When I ride my bicycle from an open space trail to the Safeway parking lot less than 100 yards away, I frequently see 5-10 degrees difference in temperature. Asphalt and snow removal make huge differences. The USHCN UHI adjustment is … Continue reading →

Ignoring a host  of other issues about TOBS, according to USHCN V2 docs the USHCN V2 TOBS adjustment is supposed to look like this – positive since 1980, and slightly negative prior to that. This is somewhat similar to V1 … Continue reading →

U.S. Data Since 1895 Fail To Show Warming Trend By PHILIP SHABECOFF, Special to the New York Times Published: January 26, 1989 After examining climate data extending back nearly 100 years, a team of Government scientists has concluded that there … Continue reading →

I spent the evening comparing USHCN V1 and V2 graphs, and discovered a huge discrepancy between their V1 and V2 adjustments. This is their current US graph. Note that there is a discontinuity at 1998, which doesn’t look right. Globally, … Continue reading →

Record temperatures can’t be explained by TOBS, homogenization, or any of their other fake adjustments. The vast majority of all-time record maximum temperatures were set before 1960, and never matched again.

The USHCN V2 docs say that they did not change the TOBS adjustment from V1. Given these verifications,  the Karl et al. (1986) TOB   adjustment procedure was used in HCN version 2  without modification ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2/monthly/menne-etal2009.pdf The V1 docs show … Continue reading →

The New York Times said in 2000 that the North Pole was ice-free for the first time in 50 million years Ages-Old Icecap at North Pole Is Now Liquid, Scientists Find – New York Times They also reported that it … Continue reading →

NOAA claims that the raw US minimum temperature trend from 1895-2007 is 0.054/C per decade ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2/monthly/menne-etal2009.pdf This is complete BS. The actual 1895-2007 raw minimum trend is 0.020/C per decade. Whatever they are using for “raw” is not the raw … Continue reading →
