do trillions of calculations in a second? I would go with the primative humans every time!
How does the Bathurst temperature record compare to that of Sydney? It would be interesting to see how much UHI and fiddling has affected the “official” temperature record.
The Sydney Observatory shows steady warming since 1860. Probably due to UHI
Correct. Sydney Observatory is one of the worst examples of UHI-contamination in the entire world:

Not to mention that the really hot days in Sydney are caused by westerly winds, and the whole of the area to the west of Sydney used to be farmland, and is now almost totally suburbia.
It would also be interestiing to search out the Bathurst weather station, look at its providence.
How much has it been affected by UHI, yet still shows cooling
Thats why ONLY rural records should be used to estimate global averages (surface anyway)
The problem is the definition of “rural” As in all Progressive definitions the word meaning morphs to fit the PC agenda.
OT but snowing like crazy at Fernie Alpine resort … webcam here http://www.skifernie.com/conditions/mountain-cam-detail.aspx?image=2
This is obviously the result of GLO-BULL warming and children just won’t know what this think of the past is /sarc/
I’m thinking that tomorrow, when we look west from Calgary the mountains will be white….of course that will be adjusted…
A tad cool around my neck of the woods. Where is spring?… please !!
Bring on Summer, bring on the warming ! 🙂
