How can two stations less than 1/2 mile apart be so different? How can one set a new record and best it by two degrees while the other doesn’t? I…

Australia and ACORN-SAT
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach As Anthony discussed here, some Australian climate scientists think that there was an “angry summer” in 2012. Inspired by the necromantic incantations in support of…
The monthly report NOAA never produces – from the Climate Reference Network
Here is the latest monthly value from the state of the art Climate Reference Network, (CRN) which never seems to make it into NOAA’s monthly and yearly climate reports. But,…
Via experiment, NOAA establishes a fact about station siting: 'nighttime temperatures are indeed higher closer to the laboratory'
WUWT readers may recall that I wrote about this experiment being performed at Oak Ridge national Laboratory to test the issues related to station siting that I have long written…
Announcing the first ever CONUS yearly average temperature from the Climate Reference Network
UPDATE: NOAA plans to release SOTC at 1PM EST today. Look for updates soon and a special report on today’s release. The map below will automatically update when we have…
New national temperature resource almost ready
I had hoped to have this ready in time for heat wave season, as it would have been quite useful in July. Pursuant to my post about July average temperatures…
A new paper showing how UHI and energy consumption are linked to long-term temperature change in China
Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. highlighted this major new paper in JGR yesterday, I consider it important as it relates to the works I’m doing on station siting. The key points…
NOAA's 'Janus moment' – while claiming 'The American public can be confident in NOAA’s long-standing surface temperature record', they fund an experiment to investigate the effects of station siting and heat sinks/sources on temperature data
NOAA’s impersonation of the two faced god Janus just proved my point about station siting issues with their actions that speak louder than words. While there’s all this caterwauling about…
Sea Ice News – Volume 3 Number 11, part 2 – other sources show no record low Arctic ice extent
Earlier today in part1, I posted about the new record low claimed by NSIDC: Sea Ice News – Volume 3 Number 11, part 1 – new Arctic satellite extent record.…
An 'inconvenient result' – July 2012 not a record breaker according to data from the new NOAA/NCDC U.S. Climate Reference Network
I decided to do myself something that so far NOAA has refused to do: give a CONUS average temperature for the United States from the new ‘state of the art’…
An uncorrected assumption in BEST's station quality paper
I noted with a chuckle today, this statement over at the California Academy of Sciences “Climate Change Blog”: I think that we all need to be careful of not falling…
My response to NCDC's op-ed in the New York Times
Andrew Revkin asked me to provide comments on this article of his where the National Climatic Data Center was asked to respond to Watts et al 2012: A Closer Look…
New study shows half of the global warming in the USA is artificial
PRESS RELEASE – U.S. Temperature trends show a spurious doubling due to NOAA station siting problems and post measurement adjustments. Chico, CA July 29th, 2012 – 12 PM PDT –…
An update on my Climate Reference Network visualization project
Readers may recall that when Peter Gleick first sent out the stolen Heartland board documents and the fake document to give the story “legs”, there was a mention in there…
Heh.
From Tom Nelson Email 600, Sept 2007: Watts expose makes NOAA want to change entire USA method Email 600
New paper links cosmic rays, clouds, and temperature
This new paper shows what appears to be a link between Forbush descreases and terrestrial temperature change shortly afterwards. It is a short time scale demonstration of what Svensmark is…
The surfacestations paper – statistics primer
Fall et al. 2011: The Statistics By John Neilsen-Gammon (from his blog Climate Abyss – be sure to bookmark it, highly recommended – Anthony) As I mentioned in my last…
The long awaited surfacestations paper
This summary is from Dr. Pielke at the University of Colorado in his words. I’ll have my own post on some detail not covered here, with links to the SI…
