Due diligence, climate science style...
Climate Scientists at the National Climate Data Center noticed an anomaly in the temperature record of the Durham, New Hampshire temperature station (USHCN # 272174). When compared to the local Climate Reference Network station, scientists observed that during the summer, Durham was over 1 degree warmer. During the winter, it was slightly cooler.The climate scientist was baffled. After viewing the station metadata and discovering no documented station changes, he quickly assumed that the equipment at Durham was faulty. That’s where this part of the story ends.
this is government, right?

Tax cut. Now please.
Posted by: The Phantom at July 23, 2008 2:10 PM Interesting 'fluff' article from the Miami Herald commenting on global warming/cooling with Penn & Teller's take on the issue to be featured in their show.
One allegation in the article relates to Al Gore and the carbon-credit industry.
Quote from the article relating to the huge electricity costs of his home- " Unabashed, Gore explained that he was ''offsetting'' his electric gluttony by buying carbon credits -- that it, putting money into green projects, would save as much energy as his home wasted.
Looking a little more closely into it, Bull----! points out that Gore was actually purchasing those carbon credits from . . . himself."

Posted by: Dustoff at July 23, 2008 3:20 PMwhere's john cross???
we need his never ending blather to explain why THIS station's data is still relevant
I came across a Blog called
Anti Green Or Greenie Watch .... seems to be solid founded in real scientific principle and focussed on illuminating the garbage being bandied about by warmists.
Can you imagine the same kind of lunacy repeated hundreds of times a day with some costs running into the millions? Is it any wonder we are circling the drain?

The good folks down under poke fun at PM Rudd's "Emissions Trading" scheme to save the nation from global warming

Show us the evidence! We're waiting...
Posted by: shaken at July 23, 2008 6:00 PMron in kelowna....Bwhahahahahaha....thanks for the laugh. Great way to start a night shift. Oh. Did I mention that since starting nights this week,I noticed the temp seems to be cooler at 2 AM than at 4PM? So is the warming only happening during the day? Where do I sign up for my not-so nobel prize and/or research bucks??
Posted by: Justthinkin at July 23, 2008 6:48 PMGood scientists are sceptical of their own work - always looking for problems with their experiments, always looking for holes in their theories, always testing their results.
Incompetents do get "interesting" results, which survive until the next incompetent gets different results.
I wonder what % of stations have such bad placement?
They could have moved the ac over a window or 2.
In other news in 1 week the north pole is supposed to be free of ice well there was a 50-50 chance.
50-50, that sounds more like gambling than science.
Posted by: dinosaur at July 24, 2008 9:37 AMDinosaur, 89% of the stations yet surveyed are poorly placed. A statistical analysis of the remaining stations shows them to be warmer, so the worst is yet to come.
