We knew all along that 'global warming' was just some hot air.

There was an article on this years ago: they are in all kinds of hot spots including airport take-off runways. Some are probably by design, some ended up in the wrong place because buildings got adapted.

I remember Rush talking about this twenty years ago. This issue has been intentionally unaddressed for twenty years... Now why would they do that?

I know that they used to capture temperatures in Phoenix, AZ at the Sky Harbor Airport runway! All that concrete and asphalt and sunshine and jet engine exhaust! Definitely skewing the air temp recordations.

Here’s an article from Watts Up With That, run by climatologist Ray Watts . Fact filled and funny website.

He sampled temperature measuring equipment across the country - almost 90% are out of compliance.

Climate doesn’t create climate change, temperature sensors do.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of problems with their data. About the only really solid data they have is from satellites and that's maybe 50 years worth.

Before that they have ground temp stations that are poorly located, uncalibrated and barely maintained. Worse, the data only really covers Part of North America and Europe with any granularity. Go back far enough (150-200 years) and the data is just some guy at a lighthouse randomly taking readings on a thermometer he may have built himself along the coast.

Then they use this crap data to extrapolate globally, and then use that limited inaccurate data set over 200 years to extrapolate earlier from tree rings and ice cores.

If it were actually good data, it still would have margins of error orders of magnitude greater than the changes they forecast. As it is, it's total bullshit.

They claim they can "fix" some of these problems with data massaging. That's not how data works - worshippers of "Science" should know this.

Stop noticing things you're not supposed to notice.

They place them at airports near the asphalt covered runways.

Defund Noaa

And I remember learning in grade school science that air temp is only measured in shaded areas. 🤔

Redhanded comes to mind

It could all be benign. I read something many years ago about the general trend of warming. The measuring stations were placed outside cities, but the cities have been growing and "engulfed" the sensors. Don't know if it is true, but it sure seems plausible.
