PBS airs special on green rooftops, cites NCDC's Thomas Peterson, who fumbles the UHI ball
From PBS last night: From Rooftop to Alleyway, Chicago Fights Extreme Urban Heat With Greener Ideas One of Chicago’s most beautiful and hidden gardens is located on top of City…
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…
Law of unintended consequences bites the 'white roof UHI solution' – causes reduced rainfall
From Arizona State University Researchers emphasize evaluation of tradeoffs in battling urban heat island Urbanization will increase average temperatures in Arizona’s Sun Corridor and white roofs can combat that, but…
Recent paper demonstrates relationship between temperature and population density in the UHI of New Delhi
This gives credence to Dr. Roy Spencer’s population adjusted ISH surface temperature data for the USA Impact of population density on the surface temperature and micro-climate of Delhi Javed Mallick1…
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…
