Dr. Roy Spencer: Our Urban Heat Island Paper Has Been Published

To quickly summarize, we used the average temperature differences between nearby GHCN stations and related those to population density (PD) differences between stations. Why population density? Well, PD datasets are…

The Greatest Scientific Fraud of All Time — Part XXXIII

If the NOAA data adjustments cannot be tied to specific metadata like station moves or instrumentation changes, then they are not really scientific “data,” but rather just opinions of people…

NOAA’s Homogenized Temperature Records: A Statistical House of Cards?

If NOAA’s temperature records are truly the best we have, they should be robust, reproducible, and verifiable. Instead, this study suggests they are a moving target, adjusted differently depending on…

Urban Heat Island Effects Have Not Yet Been Removed from Official GHCN Warming Trends

These results suggest there is now additional reason to distrust the official temperature trends reported for U.S. weather stations. They are, on average, too warm. By how much? That remains…

Urbanization Effects on GHCN Temperature Trends, Part IV: UHI Effects on Tmax and Tmin

The nonlinearity of the relationship is, as other investigators have found, very strong.

Urbanization Effects on GHCN Temperature Trends, Part I: The Urbanization Characteristics of the GHCN Stations

I’m convinced that there is spurious warming remaining in the GHCN-based temperature data. The only question is, how much?

Surface Temperature Response to Solar EMR at Top of the Atmosphere

It has been demonstrated that land and ocean surface temperature are highly correlated to solar EMR in mid and higher latitudes; making due allowance for different thermal inertia of land…

‘Hidden’ NOAA temperature data reveals that 6 of the last 9 months were below normal in the USA – and NOAA can’t even get June right

A review of state-of-the-art climate data tells a different story than what NOAA tells the public. While media outlets scream “hottest ever” for the world in June and July (it’s…

Roy Spencer's ISH population adjusted discoveries

Readers recall that I carried a guest post from Dr. Roy Spencer on what he learned from analysing the CRUTem3 data: Spencer shows compelling evidence of UHI in CRUTem3 data.…

Another GISS miss: warming in the Arctic – the adjustments are key

GHCN Temperature Adjustments Affect 40% Of The Arctic By Paul Homewood                          Before                                                           After There has been much discussion recently about temperature adjustments made by GHCN in Iceland and Greenland, which…

An Open Letter to Dr. Phil Jones of the UEA CRU

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Dear Dr. Jones: You and I have been interacting, albeit at a distance, since I first asked you for your data some five years ago.…

3% of Earth's landmass is now urbanized

This study, from 2005, is not one I’ve covered here before, but I thought it was relevant to have a look at as a logical followup to the recent announcement…
