B-Man Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 NO U.S. WARMING SINCE 2005 One of the problems in assessing global climate is that the surface temperature record is terrible. There are very few weather stations world-wide, and fewer all the time. Seventy per cent of the world is ocean, and therefore hard or impossible to measure accurately. Most temperatures that go into calculations of a global average are not even measured: they are interpolated, assumed temperatures based on records at other stations. Even when measured, temperature records are not very reliable. The U.S. is generally considered to have the best records, but surveys show that over half of our weather stations do not comply with written standards. Some are located in places that obviously will be warmer than surrounding air, e.g., next to airport runways. Many are in cities, where temperatures are artificially inflated by concentrations of people, motor vehicles, buildings, etc. And on top of all of that, the alarmists who curate weather records have systematically fiddled with them, lowering temperatures that were recorded decades ago and raising recent ones, to exaggerate the supposed phenomenon of global warming. .

Doc Brown Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 That's really interesting, but I REALLY want to try and Nuke a hurricane. I seem to care about little else since Trump mentioned it. Has it been tried? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Last time we heard from President Trump, he claimed to be an environmentalist. “The Trump administration laid out on Thursday a far-reaching plan to cut back on the regulation of methane emissions, a major contributor to climate change. . . . The rollback is particularly notable because major energy companies have, in fact, spoken out against it — joining the ranks of automakers, electric utilities and other industrial giants that have opposed other administration initiatives to dismantle climate-change and environmental rule.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 IT SEEMS DIFFICULT TO SELL LEFTY POLICIES WITHOUT LIES: Forget The Amazon Hype, Fires Globally Have Declined 25% Since 2003 Thanks To Economic Growth. “Any reader of the New York Times and other mainstream media outlet would be forgiven for believing that fires globally are on the rise, but they aren’t. In reality, there was a whopping 25 percent decrease in the area burned from 2003 to 2019, according to NASA. . . . And against the picture painted by celebrities and the mainstream media that fires around the world are caused by economic growth, the truth is the opposite: the amount of land being burned is declining thanks to development, including urbanization. That’s because the amount of land being converted into ranches and farms has been going down, not up, and because more of it is being done with machines than with fire. For the last 35 years, the world has been re-foresting, meaning new tree growth has exceeded deforestation. The area of the Earth covered with forest has increased by an area the size of Texas and Alaska combined.” . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the guy says temp readings are not reliable - so what is he using to substantiate his point? Or is it just his temp readings are reliable?
