http://www.norcalblogs.com/watts/weather_stations/ Some hippy tree hugger fuck putting burn barrels next to NOAA weather stations. And despite all this obvious fraud the best they can come up with is a degree in fifty years. on top of that the sensors are not accurate anyways. If you think I'm lying then go but 20 identical mercury thermometers. Place them at each corner of your House and yard then at the center of each out side wall then various places though the yard and see if there is any fluctuation in temperature. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/columnists/steigerwald/s_513013.html Helping along global warming By Bill Steigerwald TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, June 17, 2007 Remember in January when the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its good friends in media trumpeted that 2006 was the warmest year on record for the contiguous United States? NOAA based that finding - which allegedly capped a nine-year warming streak "unprecedented in the historical record" - on the daily temperature data that its National Climatic Data Center gathers from about 1,221 mostly rural weather observation stations around the country. Few people have ever seen or even heard of these small, simple-but-reliable weather stations, which quietly make up what NOAA calls its United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN). But the stations play an important role in detecting and analyzing regional climate change. More ominously, they provide the official baseline historical temperature data that politically motivated global-warming alarmists like James Hansen of NASA plug into their computer climate models to predict various apocalypses. NOAA says it uses these 1,221 weather stations -- which like the ones in Uniontown and New Castle are overseen by local National Weather Service offices and usually tended to by volunteers -- because they have been providing reliable temperature data since at least 1900. But Anthony Watts of Chico, Calif., suspects NOAA temperature readings are not all they're cracked up to be. As the former TV meteorologist explains on his sophisticated, newly hatched Web site surfacestations.org, he has set out to do what big-time armchair-climate modelers like Hansen and no one else has ever done - physically quality-check each weather station to see if it's being operated properly. To assure accuracy, stations (essentially older thermometers in little four-legged wooden sheds or digital thermometers mounted on poles) should be 100 feet from buildings, not placed on hot concrete, etc. But as photos on Watts' site show, the station in Forest Grove, Ore., stands 10 feet from an air-conditioning exhaust vent. In Roseburg, Ore., it's on a rooftop near an AC unit. In Tahoe, Calif., it's next to a drum where trash is burned. Watts, who says he's a man of facts and science, isn't jumping to any rash conclusions based on the 40-some weather stations his volunteers have checked so far. But he said Tuesday that what he's finding raises doubts about NOAA's past and current temperature reports. "I believe we will be able to demonstrate that some of the global warming increase is not from CO2 but from localized changes in the temperature-measurement environment." Meanwhile, you probably missed the latest about 2006. As NOAA reported on May 1 - with minimum mainstream-media fanfare - 2006 actually was the second- warmest year ever recorded in America, not the first. At an annual average of 54.9 degrees F, it was a whopping 0.08 degrees cooler than 1998, still the hottest year. NOAA explained that it had updated its 2006 report "to reflect revised statistics" and "better address uncertainties in the instrumental record." This tinkering is standard procedure. NOAA always scientifically tweaks temperature readings for various reasons -- weather stations are moved to different locations, modernized, affected by increased urbanization, etc. NOAA didn't say whether it had adjusted for uncertainties caused by nearby burn barrels.
Never mind global warming. Who in their right mind is in favor of more pollution. How about cancer and asthma, dirty water, grey skies, respiratory advisories advising people to stay in the house during summer months. I hate pollution. I hate litter. My goal in life is to own the most amount of pristine property free of pollution and liter preferably next to a really nice fishing river or lake where I can go to be in complete relaxation with no noise. Tree hugger my ass. Cleaning up the air using technology is an industry in of itself. So don't give me any shit about dragging down the economy.
no noise except the owls, crickets and frogs that is with swarms of lighting bugs. Kind of like my parents place on the river only their is too many loud fukn cigerette boats and rednecks fishing on my bank leaving their fucking litter.
Is that the Dix River? I thought I recognized it. Don't your parents live on the Dansagonnablowu fork? Man, that is a fine stretch of water. Everybody there owns a banjo.
See that's one thing about the south, we really dont notice global warming. Plus if the ice cap melts enough I will have ocean from property! I will be like Barry then....except with smaller boobs. ;D
Actually it is the green river one of the most navigatable, widest, and deepest rivers in the United States. In fact it is said to be one of the deepest if not the deepest river right below our cabin or river house or whatever you want to call it. Alot of people from Muhlenburg county have drown there. I think there may be an undercurrent but they were probably poor swimmers as well. The water is clean and good for waterskiiing, fishing, and jet skis. You are a fat slob and your wife is ugly. Good day to you.
