Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote:Yes, and neither did I disagree that TOBS adjustments weren't warranted, nor did I claim a conspiracy. The problem I have with TOBS, as I stated before, is that they just add the same average adjustment (that someone calculated based on a small fraction of the sites) to every site. Instead, they should perform the adjustments on a site by site basis where they first determine the magnitude of the effect of the time change at that specific site, and then make the adjustment starting at the date the site changed it's time of observation.


The other main problem I have with the adjustments, is that any adjustment that gives what the scientist expects (in this case warming) is given far less scrutiny than one that gives the opposite (cooling). Why don't the adjustments average out to zero? Why is the TOBS adjustment so much bigger than the UHI (urban heat island) adjustment? It's very suspicious that the adjustments just happen to push things in the same direction as the initial theory.


What's your point? You are talking about minutia. Who cares.
