Why is NASA the official keeper of the temperature?
NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies offers data, as do several
other organizations. I use NASA's data because GISS corrects for UHI
using nighttime earth shine, artificial lighting, measured from
satellites. IMHO, this method is better than using census data to locate
urban areas.
That is a feeble way to adjust for UHI.
The ONLY way to adjust for UHI is to put a station in a rural area near to
the urban station to act as a control (being a sicnetist you wold know
this of course).
Mind you, one you have done that you might as well ignore the urban
station data since rural data is true surface temp.
And what happens when you do that? You get no warming trend. RURAL
STATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE SHOW NO OVERALL TEMPERATURE TREND.
Roger can't comprehend that bad data is worse than no data. Unless you're
trying to scare people, of course.
no data is dumb?
bad data is dumber?
so we have dumb and dumber.
