The guy that started the weather channel is calling global warming a hoax. Part of this hoax (Weather channel guy made this claim) involves shutting down 1000's of weather monitoring stations with cooler average temperatures. This results in a statistically manipulated rise in the average global temperature.
How do we make this info mainstream?
Anthony Watts ran http://surfacestations.org/ and cataloged thousands of biased surface weather stations as well some years ago.
