Load this Google Earth GISS Station KLM file and see for your self:

Apparently building Socialism doesn’t require that you know the temperature or much of anything else.

See me posts at Climate Audit for more details:

although someone has blacked out the amazing lights from all those fishing boats off South Korea.

I love it!

REPLY: I don’t know for certain, since the picture has not date/timestamp but mid 90′s is likely.

Maybe Cedarville is teleconnected to N Korea?

One interesting check to do. We have CRN locations right?

See what nighlights says about them. also note the weird disconnect between
the brightness index and the Dark/dim/bright data feild… they mostly
track, but I think they come from different sources. They have to.

In his code ( I checked it) Hansen uses the dark/dim/bright data feild

Cedarville is thus an official mystery adjustment.

REPLY: I’ll look into this more.

You know you’re in the worst place on earth when Siberia has more lights than you.

I’ve read that the NoKos are now actually stupider from malnutrition during neurological development.
