Global Warming Is A Hoax.

But two aspects of this system for measuring surface temperatures have long been worrying a growing array of statisticians, meteorologists and expert science bloggers. One is that the supposedly worldwide network of stations from which GHCN draws its data is flawed. Up to 80 per cent or more of the Earth’s surface is not reliably covered at all. Furthermore, around 1990, the number of stations more than halved, from 12,000 to less than 6,000 – and most of those remaining are concentrated in urban areas or places where studies have shown that, thanks to the “urban heat island effect”, readings can be up to 2 degrees higher than in those rural areas where thousands of stations were lost.

To fill in the huge gaps, those compiling the records have resorted to computerised “infilling”, whereby the higher temperatures recorded by the remaining stations are projected out to vast surrounding areas (Giss allows single stations to give a reading covering 1.6 million square miles). This alone contributed to the sharp temperature rise shown in the years after 1990.

But still more worrying has been the evidence that even this data has then been subjected to continual “adjustments”, invariably in only one direction. Earlier temperatures are adjusted downwards, more recent temperatures upwards, thus giving the impression that they have risen much more sharply than was shown by the original data.

Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded.

Since Walking Dead resumes today necro bumping is acceptable?

Oh snap, I gotta get the DVR ready!

Here use dis



I actually still have a lot of stuff I recorded when I was little on vhs, but I don't have a device thingy to put them in. My mom wants to throw them away, but I forbid it! One day I'll be able to watch them!

It's called a VCR. They're all over the place in Eastern Europe for dirt cheap.

How long does it take to rewind a 2 hour VHS tape?

too long

A global warming thread that hasn't hit page nine. Seems like a sin.

A sin, you say? Throwing religion into the mix should get it to page 9 in no time.

I think we need another six years to discuss global warming.

(if the Earth is still around in six years...)

It's amazing to see how none of those posters are still here. Makes me wonder if there will be an entirely new group of P&R weirdos in 5 years.

/inb4 obligatory ffxi will be dead by then discussion

I sincerely miss Jaerik, his view on things was rather interesting.

disappear without notice

Thread needs more pro-Gorians.
