1. Now if only reality played a part in any discussions.

2. And it’s not just the siting/land use. There’s completely new technology in many of these stations that measures temperatures with much smaller temporal resolution–instead of, for example, hourly observations, it’s effectively real-time, so a short-duration spike in temps (which one typically sees with influences such as reflections, vehicle emissions, etc.) will ‘register’ as the official high temperature. We didn’t have this ability 100 years ago. There are so many reasons that the long-term temperature record is nearly garbage, but the public has been brainwashed to ‘trust science’. Maddening.

   1. Indeed. Classic Apples vs Oranges comparison situation. The comparative data tell us very little, if anything about the trend.

3. now some needs to shove this data up algoreBULLshit’s rectum, till it comes out of his left nostril

4. the other issue, is that the nighttime lows are likely higher as well as the absorbed heat in the concrete and asphalt bleeds off

   1. Speaking of concrete.

      When these strategies are coupled with approaches to reduce cement-based emissions at the front end, concrete could be a net-positive material. “Indeed, if carbon capture and storage technology were applied to cement process emissions, the produced cements might represent a source of negative carbon-dioxide emissions,” the authors write in their report. If such practices became standard—a far-fetched notion although not inconceivable—concrete could be employed and even regarded as an ecological asset rather than a detrimental agent

5. The average global climate variations according to records are about 2 degrees C above and 2 degrees C below
   the baseline for the last 100 years. Or as we American say about 8 degrees peak to peak. The long-discredited
   hockey stick graph should look like a flat line with wiggles but no business end. Michael Mann got away with
   his fraud because his spreadsheet auto-scaled and he exaggerated the hell out of the last 50 years shown
   in the graph!
