Why We Need an Independent Global Climate Temperature Database

Given that governments are spending billions of taxpayer dollars on climate mitigation programs, doesn’t it make sense to get the most important thing – the actual temperature – as accurate as…

Legacy Electronics Botch Temperature Recordings Across Australia (Part 1)

The Bureau is yet to explain how long the minus 10.0C/10.4C limits was in place at those locations.

Urbanization Effects on GHCN Temperature Trends, Part II: Evidence that Homogenization Spuriously Warms Trends

Thus, it appears that NOAA’s homogenization procedure is spuriously warming station temperature trends (on average) when it should be cooling them. I don’t know how to conclude any different.

Tokyo Mean October Mean Temperature Has Been Falling for Decades

This October, according to the (untampered) data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the mean temperature in Tokyo came in at 17.2°C, making it it one of the coolest over…

De-Urbanization of Surface Temperatures with the Landsat-Based “Built-Up” Dataset

But given the fact that all CMIP6 climate models produce U.S. summer temperature trends greater than the NOAA observations means the discrepancy between climate models and observations is even larger than currently…

Uncertainty Of Measurement of Routine Temperatures–Part Three

Can one apply the Law of Large Numbers validly to data that are invented by people and that are not observations?

Uncertainty Estimates for Routine Temperature Data Sets Part Two.

In short, what is the proper magnitude of the uncertainty associated with such routine daily temperature measurements?

An Examination of Two of The Changes to Raw Data That Are Included in the ACORN-SAT 2.2 Darwin Maximum Temperature Reconstruction. 

There appears to be no valid reason to lower Darwin maximums by 0.67C for all years prior to 1980 all the way back to the start of the record in…

Satellite and Surface Temperatures

By Andy May In the Great Climate Change Debate between Professor David Karoly and Professor Will Happer, Glenn Tamblyn was called upon to finish the consensus side of the debate…

Statistical Analysis Can Provide Evidence That the Official Australian Acornsat 2.1 Temperature Analysis Has Added Non-Climatic Warming to The Record, 1910 To 2019.

“It is almost certain that the corrections are adding significant non-climatic warming to the raw data”.

Climate Alarmists Conceal Global Temperature Anomaly Measurement Declines Despite Increasing Atmospheric CO2

The failed debacle of the last COP26 climate alarmist confab seems clearly appropriate based upon these latest global temperature anomaly measurement results.

Social Cost (Benefit) of Carbon Dioxide from FUND with Corrected Temperatures, Energy and CO2 Fertilization

Dr. Pat Michaels wrote “By including the results of IAMs that do not include known processes that have a significant impact on the end product must disqualify them from contributing…

Urban Heat Island Effects on U.S. Temperature Trends, 1973-2020: USHCN vs. Hourly Weather Stations

I argue that, based upon the importance of quality temperature trend calculations to national energy policy, a new dataset not dependent upon the USHCN Tmax/Tmin observations is required.

The U.S. National Temperature Index, is it based on data? Or corrections?

By Andy May The United States has a very dense population of weather stations, data from them is collected and processed by NOAA/NCEI to compute the National Temperature Index. The…

The Rise and Fall of Central England Temperatures; Part 3 2000-2019

Guest post by Tony Brown This is the third examination of Central England Temperatures (CET) in a series that commenced in 2015 and which has charted the recent decline in…

Warming Temperature Measurements Polluted by Bad Data, Research Confirms

By H. Sterling Burnett For years, I have written about the poor quality control exercised by government entities promoting the theory human fossil fuel use is causing dangerous climate change.…

DARWIN TEMPERATURES: UNSCRAMBLING THE ACORN SAT 2 SERIES

Australia Surface Temperatures Compared to UAH Satellite Data Over the Last 40 Years

Reposted from Dr. Roy Spencer’s Blog April 3rd, 2019 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. Summary: The monthly anomalies in Australia-average surface versus satellite deep-layer lower-tropospheric temperatures correlate at 0.70…

Darwin Temperatures; What is going on?

By Bob Irvine Darwin Australia is one of only two temperature stations in an entire NASA grid and, therefore, has a disproportionate influence on the NASA-GISS global temperature reconstruction. The…
