Data from a Real Climatologist

[chuckChuck]

If you don't believe NOAA's data, analysis and maps that is up to you.

Your opinions and observations are not considered scientific evidence.

And for many of you it doesn't matter what scientific fact or evidence exists you don't believe it anyway! LOL

That is why several of you might as well be members of the flat earth society.

BTW: the NOAA maps clearly show that what LEP has posted that our region had a cooler than average growing season.

But our region is not the whole globe.

Starting in the mid 90s, the government of Canada also stripped down hundreds of former weather collection sites. Mine was one of them. There used to be a reporting site every 20 or so miles. Now? Reporting sites are the ones you see in the pages of forecasts online. From Humboldt to Canora, there are no stations, a distance of about 200 km. There used to be at least five. They no longer exist. And these clowns somehow think they are getting accuracy.

Sheep they don't need weather stations. Its all created in the MSM studio.

I cant believe we let idiotic narratives take over like this.

Here is an excellent opportunity to prove me wrong Chuck.

Count the number of pixels in the Pacific Ocean on those maps, then research how many weather stations there are in the same area, and get back to us. Same for the arctic if you have time.

Yes, they bob around in the ocean at regularly spaced intervals. Or they send little chuck chucks out in row boats.

Any guesses as to why ocean measurements start very accurately in the early 80's? Can you think of a technology that was "launched" at that time?

You are referring to a different dataset. And it is not preferred by the Chuck's of the world because it doesn't show the same warming trend as the ground based measurements.

And yes, there are buoys bobbing around recording temperature data across the oceans, just not to the grid accuracy that these maps purportedly indicate.

YES, so true. Although there seems to be lots of data coming out of the heat syncs - aka cities.

Yesterday on the Afternoon Edition program on CBC Garth Materie was featuring a report on the cooler than normal summer. He led in stating that the numbers were in and to no ones surprise it was much cooler than normal with more than a few record cold days.

I was interested to here the data on how deficient we were on heat to bring the crop along

His guest was introduced as head of extreme weather from Enviroment and Climate Change Canada.

The interview was lacking in any data as she just spoke in generalities like it was "a little cooler" and the crop started out lat due to an unusual June.

No words like "record" or "colder" ever came out of here mouth.

It was like a prepared statement.

Garth tried to do an interview but seemed to catch on that she was saying nuthin.

I expect due to the unfortunate situation in that the weather is now politics she feared she might be quoted saying it was a cold year. Editorialized weather?

It's suppose to be data reporting. Who allows them to editorialize?

Les Henry had a few questions and comments on that situation in his Grainews report.

He said that was important info but is all done with computer simulation now.

He used the example that there is no daily temps kept for the whole Melfort/Nipawin area.

Our record highs/lows consist of a period from 2005-2013 on the Enviro-Canada website.

Where did all that data go?

By slowly getting rid of the rural and countryside measurement locations, correspondingly increases the proportion of urban(heat sinks)locations. By doing this, it's enviable temperatures are going to rise.

How do you know that they haven't accounted for this already?

They have, and if you bother to check the track record of adjustments, every single time they serve to lower the historical Temps and increase present day.

Like recorded by aliens?

NOAAGlobalTemp is a merged land–ocean surface temperature analysis (formerly known as MLOST). It is a spatially gridded (5° × 5°) global surface temperature dataset, with monthly resolution from January 1880 to present.

Guess who made the maps? With which data? From where? Hint: It's not from aliens on Mars.

My great uncle Joseph Proudman was one of the first people to measure sea temperature around 1933.

http://www.pol.ac.uk He has quite a legacy but does show how recent most of this data is a mere blink in the history of the earth.
