Your author tells one obvious lie after another. If he said
these things in court he would face a perjery charge.

Every subset of the latest, 2004, USHCN data, raw,
time of observation corrected, UHI corrected,
calc mean, daily high, and daily low shows warming.

For example, the calc mean "3A" data show:
~Cooler Stations = 230 Warmer Stations = 991
661 one degree grid squares have at least one observation.
0.13156 F/Decade is the probability weighted mean temperature change.
603 one degree grid squares have at least a total of .7 confidence.
0.14296 F/Decade is their probability weighted mean temperature change.

Satelite data show warming too. Check this for yourself at:
