Recently wattsupwiththat<\/a> posted an article about the new surface station report. Surface stations are the instruments used to measure changes in the earth’s climate. They are what the climate change cabal uses to justify creating havoc in the American economy. The other reference for this article is the actual report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few pictures that illustrate the problem with some of the devices that are supposed to be tracking temperature change on the earth:<\/p>\n

This new report is a follow up to a March 2009 study, titled \u201cIs the U.S. Surface Temperature Record Reliable?<\/em>\u201d<\/a> which highlighted a subset of over 1,000 surveyed stations and found 89 percent of stations had heat-bias issues. In April and May 2022, The Heartland Institute\u2019s team of researchers visited many of the same temperature stations as in 2009, plus many not visited before. The new survey sampled 128 NOAA stations, and found the problem of heat-bias has only gotten worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe original 2009 surface stations project demonstrated conclusively that the federal government\u2019s surface temperature monitoring system was broken, with the vast majority of stations not meeting NOAA\u2019s own standards for trustworthiness and quality. Investigations by government watchdogs OIG<\/a> and GAO<\/a> confirmed the 2009 report findings,\u201d said H. Sterling Burnett<\/a>, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environment Policy at The Heartland Institute who surveyed NOAA surface stations himself this spring. \u201cThis new study is evidence of two things. First, the government is either inept or stubbornly refuses to learn from its mistakes for political reasons. Second, the government\u2019s official temperature record can\u2019t be trusted. It reflects a clear urban heat bias effect, not national temperature trends.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a lot of ways to manipulate numbers to prove a point. A good statistician can actually adjust numbers to prove almost anything. When you locate your climate measuring devices near heat sources, it’s a pretty good bet that you will statistically be able to show that the earth is warming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
