Evaluating The Integrity Of Official Climate Records 41

[zdas04]

There is a 53 minute presentation at Evaluating The Integrity Of Official Climate Records from Steve Goddard (who starts by describing his qualifications which seem to be rock solid) that shows many high quality examples of how dramatically the climate data has been modified. One interesting observation is that approximately 50% of U.S. weather stations have been taken out of service in the last 30 years (primarily rural) and the data is "estimated" based on the remaining stations which are primarily urban (and most have been "corrected" for heat island effects). His data shows clearly exactly how the climate data has been manipulated (always in the same direction). It is worth 53 minutes to see if your credibility button gets pushed.

Cranky,
The statement

to show that there is more in play in the real world than just CO2

deserves a star.

If you torture data long enough, you can make it confess to anything.

How many stations had trees grow up around them cooling their readings.

...or had trees cut down around them...

The only change in tree population near stations I'm willing to accept are those which prove my biased point, obviously.
