Never before published paper on UHI and siting – Goodridge 1987
Plus answers to yesterday’s Fun puzzle: Name these official stations. Given that California Governor Jerry Brown has recently setup a website at the governor’s office basically telling skeptics to “shut…
Little Ice Age Thermometers- Historic variations in temperatures Part 3 -BEST confirms extended period of warming.
Guest post by Tony Brown This short paper is a preliminary examination of BEST data to 1753, as compared to the Central England Temperature Record (CET) to 1660 (instrumental record)…
Important New Paper on the Nocturnal Boundary Layer, Mixing, and Radiative Forcing as it applies to GHCN weather stations
From Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. comes word of an important new paper that shows how the air near the ground (boundary layer) is highly affected by sensitive nighttime dynamics, which…
The folly of blaming the Eastern U.S. heat wave on global warming
A picture is worth a thousand words:
Impact on temperature measurement: Cities expand by area equal to France, Germany and Spain combined in less than 20 years
Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. points out on his weblog this interesting press release from IGBP (from March 2012) that we all apparently missed until now. One of the points worth…
The UHI's of Texas are upon you
Joe D’Aleo suggested earlier today that I take a look at some of the data from NCDC’s web page called “US climate at a glance“. This page allows comparisons of…
Flim Flam Flannery's Fecklessness Foiled
UPDATE: Veteran Australian cartoonist Pickering weighs in, see below. (h/t to Dale Stiller) There’s yet another scare coming from Australia’s Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery hot of the heels of his…
Has the CRUTEM4 Data been fiddled with?
Guest post by Ed Thurstan Abstract It is apparent from the data that CRUTEM4 temperatures adjustments have, in part, been made with reference only to the earlier CRUTEM3 data, rather…
Warming in the USHCN is mainly an artifact of adjustments
Dr. Roy Spencer proves what we have been saying for years, the USHCN (U.S. Historical Climatology Network) is a mess compounded by a bigger mess of adjustments. ============================================================== USHCN Surface…
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.…
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…
I'm not waiting by the phone for the Nobel committee to call
I was rather surprised to see this interview in Physics World with Dr. Richard Muller (h/t to Bishop Hill) with this praise. “If Watts hadn’t done his work, we would…
Spencer shows compelling evidence of UHI in CRUTem3 data
McKitrick & Michaels Were Right: More Evidence of Spurious Warming in the IPCC Surface Temperature Dataset Guest post by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. The supposed gold standard in surface…
City UHI makes spring bloom earlier
From the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, somebody finally gets it. We’ve changed our local climates significantly, and the plants have figured this out long ago. Mid-Atlantic suburbs…
New paper and stunning video from the Space Station – UHI much?
Professor Ross McKitrick has just released a new paper on UHI, after reading it, it reminds me of this video from the space station. Weather stations exist in the points…
UHI in South Korea – responsible for over half of the warming
This new study published in the Journal of Atmospheric Environment quantifies the different components of warming there, with UHI making up over half of the total warming: On average, the…
Why BEST Will Not Settle the Climate Debate
By S. Fred Singer (first published in American Thinker) Global warming has re-entered public consciousness in recent days, partly because of the buzz surrounding the release of warming results from…
A Considered Critique of Berkeley Temperature Series
Guest post by Jeff Id I will leave this alone for another week or two while I wait for a reply to my emails to the BEST group, but there…
Uh oh: It was the BEST of times, it was the worst of times
Alternate title: Something wonky this way comes I try to get away to work on my paper and the climate world explodes, pulling me back in. Strange things are happening…
What the BEST data actually says
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach My theory is that the BEST folks must have eaten at a Hollywood Chinese restaurant. You can tell because when you eat there, an hour…
BEST: What I agree with and what I disagree with – plus a call for additional transparency to prevent "pal" review
There’s lots of hay being made by the usual romminesque flaming bloggers, some news outlets and the like, over my disagreement with the way data was handled in one of…
