All that's left to do is to find a photo with a couple of Beavis and Butthead type guys standing beside one of those things waving lighters underneath it. Great stuff.

...you mean, those things aren't bird houses???

The people who erected them may have been birds of a sort: moonbats.

This just keeps getting better.

I know anecdotes are no substitute for data, but geez - Friday night it was 11 degrees C in Toronto in the middle of August! On the news, I heard that there were frost warnings in Manitoba.

And, while reading about NASA's volte face on temperature data, I read an AGW apologist notes that all the assumptions and adjustments regarding the effects of urban heat islands, etc., are listed on NASA's site. Now, the key word to me is "assumptions" - these almost always reflect the scientists' bias (after all, if they could be proven, they wouldn't be assumptions, would they?). So, if the scientist assumes that urban heat islands overstate global heating by, say 0.5 degree C than say 1 degree C, then bingo - you have a scenario that supports global warming in one case, and one that doesn't in the other.

Eh, nobody cares about Wilbur. It's in the middle of a desert anyway. A location like that (hey, shade) would probably make it look like global cooling is occurring, haha.

Interestingly, that whole half of the state is the conservative half. It'd be more interesting to see the stations on the hippie, I mean west side of the mountains.

nature restored.

anyone have a copy of farmers almanac? Be curious what the prediction were for each region last year and what they are this year.

Yes it is like mid Sept in Toronto right now, but it will warm up this week.

In other words, it is all normal as weather bounces around the mean temp year over year

It's apparent when this temp system was set up they weren't very serious about the data it produced.

"It sounds counterintuitive, but burning oil and planting forests to compensate is more environmentally friendly than burning biofuel. So say scientists who have calculated the difference in net emissions between using land to produce biofuel and the alternative: fuelling cars with gasoline and replanting forests on the land instead."

Wilbur is a very nice little town surrounded by wheat country in Lincoln County. Whomever the private citizen is who's taking federal money to operate that weather thingee is having a great time ripping them off. In this part of Washington (east of the Cascades) fooling the feds is a cottage industry.

How about one of those right above a bunch of envromentalists wackos blabbering about this GLOBAL WARMING poppycock

The aircon is south of the MMTS. Obviously the wind in this area blows from the north, or they would have installed this device where they did.

Sheesh.

Actually, the wind in eastern Washington mostly comes out of the SW during the winter, bringing the moisture. The NW wind brings clearer, colder weather during the winter. An east wind during winter primarily happens when the coldest air from the Great Plains spills over the Rockies. During spring and summer the winds can come from anywhere at any time, but usually it's from SW to NW.

D'oh!

Pesky shrinking arctic sea ice! Do you know how hard it is to continue believing that global warming is a crock when you get smaller and smaller every year?

Or wait... maybe it's that ultra-leftwing rag run by the homosexuals at the National Post.

And yet, thermometer beside air conditioner John.

Sory tomax & but theres no entrence holes us birds always want entrence holes on our bird houses SQUAWK SQUAWK
