Here's something you likely have never seen before in all the pro and con articles about global warming:
THE DATA ON WHICH ALL THE "WARMING" PREDICTIONS ARE BASED ON IS CORRUPT.
According to a WorldNetDaily.com story of November 18, 2007, in order to accurately measure changes in temperature,monitoring stations "must be placed in elevated, slatted boxes on flat ground surrounded by a clear surface on a slope of less than 19 degrees with surrounding grass vegetation's ground cover of less than 10 centimeters high. The sensors must be located at least 100 meters from artificial heating or reflecting surfaces, such as buildings, concrete surfaces and parking lots."
However, what started as one man's personal investigation into the integrity of these stations has turned into a nationwide volunteer effort. What Anthony Watts found was shocking:
The vast majority of the stations surveyed to date fail to meet the prescribed standards. Using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 reflecting proper maintenance and standards and 5 representing facilities that are severely compromised. Watt says 70 percent of those stations surveyed received a 4 or 5 rating, while only 4 percent received a grade of 1.
As anyone who has studied engineering knows, if you have garbage in (bad data) you get garbage out (useless results).
So if you place your sensor in a baking-hot parking lot, near an air-conditioner exhaust, near chimneys, ect., you can count on meaningless - but hotter - results. As more development occurs near sensors, this is exactly what has happened.
If you'd like to volunteer to help with the survey, or just check it out, visit http://www.surfacestations.org/.
